RE: 2006 dynasty monacco
Don't be embarrassed these machines are complicated and we are all learning
On both sides you will find a small door approx. 6" sq .
They both need a key to open .
Inside those fuel doors the cap screws on and should be on a chain or cable .
Many of us tilt the coach a little with our air leveling so we can fill the
tank better .
Don't try fill both side or have the opposite cap off you can have diesel
running out on the ground .
Our engines use the same oil as the big trucks 15/40 .

RE: engine antifreeze
Drain the overflow tub and the radiator and replace it with regular anti freeze from Walmart.
Or have Walmart do it for you.
Not on my worst day.
You have either a Fleet Guard fully formulated which has the SCA's in it or you have an OAT coolant depending on the year of your rig. A call to Freightliner can tell you which they put in when built.
Freightliner wont be able to help him , his coach is built on a Roadmaster chassis .
I bought Peak million mile heavy duty diesel coolant at Wal-Mart
approx. 12.50 per gal .
Cummins/Fleetgard has decided that coolants are actually compatible .
So it appears that now you can drain the old coolant , blow out
what you can and refill .

RE: 1999 holiday Rambler Endeavor
Doug on my Windsor the slide control is in the right rear( pass side )
electrical bay .
If you have an electrical bay back there yours may be there also .
It is just a board with relays and a 5 amp fuse which can stop the
slide .
Have you made sure all the bay doors are closed and sure the switches
are operating and not bent .

RE: Cummins 5 year old synthetic oil with 1000 miles - change ?
Actually I feel like it is ok but who really knows , 5 yrs is a long time .
I used to think cancer was a death sentence and 75 was to old to care
but I don't feel like that anymore now 75 is quite young and he may have a
lot of traveling yet to do .
Not telling you to do this but I would give my friend a 100 bucks and
say maybe this will help .
Like SOBOVA asked how about the tires ? Those may be the real concern .

RE: 1999 Monaco Windsor Dash air/heat trouble
Oldave rereading your reply the vacuum generator may be what I was looking at. I did find a bad connection on it but I never fired up the coach after nothing ran after I repaired the connection. I'll put it back together and run the coach to see if its repaired. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks
Right Robbie you'll need to run the engine because the vacuum gen
uses air pressure .
Finding the bad connection will probably fix your problem .
Good going .

RE: 100K miles
2001 did not use the same trailing arms Per Source Engineering. The bad one started in 2002
Thanks
Good news , Thanks
Obviously I didn't know that , actually I thought all the Knights
of that era were the same .
I would still scoot under with a strong flashlight and look them
over myself , make sure there was no cracks .
I believe at one time there was pictures on the IRV2 Monaco forum

RE: 100K miles
100k just shows it was put together right , didn't blow up during
break in .
You probably know about the recall on the rear trailing arms for your
chassis .
Chances are the arms have already been replaced , so an alert just in
case .
The original Monaco is long gone so you will have to pay for it
yourself .
Source Engineering makes replacements .

RE: 1999 Monaco Windsor Dash air/heat trouble
Robbie ,
Mine has a little black plastic 12v pump above the gen .
On some coaches mostly earlier models they used a vacuum generator
powered by compressed air blowing over a venturi .
I believe it is a metal box with an air and vacuum hose attached .
Should be mounted on the firewall above the Onan gen .
They are very reliable as there is not much to go bad , maybe the
elect air valve or stopped up inside . Cleaning should take care of that .

RE: Alternative satellite option?
We use our roof top in motion dome all the time , traveling or parked .
Now I don't park in the trees if I want satellite and the RV parks
often ask if I have satellite .
If they don't ask I tell them , there is seldom a problem and on that
pare occasion I have a dish on a tripod that I can set up if we want it
We will be sad to see in motion cease if in fact that happens but I
don't think that will actually comes about .
No doubt some changes will happen soon which will most likely be the
end of SD ( standard definition ) reception requiring at least up graded
receivers .
BTW I'm speaking Direct TV here .

RE: New old ride
My better half and I went to a fiver about seven years ago. Got the itch recently to go back to a motorbike. We found a very well loved 2003 Tiffin Paeton 40GH and made the jump. I would be glad to hear any suggestions for this vehicle as we as suggestions for a toad.

RE: Batteries(new) supply power sporadically
Ground cables for both starting and house batteries are sometimes
attached at one place , likely the frame .
A bad connection there can cause a problem for both circuits .
I would find where the ground cables attach to the frame , clean
until you see bright metal then tighten good .
Good luck let us know

RE: Bad Dog = No Start and No shifting of Transmission
You repaired it good enough to get it down to the garage so why not go down
and recheck your repair .
Goofing up on the side of the road is not the end of the world .
I have had to eat crow before when i was 100% sure I was right .
So I think it is possible like others have stated that you have a couple
of wires wrong . You need a strong flash light and cleaner so you can be
sure of the wire color and stripe if they have stripes .
Another possibility is when the dog jerked on the harness maybe he pulled
something loose that you haven't spotted yet .
Follow the wires , maybe they are broken somewhere else too or unplugged
farther away from your splices .
Unless Ford used some resistance wiring which is possible I think the talk
about not being able to solder is bunk
I think that resistance wire will look different probably a single strand
and won't solder well or at all .
The garage doesn't want to get involved , actually I don't blame them
they are probably worried about transmission liability .
If those things don't help then you are left with RV salvage places .

RE: To Buy or build
IMHO your roles should have been reversed .
You should have been the one saying I'll build us an RV .
She should have said your crazy and telling you no way.
Of she would win and save the day.
A few people can pull this off but probably 90% + never get
finished by the person that started the conversion .
The few conversions I've seen look like a home made RV
and have noticeable design or arrangement flaws
We would probably end up killing each other .

RE: Quick reply please.
They want input from those that have been on this pass before, which seems
like a good idea to me .
It is often more scary for the pass than the driver , you have no control .
I do the driving of our DP MOHO and have avoided roads that the DW thought
was scary .
I used to see any pass or road as a challenge to be conquered , not so much
anymore .
Challenging to me might be torture to her
Now days she might even be more adventurous than me, she is a little younger .
We have been over Slumguillion Pass and it can be challenging and is not to be
taken lightly
Why not park the coach and drive it in the car , it's beautiful up there .

RE: Rv sofa and chairs
Our recliner chairs are not used for seating while traveling
The belts are there from when the sofa was there .
The remaining sofa has its own seat belts so passengers
can ride there .
I have made a panic stop and our dining chairs stayed put without
much movement at all .
Things like a case of Cokes are more inclined to move it seems
or at least in our case
I have seen things tossed around in my bro in laws 5th wheel which
leads me to believe that the ride is much smoother in a large pusher .

RE: Rv sofa and chairs
I think you will need to turn the sofa up side down to determine where you can
bolt on " L " brackets, 4 would be best . I would shop at Lowes or Home Depot
for L brackets and some rather large lag bolts , maybe 3/8 or 1/2 inch
At the same time you could install seat belts if they are not already there .
We had 2 sofas in our coach so we removed one of them and installed 2 euro
recliners . We use the seat belts to secure those recliners when we travel .
You may be able to secure your sofa with seat belts .
Our dining chairs are not secured they just sit there never moving .
I have found things don't move around except when I made a really hard stop
then a few things move a little .

RE: I got the shakes
I figured beads were what he meant but I have heard of people using BBs or those plastic pellets the kids shoot
I bet dry sand would work too.
Many things could balance at least for a while
Equal powder is the one I have heard could clump.
