Here is what I use in Tramp:

(defstruct tramp-file-name multi-method method user host path)

After this, there is a constructor make-tramp-file-name which can be
called like this:

(make-tramp-file-name :multi-method x
                      :method y
                      :user u
                      :host h
                      :path p)

And there are functions tramp-file-name-multi-method through
tramp-file-name-path which get the corresponding items.

And then you can do 

    (setf (tramp-file-name-host x) "new-host")

to change the "host" component of a structure.

Does this help?
