  1. uechiyondan, Just Click on your model number in my post and it will open the electrical portion for your coach! Open the Auto electric file, look at page #2, upper right hand corner. Sounds like there maybe a loose connector, some times they are in behind the door panels. Good luck Rich.
  2. Bigwheels, Take a look at this link. Might be something that would work for you or get you started in the right direction, without breaking the bank and a good one to pack. http://www.lowes.com/pd_349204-70-C2002_0__?productId=4764588&Ntt=air+compressors&pl=1&currentURL=%3FNtt%3Dair%2Bcompressors&facetInfo= Rich.
  3. John, Welcome to the FMCA Forum! Like Brett mentioned, check with Monaco, the only item I might suggest checking into is if your coach is equipped with 2 inverters and one might not be working. By chance does your coach have and electric stove? if so and its working then both inverters are working and it is an issue between the breaker box and the outlets in question. Rich. Edit, I kind answered my one question regarding the potability of dual inverters. the sales brochure lists one 2000w inverter. If you would like a copy of the Brochure try this link. It has some us full contact information. http://www.monacocoach.com/StaticFiles/monaco/brochures/2007/07Camelot.pdf
  4. jsdelo ,I have looked at all the wiring information I have and there is no indication of a park brake buzzer. The last phone number I have for Monaco technical support is 877-466-6226. Rich.
  5. vtxbiker, Welcome to the FMCA Forum ! You might try to look around the web for RV salvage yards that might have the cable, if you have not tried them. This link might get you started. http://www.yellowpages.com/elkhart-in/rv-salvage-yard This link might get you some help or leads. http://www.dinosaurelectronics.com/ http://rvappliances.visonerv.com/cgi-bin/welcome.pl? Rich.
  6. jsdelo, Welcome to the FMCA Forum! Monaco generally uses one buzzer circuit to monitor multiple items. Is the buzzer always on or not working? Rich.
  7. uechiyondan, Could you post the actual model number for your coach? See the list below. different models can be wired different. Adventurer (G) WFG31Y WFG33V WFG35U WFG37B WFG37C WFG38G WFG38R Rich.
  8. Thanks for your response! Grounds and the lack of them is always a problem! The common cry on the forum is, Check the Grounds! Check the grounds. Good to hear that you are up and running and for passing along the cause of the dash malfunction! Rich.
  9. Hi Neil, Welcome to the FMCA Forum! This is a link to that might be of help regarding you Dash Instrument cluster. Wish I could say that I have used them for service, but that is not the case. http://www.instrumentclusters.com/ Rich.
  10. Gary, Welcome to the FMCA Forum! The generators that are not mounted on a slid and need to be checked or have major / even minor work done on them need to be removed. This is done by elevating the front of the coach, disconnecting the electrical, fuel lines, the exhaust system and the mounting bolts. Then the entire unit is lowered out the bottom and moved from under the coach. Most coaches have a portion of the front cowling that can be removed to allow enough room. A job that requires the proper tools. Primarily a Pallet jack or something very similar that can support the unit as its lowered and then wheeled out from under the coach. Often there are access panels that allow inspection of some areas and these panels very, often by model. Looking at the owners manual for your model, I do not see any sign of panels that would allow access to the areas needed to get a good look at the cooling system plumbing. Rich.
  11. Donn, Welcome to the FMCA forum! The price of solar panels keeps dropping and as Kay mentioned one can find some good prices. From your post it sounds like the coach could be under a roof or totally enclosed. That being the case you will need to consider the power level. Current and voltage requirements, the gauge of the wire, the length of the run and check for any phantom loads on the batteries even with them disconnected using the disconnect circuits. Rich.
  12. Tim, Your drive set up as I view it, looks like a motor driven gear box with a coupler connecting it to the slide drive wheel / gear. The coupler should have a set screw holding it it in place. you should be able to move the coupler left or right, that might allow you to remove it. Then a socket driven by a power drill might move it in or out. You might need a shallow socket and a socket extension, there is one called a (wobble bar / Extension) that allows the socket to stay square on the shaft and the drill motor to be at an angle. Sure makes it allot easier, if your slide is setup that way. I have no clue to what the plastic pieces might be from, a leftover from a prior owner? The rubber looks like part of a seal. Rich.
  13. With all the bad weather issues the past few weeks, thought this link might be helpful to all the members of the forum that are traveling. This link will allow one to look at each state and depending on the state there are a number of links that might help find areas that might be a challenge finding electrical power. Lose of power can interrupt a number of services. Always good to know what one might be driving into, many of the links also post flooding alerts or storms that could have an impact on your travels. This is when Smart Phones come in handy !! http://www.outagecentral.com/ Rich.
  14. gsvrcek, Welcome to the FMCA forum! The gas valves can open when first activated, only to close again. The coils resistance can change, but make sure that ALL the electrical connections are clean and tight. Make sure the grounds are tight and the board contacts are clean. Use a contact cleaner on the cable connector and a pencil eraser to clean the board / any flat board connector(s). Rich.
  15. Kind of sounds like your control board software was not updated. When the units first came out, they made that sound when it started and then ran quiet. That board failed on mine and a new one with the software update ended that issue and the issue of the inverter not turning on and off properly. Rich..

  23. promethias, Welcome to the FMCA forum! Thanks for posting your thoughts and how you addressed a personal concern. The fact that there is a lack of mid coach turn indication has been a item of concern to me also. I have not made any attempt to add additional turn indicators and keep a heightened awareness of conditions ahead and to the side(s) to minimize sudden lane changes. Having said that, the thought of the addition of turn indicators is one that I should address! Rich.
  24. Chuck , I will send you a Private Message with some information on a possible solution to replacing your seal. Rich.
