RE: Setting the time on dash radio - 2008 Monaco
Ray - your instructions were spot on. Thanks.
Mr. Mark - I could not agree more. The radio is pathetic. We've been looking to replace ours with something better. When we eventually do that we plan to also add front speakers somewhere closer to the dash so that the sound is more aimed at the driving/passenger seats. That is a "one of these days" project because the stock radio still works...more or less. :)

RE: Setting the time on dash radio - 2008 Monaco
Mr. Mark was right. Thank you so much. Here is a link to my radio.

I think I could have punched buttons all day and would not have hit this one right without the manual. :)

RE: Setting the time on dash radio - 2008 Monaco
Unfortunately that is the problem. The radio has no brand markings. It is very generic.

Setting the time on dash radio - 2008 Monaco
Does anyone know what type of radios came in a 2008 Monaco Knight? I need to set the radio time and don't have a manual. The radio is Sirius ready with a CD slot for a single CD. There are two large round buttons on the left stacked vetically with volume on top and a tune/track/ch button on the bottom. There are five rectangular buttons horizontally on the bottom middle. On the right there are four buttons stacked vertically. Any ideas?

RE: Thetford Tecma toilet not refilling correctly
My toilet seems to work okay when you press both buttons to empty the bowl. It clears all water from the bowl. I am suspicious of that switch too. I wonder why it works when warm though. And to make it even weirder, the inside of the coach is almost always above 65 so I'm thinking it must be something exposed to the outside temperature, but don't know what that might be.

Thetford Tecma toilet not refilling correctly
Our toilet is acting strange. It flushes correctly when the temperature is above 65 degrees, correctly draining and then refilling the bowl to the programmed level about half way up the flush outlet hole. When the temperature is below 65 degrees the bowl drains correctly with plenty of vacuum, but does not refill the bowl. Some water comes in, but not much. This happens both on city water and on the pump out of the fresh water tank.
I assumed it was low water pressure so I checked the faucets and they flow strong. I'm not sure where to check next. Has anyone else experienced this behavior?

RE: Water leak from fridge
It turns out we have/had multiple problems. First, the fins were iced over and dripping down outside the drip pan. We had filled the fridge too full and had he door open too long I guess. We were able to clear a lot of that and it helped.
Second, the ice maker line had two pinhole leaks. The cheapo plastic was pretty brittle so we put some of that rubber-sealing tape stuff and that is now a slow seep. We will need to get that replaced but I bet it will be expensive from what I've read. I can't physically pull the fridge and will have to pay to have that done.
Third, the drain lines from the drip pan were so crunchy brittle that would fall apart when you touched them. I'll need to get those replaced and resealed.
Thank you all for the information. Between your advice and the internet I now know at least what is wrong. I appreciate you.

RE: Water leak from fridge
I do have an ice maker. I'll check for pinholes when I get back this afternoon. I had more or less ruled that out because it was mostly happening at night. Perhaps that was just coincidence.
I'll also check for the drain line. I didn't see the pan but maybe I wasn't looking in the right place. Thanks for the advice.

Water leak from fridge
We are in our second week in our 2008 Monaco Knight. The fridge has begun to leak or make condensation (don't know which) that allows about 1/4 cup of water to accumulate on the floor in the morning. I haven't seen it during the day and the spot dries up with a fan on it. There is even more water on the outside of the coach on the pavement below the slide out with the fridge.
I've taken the outside inspection cover off and there are no leaks there. The white plastic flex hose that feeds a weep drain at the bottom of the slide is broken and I will replace it. With that said, it is dry where the hose is broken. The area is also dry.
Does anyone have any ideas where to begin to look to trace the source of the water? I can only see access from the lower and upper inspection plates outside and they have not helped.

RE: 2008 Monaco Knight Sewer Line
Thanks to all for the great information. I checked and the propane tank area appears to be a good solution for me too. I'll be sure to leave clearance for air flow in case of a leak. Good stuff.

RE: 2008 Monaco Knight Sewer Line
Thank you. That makes perfect sense now that you've said it. The gunk has to have a way to get into the Sanicon system. I don't know why I didn't think of that.
Do you use a Sanicon system? If not, where do you store your sewer line. Mine is sot of jammed in and around the T-handles. That is how it was when we got it, but there is surely a better place.

2008 Monaco Knight Sewer Line
We bought our 2008 Monaco Knight last year. The utility bay has a Sanicon system. Just below the Sanicon hose is a stiff sewer hose (much the same stiffness of a car's radiator hose.) The attached sewer hose comes out of a covered area and appears to be attached inside the cover. The part that comes out of the cover is a female end with the hooks to mate with the male end of the tank drops.
The prior owner attached a "normal" RV sewer line to the Y fitting with a hose clamp. (By normal I mean like a Camco or RhinoFlex.) This hose works great and is easy to use, just drag the other end to the dump and pull the t-handle to drop the black and gray water.
My question is this; does anyone know what the rigid hose does? What was it intended to be used for? It is only about 2 feet long, and appears to be attached to a PVC Ell fitting inside the cover. I was trying to clean up my utility bay because right now it is stuffed with the normal sewer hose.
Thanks,
Chuck
