3 hours ago, manholt said:I had the Tyron installed on my AC 45, they came loose and destroyed my steer tires from the inside...$2,400 for set of 2, made in UK for military vehicles! This looks like the same thing, just from Australia & not UK. They are both made from an Armor company...I made a call to UK, spoke to the Warranty Dept., nope sorry, it's made for the military not camping wagon (their name for motorhomes). Buyer beware & get all the fine print, before you buy!
I noticed in their videos to use loctite and be sure to tighten fully. I bet it's to cover their butts if it came loose. Yep, it will be your fault, not theirs.

When you flush the brake fluid I recommend upgrading to DOT 4 or even better DOT 5.1 but not DOT 5 which is silicone based. These have a higher boiling point than DOT 3 and recommended by many brake manufacturers. DOT 5.1 is used in high-performance and heavy-duty applications due to its high boiling point. It’s compatible with DOT 3 and DOT 4 fluid
There's also certain brake pads recommended for trucks such as semi metallic or carbon metallic but don't used ceramic brake pads on trucks. Follow the link for more information on brake fluid.

2 hours ago, manholt said:Ray, same with the sweeper...both have been around, since the early 1970's...have used them on gas units, never DP's.
The biggest problem with my coach as many is there a rear radiator. The fan there has a tendency to suck rocks into the radiator and damage it. To protect the radiator the manufacture install a belly screen to stop the rocks. What happens is those rocks roll across the screen and come out between the bumper and the factory rock guard with your toad gets blasted. What the "sweeper" do is catch those rocks below the bumper and direct them down to the ground where they belong.
I had the old factory rock guard and it was a big failure and was also like dragging a anchor in the water. If you have a side radiator and good mud flaps behind the rear wheels you don't need either of them. Also neither will protect your toad from getting dirty from rain or dust.

I replaced my coach rock guard with this. Works very good for rocks.

This flexible connector solves all problems at campground sewage connection.

Seems like too much oil with the blue smoke. Check shop manual on checking oil level. Some diesel manufactures want it check at operating temperature after sitting about 10 minutes

Be sure to select AGM at your inverter/charger remote for the house batteries.

I would disconnect the whole cylinder assemble and bench test it before reinstalling. Use new screws with loctite if they are not broken off.

Did you pull radiator and CAC off to clean them. If you can, remove the thermostat and fill the engine with antifreeze until level with thermostat opening then reinstall thermostat. Afterwards fill as much as you can with antifreeze then you have less chance of air pockets.

I don't have one in mine.

We had a Buffalo 10 ton military surplus that started on gas then switch to diesel. That forklift was a beast and we use it mostly lifting wrecked cars by the side and moving where we wanted. It was a WWII item.
Link similar what we had.

most See above statement. Once in use such as a forklift it can be on the side if design to be used that way.

Running the wire, I know on our construction it wouldn't be a simple task. Perhaps a small wire fish tape and see if it will go down the inside of wall to the basement ceiling, might take a helper to see if they can hear it knocking on the basement ceiling.
It's going to take some scoping out as I was thinking going out the wall where factory gen start wiring comes in the compartment, up the frame to area the plumbing goes through the floor. There is a double wall with access panel between the galley and shower so I can attach on that wall and drop the extra in the cavity between the walls. Well that is the plan if I can get to it.

If you look a Joe picture, you will notice that it is being transported in the upright position. When I have any compressed gas delivered to my shop they are always shipped upright. Once in use such as a forklift it can be on the side if design to be used that way.

How do I change the title of this thread to Inverter Charger Now Fixed?

If your getting odd codes that don't relate maybe you have the right connector but the wrong scan gauge for your year, make and model of engine

Got the replacement Auto Generator Start module today. I replace the module out of the kit only and that fixed the problem I was having with the auto start to shut down when finished. I put it through it's initial test and then the active test. It auto start by temperature and shut down when temperature dropped. It's on quiet time now and can auto start again if the batteries are low enough at 7:00 am. I will be testing for a few days to make sure no problems. Right now I only have a 12 fan running on low so may come on tomorrow again for temperature. Then all I have to do is find a good place to run the temperature wire inside the coach. I'm thinking the galley would be best. If anybody got experience running that wire, let me know.

This coach needs a total service of both engine & chassis, DOT info of tires, batteries. Have you added fuel since purchase? The coach has been sitting a lot if it only has 46k miles in 24 years!!! Works on gas, NOT a DP!
I second this.

1 hour ago, Navigator1 said:Yes, and I thought that I was getting a good deal on an rv with less than 46000 miles. The guy was a retired firefighter and he said that he took excellent care of it, maybe the outside. Let's hope it doesn't brake the bank before I can enjoy the darn thing.
BTW, thanks for all the good advice...
Since you just brought your new to you coach before you go on your next major trip, check the dates on the tires. Tires that are 7 years or older are prone to blow outs. On a coach that size it could lead to a accident let alone blow out a fender well.

Any ideas how to fix this or can anyone recommend nice seat covers, I really think this should be covered under warranty?
Any thoughts or comments?
I attached a couple of pictures
I saw worst on a couple of year old Tiffin. Needless to say I walked if this is the quality they put into their coaches.

Warranty is still hard and taking long. Called Everett, WA factory and after the diagnosis of bad unit the agreed to replace it. Took three days to ship not local but from Minnesota and won't get until the middle of next week. At that time I'm supposed to ship the other new unit back to them.
While I'm waiting for all this they are riding a hold on my credit card for $339, way more than I paid for it in the first place. So at this point I'm out of $537 for a auto generator start that don't work.

1 hour ago, SuzanneBreathitt said:Need to replace alt/charge relay on 2004 Monaco Diplomat, but cannot figure out where it goes. Can anyone out there help us with that information. We looked in the fuse panel compartment below driver side window, but did not see a similar relay or marking for relay. Thank you.
In mine it's on the back wall in the battery compartment. It's actually a large continuous duty solenoid.

The front end loader driver is responsible to get it replaced for you.

Thanks for the replies. I called tech support today and we ran some test over the phone. During one test when the module timed off and the generator failed to stop the tech had me jump terminal 6 & 7 and the generator shut off right away. He determining that number 2 relay in the module is not working and I need to replace that new module. I filled a RMA form out and email it back to them. I hope this fixes it as it is frustrating to have something new fail to work. I hope I can get this feature to work like it should as it will run the generator when it really needs to, not when I think it need to. May save some diesel fuel in the long run.

On my 06 I have a disabled switch for the ATC on the console and accidentally switched it off one time. Same thing happen, warning lights came on. I soon figured out later what I did.
