We have a 2002 Monaco Dynasty with a Cummins ISL 400. This week, while taking the coach to have the Norcold recall done, I experienced loss of power and billows of white smoke coming from the tailpipe. I left it running while calling Coach-Net. During the call the engine cleared up and ran fine. When I was returning from having the service done, it statred to smoke and lose power again. This time it took over 45 minutes to clear up. One service center did over five hours of diagnosis and found nothing wrong. They drove it almost 100 miles during their investigation and had no problems. Next, I took the motorhome to our local Cummins dealer for work associated with a technical bullentin. They found weird code and are having to call Cummins. When they started to pull it into the shop, white smoke and no power again. Sorry for the long explination. But has anyone out there had a similar problem? If it was solved, what was found? All help greatly appreicated.

M&G Engineering makes both electric and air braking systems. If you understand power brakes you know how hard it is to stop a vehicle when the engine is not running. M&G unit fits in between the power brake booster and the master cylinder. When the brake is applied (Air or Electric) it applies pressure right to the master cylinder with the same force your coach brake is appling. Great, great, great unit. With a life time warrenty.

I found the best place to buy 6 volt(golf cart batteries) is at Sam's Club. They are reasonable and you can install them yourself. However when you install the batteries it appears that you will need to make up new cables since the previous owner took evey thing with him. First of all, that was a rotten thing to do. How were you able to check out the coach before you purchased it? Sorry back to the instalation. You will need several feet of 1/0 cable, and cable lugs. You can get the cable from your local welding distributor. He will know what you are looking for. The lugs will need to be for 1/0 cable with 1/4" or 5/16" holes. on my last battery change out I had flickering with my 12 volt lights. I solved the problem by cleaning the lugs to bright brass. I purchased brass flat washers (2 per post) and brass nuts. You will only need to do this if you have the old cables. Put washer, battery lug washer, then nut. After installation get and apply a battery sealent from your auto parts store.The cable will be very/very/very stiff, so before you install the batteries set them on the ground or table top as they would fit in the battery tray and make the cables so you know length bends and so forth. I hope this will help you with your batteries. Happy charging. Herman
