RE: C12 starting batteries
This post begs the question. Has your engine ALWAYS done this or is this a new phenomenon? If it's always done it then you need to check if they are the correct batteries. Your user manual should give you that info. If it's new then you need to check other things. My coach uses the same batteries with no issues. Like you though, I did have my batteries checked this year as they were six years old and my coach seemed to struggle to start. "They" told me the batteries were perfect, that is, until they were not. Checking them a week later "they" said two cells were failing. Two new batteries and I'm in business again. YMMV....Dennis

RE: Question about inverter transfer switch
Mine does the same thing and has done so since new. I can hear the switch activating when switching over. Monaco techs said it's a safety feature built into the coach and is normal....Dennis

RE: Good Sam trip planner
I have a paper map of the country and outline our trips from that. Using a protractor and compass, I can outline everything every three hours out as that's all we choose to travel in a day. I can then pick and choose campgrounds from there and use Google maps to plan my trip. Doing it this way also allows me to find things to see and do when we arrive at our destination campground....math is fun.....Dennis
THIS may help.

RE: Looking to buy, ALADIN?
The Aladdin system is an information system that provides a lot of info about your RV. They can be replaced by the Silverleaf system. There is a lot of info about both systems and the switchout over at iRV2 forum. Rather than try to tell you everything it does, incl your camera system, I've attached a link to the user manual in pdf form. It will show you everything it offers....hope you have some savings if you need to replace/repair it. Could be expensive, or not depending on why it doesn't work......Dennis

RE: LEDs Replacement for Flourscent
Exactly ! Plug and play are for convenience sake and do little for what you are assuming they do which is reduction of energy consumption. Remember LEDs do not need the ballast. Buy a roll of led lights, remove the fixture, strip out the ballast and all the unnecessary junk and run four strip lights. Reinstall the fixture and you're done.........Dennis

RE: dealer advertising
You should skip the financing part if you're paying cash. Remember the dealer makes tons of money off your financing regardless of who does the loan.....Dennis

RE: 2006 dynasty monacco
First, you need a "Y" connector for the black dump to work correctly. :B
You should have three disconnects. One is a rocker switch just inside the entry door. This turns off most, but not all the 12VDC in the coach. The house battery shut off is in the compartment with your 6VDC batteries. (last compartment on passenger side) The engine batteries shut off is in the engine compartment also on the passenger side....
As for the dump valves, you'll have to be more specific as to what you're needs are. If you want to know where they are, they're on the drivers side midships. You most likely will have a macerator which is activated by a switch in that compartment...if the valve is broken, you can find a replacement at Camping World, Amazon or most any RV parts store. It is a Valterra valve. Easy to replace.... more info from you will garner more info from the fine folks on this forum....Dennis

RE: RV appliance repair in Sacramento area
Doctor George has passed away.
I have used Allied, McColloghs, and Dennys Mobile RV with great results.
Sad to hear George is gone. He was a hoot. That said, his company is still thriving. Worth a call, but I can't make any recommendation as I dealt with the owner. I can't imagine the apple falling too far from the tree....Link below....Dennis

Fuses should be checked with a meter. I would not suspect a fuse however. My bet is on a bad ground from one of the lights....Dennis

Best in Sacto is RV Doctor George. Not sure if he's still around though. Used him several times when we lived there. Loved his shop. If you use him, you'll see what I mean when you visit....Dennis

RE: Supplementary lighting
I don't care if they are road legal -- no one else is on the road at night and I'd rather get a ticket than a tow truck.
Thanks.

RE: Renting out your RV--Help
Ann, I'll chime back in. The reason we get so flippant is it makes very little sense to rent out our RV. Insurance is expensive but I'd bet most private individuals that rent out the RV don't carry the proper insurance anyway and are simply rolling the dice. The only time anyone would rent out their personal RV would be when they are so far upside down on it that they either rent it out or lose it back to the bank. An RV is a major depreciating asset and as such it makes little sense to buy it and rent it out to try and make some money on it. Second is the fact that they are somewhat picky about meeting trees and curbs. Would you feel comfortable taking your RV on say, Highway 50 through Nevada after renting it out? I wouldn't. Think long long highway stretches with no cell service and no cities or garages for miles and miles. Third is the inside of the coach itself. Most of us leave a lot of personal stuff inside the RV even when in storage. What a pain it would be to empty it out simply to rent it for a bit and then put it all back in when we want to use it again. This topic has come up before and the results are the same. It makes no financial sense to rent out a private RV. You might try posting this in the trailer section as they do things differently... Best of luck to you....Dennis
