Very true Ross, except in making fairly sharp turns and then they can be a bear. (Wheel drag) I still prefer a tandem over a single. A tandem will not fish tail as bad as a single if loaded wrong. Herman

Sounds like you have a Ride Height Adjusting rod either out of adjustment or a broken rubber adjusting grommet on the rear. Herman

Welcome to the Forum, Tie her down, have lights and brakes. Be safe and enjoy. Herman

Thank to you both. Herman

Carl, Sorry I didn't respond to your comment on the appropriate 2 inch from one side to the other. A 2" adjustment on the rear could only mean maybe a quarter of an inch at the adjusting rod. I will get the factory specifications before I adjust anything. I will let you know the results. Herman

Joe, I am not disputing that the aluminum tow bar is weak as you showed in your picture. However I did notice that on the bar there was indication it had been torqued really bad in one direction. Just my observation. Herman

Carl, we have stayed several times at the Wakeeney, KS KOA. We have found it to be a friendly location, a little hard to get into but nice level site. Will stay there again if we are in the area. Herman

Thanks Kay, had one brake several months ago. I had to laugh, the shop that fixed is, I was away from home, charged me $230.00. Labor approx $200.00 and parts $30.00. (I rounded the numbers). The part was the rubber grommet. I have found them on line for $1.94 each plus shipping. The International Truck dealer has the kit, one rod and two grommets for $17.00. I am going to order 5 on line. I will try to find the factory spec. on the Roadmaster chassis. Update to follow. Herman

Thanks Kay. Will block it up and try the adjustments. Herman

I drive a 40 foot 2002 Monaco Dynasty on a Roadmaster chassis. There are 3 (three) Ride Height Adjusting rods, 1 (one) above the front axle in the center and 2 (two) in the rear just about the drive axle. I would like to raise the left side about two inches. It alway is a bit low on the left side under normal conditions. It does level ok. Has anyone adjusted the rods? I know how to adjust the rods but do not know which direction to move the adjustment to either raise or lower the side. Herman

Ocean front property in Arizona, there's got to be a joke in there some place.😁 Bill, check with www.rvparksreview.com. You may have to check put quite a few. Herman

Rick, I was looking into doing the same as you. I was going to replace my rear unit, a Dometic 13,000 btu with a 15,000 btu/heat pump 9my unit has a heat pump. Dometic said it was no problem but would need a new thermostat but that it would use the same wiring. A call to Dometic will get all the information you need. Do you plan on doing it your self or hiring it done? Also I would just replace the rear and not move the front one. Since the front one is also 23 years old also, it may not be long before it also dies on you. Then you can up grade it to. Good Luck. Herman

Peter, Go to colawrv.com then click on Salvage RVs. That will take you to a list of all the salvaged RVs with pictures. You may have to go through quite a few pictures to find the unit you want. If you find the unit it will have a stock number on it. Then call them, ask for used parts and tell them what you need. It's like giving chicken soup to a dead person, It may not Help but it Can't Hurt. Herman

Is the cab over part floating free or secured to the roof of the cab? That may help in determining the weight limit. There is an ole adage from the Marine Corp, when faced with a difficult task, "We adjust, adapt and overcome" This is what you need to do not just quit RVing. Come on stick with it, it is a great addition to your life. And then again it is not for everyone. Herman

Allbrite, Welcome to the Forum. Cute truck, nice touch with the "Tonka". Herman

Yes Ross, but with the new system to look up L 26 now you must type it in as L 000026. Got to appeases these computers. Herman

Never had an issue with Blue Ox. Been using them for 16 years. Herman

The drive motor with knob is about $45.00 and the lift arm is $11.00. Just replace both on my bath exhaust fan. Two screws hold the drive motor onto the case. Four screws hold the case cover on. When you drop down the arm is held up with would screws. Remove motor then case cover. Replace lift arm and reverse operation. Motor is splined as is the lift arm. Hope this helps. Herman

This Great Topic was started by seajaycecil@yahoo.com on August 9, 2009. Does anyone have any information on him? Anyway, Thank You Seajay for wonderful Topic. Herman

Thank You For Your Service George! Herman

Congratulations! Herman

Michael, Welcome to the Forum. As Ross asked, are you sure you have a Tank Flush? If you do there should be a hook up or connection to connect a hose to. Herman

Pleas don't quote me but I believe they will be in Lot "B" (Boxelder RV Park) There are 30 and 50 amp full hook ups. Herman

We are here in Gillette and looking forward to a great Convention. If you would still like to get together on Thursday the 19th come to my coach around 5:00 PM. I am located in Lot "A". Front row the only coach with a U.S. Flag and a TEXAS Flag. Sorry there are no site numbers. (Brown and Tan Monaco Dynasty) I will be all over the place as Safety Officer. If you see me please stop and say hello. Look forward to seeing and visited with as many of you as possible. Herman PS: Don't look for the TEXAS Flag, the wind tore it and I had to take it down. Our coach is the 9 (ninth) one on the front row. Bring your chairs.

When signing up for the service you could be assigned a number. It could be your F#. It would take getting all the information one time. When you need assistance the only thing would be to give them your "F" number. Herman
