    Hi BluKat ,

    I've got a 2012 Monaco Monarch 36 SFD that is beginning to also have hydrallic lines leaking. I just wanted to know did you ever get all the lengths of the lines that you needed replaced ?

    I could use that information because I have to replace all of mine on my 2012 36 SFD Monaco Monarch. I would think that your RV and mine would be the same only a year apart.

    You could text me if you want at 609-501-4959

    Thanks,

    Bob

    I just purchased a 2014 GMC Sierra 4x4 crew cab with the Z71 option as well.

    However, I did a little research prior to my purchase and found the attached service bulletin which addresses the dinghy tow ability of this new model truck. This bulletin was found on the GMC truck website under the customer service tab. I also had my dealer service department do some research for me as well and they generated a option build sheet for my truck and a newer version of the service bulletin for me.

    You are correct the battery must be disconnected and the keys must remain in the ignition accessory mode before you can flat tow this vehicle.

    It was much easier process with my 2007 GMC Canyon 4x4 Z71 truck just put in neutral and go![attachment=849:2014 GMC Dinghy Towing Service Bulletin.

    I too am disappointed but I knew there was a change in the system in 2014 prior to my purchase.

    Pricer,

    I just bought a 2014 GMC 4x4 Sierra Dbl Cab w/ Z71 option and would like to tow using a tow dolly, do you know if this can be done ??

    I have a 2012 Monaco Monarch 36 SFD that I purchased 1/31/13 new. Since that time I have had a problem with the hydraulic lines leaking, not at the fittings or connections but the black rubber or plastic covering of the line itself. I have notice that after being set-up on campsite for a day or two that if I check to see if I'm still level the panel will show me not level. So I think that I'm losing pressure through the line sheath, The lines don't drip with oil, they are wet with to the touch.

    The part number and manufacturing date on lines are P/N 248653 Date 09/12/2010.

    I don't know if your problem could be related to the lines , but I thought I would add my issue to the discussion to see if anyone has heard of it.

    I'm going to be talking to Monaco and Lippert about this this week.

    Here's what I did when I had a jack problem. I had HWH jacks on my 2000 Winnebago. I had one rear jack that would not go down, so I first identified the four solenoids to each jack, then plugged in the working jack solenoid to the non working jack and was able to prove that the trouble was with the solenoid and not the actual jack it's self, because after doing so the jack that did not go down earlier, now went down.

    I hope that I did not confuse you to much, but it did work for me with trouble shooting my HWH jacks.

    Good Luck, Bob

    Thanks for the reply. Any info that I can get is going to be very useful. I just talked to the service dept at the dealership where I am buying this MH at and they told me that they feel that the screws for the ladder flanges are either to short ,broken or missing.

    They assured me that they are going to make it right.

    Fortunately I have friends that have bought motorhomes from this dealership and they say they are trust-worthy.

    Thanks again for the help.

    The only thing that I see that is a potential trouble on this MH ( Monaco Monarch 36SFD ) is that the ladder roof flanges are attached to a very soft spot on the roof. The ladder actually makes the rear roof cap flex when climbing up the ladder. Being that you own a MH made the same year and manufacturer, do you have any like issues ??
