Wayne I just saw your post from June. Sorry for your problems and happy that all is well and no damage was done to your coach. You said that you are going to change both tires. Since these are rear tires and are drive tires is it wise to only change two tires on one side and not the other side as well? My thought is wear. It may seem to be very little but you could have tires of different dia. on the defferential. Just my thought, Maybe the gentleman (sorry I can't remember his name)that is a retired tire design eng. might have a thought on that. Again glad you'll are safe.

Ronnie, as Brett said welcome to the Forum. There are several other concerns I might have other then the generator. How about Fresh Water? What is your capacity and how long will it last for your needs? How about holding tanks? What are their capacities? Putting it all together and 30 hours might be enough before you have to go dump, get water and fuel. All the thoughts of getting a additional tank installed, separate stand alone tank, changing out your propane tank for a much larger one (enough room?) to changing to the generator for a diesel (very costly, 5 to 6 thousand of dollars and again space) might be too costly. If your coach was plumbed for a diesel generator your fuel line is set for 1/4 tank so as not to empty your tank. If is wasn't plumbed you will have to tap into a fuel line and then not have that safety factor. With all these factor out there I think you have a lot to think about before you spend a lot of money. Go have fun, you and always got replenish when needed.

Mario, let me be the first to welcome you to the Forum. The 2 inches longer will have no effect on your slide. What you might look at is how much space is between the wall and the end of the mattress. If when the slide in in and you have several inches of space you should be OK. Just my opinion but even if you old mattress touches the replacement mattress being 2 inches longer won't matter it will only compress the mattress a little.

Welcome the Forum. If you have had your slide both out and in and you have no marks on the laminate, you should be ok. As you go down the road have someone look at the bottom of the slide and look for too much bounce. If you see some you might want to adjust a little, but if there isn't too much bounce you should again be OK.

Born and raised in TEXAS. Had BBQ lots of places. Hard to say which was the best because they all had something better the the others. The one place that I have never been to is The Salt Lick near Austin, TX. Heard about it for more year then I will mention. Some one tell me if they have been there and how was it.

You might check with your insurance carrier. I have beem told that some Companys will not pay if you do not have a braking system. Also as said, there have been cases where a person ran a stop light injured people and totaled cars and they didn't have to pay a cent because the injured parties inspection sticker was out expired. Because they would not have been on the road to be hit if they had followed the law and not driven on an expired inspection. Picky but true.

Ward I started a post sometime back on just that subject. Go to Forum-General Discussion-A funny thing happend on the way to the Forum. See if you can top mine, the first post.

Oh come on, wer'e all friends. Let us hear it.

Try Brite White Tire Cleaner. Be careful with over spray. Let stand for 4 or 5 min. then wash with soapy water and a stiff brush, then rinse with clean water. If it doesn't clean complety the first time dry and repeat. This stuff will clean the really dirty tires so it should work on your gasket. You can get it at WalMart or Auto Zone. For a stiff brush may I suggest that you don't use your wifes toothbrush.

Koot, Welcome to the Forum. Take a look and see if you have kill switch in your battery compartment. It should be a Red Round selector switch. When washing out your Bat. compt. you may have gotten water in the switch or you may have just switched it off while cleaning. I know you have looked but could someone have tripped the Battery Switch in the front entrance of your coach? Are you a member of any road side assiatance groups? If so they may have a tech to talk to. Good Luck.

Bill, that was what I was talking about. I didn' know if it was a plan or just a feature. Thanks

Welcome to the Forum. Call Dish and ask if they have a plan where you can get the local, ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox.I heard they have such a plan. You can pick either East Coast or West Coast. Check it out and let the Forum know.

Go to FMCA home page, under quick link click on dingy towing. You can find a list for current models. There are articles for 2000 to 2011. Check it out for something to tow.

Bobbyks, Welcome to the forum. In southern Louisiana you need to look up the Cruzin Cajens RV Club. Good strong club that has a lot of fun. You didn't say how you are charging you batteries, Inverter or trickle charger. How old are your batteries? If your batteries are in good shape then it would seem that your charging system is just charging and not monitoring your Batteries. You may get a response from Brett, who has a lot of experience in these matters. When you find your answer be sure to post the solution so others may benefit. Again, welcome to FMCA and the Forum.

Tom, Since we both have Monacos I would assume I have the same wiring. Again nice post.

Your pictures are great. Were you able to plug into the same outlet that the norcold was using? Tom I don't know if you know that Lowe's give a 10% discount to Veterans. We will be doing just this early next year. Thanks for the pictures.

See how smart people that own Monacos are.

Frank, how does the unit hold up when moving? Will it work OK on your inverter? Do you just raise the ice maker level when traveling? Would love to hear how well it works. We keep our coach in our barn pluged in when we are not on the road. We always shut down the Norcold 1200 when in the barn. Would be nice to have a household unit that could be left on.

With our present coach, we went through Essex Credit. They are a broker that will find you as good a rate as you can find. The dealer we bought our coach from was very leery of Essex when they came back with 2% lower rate then they had quoted. That was until they received the loan paper work and it was being financed through Wacovia, now Wells Fargo. John and his staff are very helpful. Give them a shot. Good Luck,

Tom & Karen, The next time you leave Onaway and you are onurway to Texas check with FMCA for Lone Star Rallies. We would love to have a set of native Wisconsins join us.

Welcome to the Forum. t5watson5, if you go to the Forum, Type A, Subject "Clear Coat Issue on Monaco" By JRAZZ, you will find several peoples commets on this topic. By the way are you a member of FMCA? If so congratulations. If not take a look at all the benifits you will have if you join.

Penpails, Welcome to the Forum. One thing, if you have nothing with the key on you may have the 12v solenoid out. I think Brett mentioned this. I had it go out on my 92 Windsor. Got the part at Auto Zone. As Tom said, call Monaco tech dept. they will be more then happy to help. If you do purchase the coach be sure and register it with Monaco. They will keep you up on any recalls. You will really enjoy your Dynasty. If you haven't joined FMCA please do as soon as you purchase the coach. Good luck,

Bill, you need to stay in better park.
