    Factor, older coach slides were built much more robust. You would think Technology would have advanced in a good way, it didn’t. When the economy tanked many manufacturers went belly up, their names were bought up by the big guys. That eliminated competition and they found ways to make things cheaper for increased profits. This is the case with almost everything that builds a current RV. That’s were the quality began to decline was also around 2007.

    Manholt already covered the emissions technology disaster of 2007. 
    I have to agree with Kay, if we had it our way a NO slide coach would be in our driveway now. Before slides manufacturers got good at making things fit for space savings, when slides came along they got careless. Great example, quite a few coaches when closed up you cannot access the bathroom or the kitchen. We pull off quite often to cook a meal and stretch out, bathroom breaks etc. if I had to open my slides to access stuff I wouldn’t have bought this one! I also don’t appreciate banging my head or crawling on my hands and knees to remove items from the basement storage when set up. That’s one reason this coach is only equipped with slides on the drivers side, that also gives me a huge awning to relax under.

    Has anyone had windshield breakage issues? I have a 2008 Tiffin Open Road with a front engine diesel. I have talked to Tiffin on 3 occasions and there are no recalls. But was told it was because of the curved wrap around windshields used back then. I called Freightliner and they had not heard of any issue like mine. I am getting ready to replace the 4th windshield ( the first was 6 years after purchase - now it seems like almost every trip I make). Any tips?

    Which RV handles best in windy weather and 18 wheelers passing you and then pulling over in front of you Motorhome, Pull Trailer or 5th Wheel???
     

    Too many variables!

    Type B, C, A, A-DP, Tag no tag, chassis manufacture is HUGE, probably the largest variable! Tow behinds; Truck manufacture pulling trailer is also HUGE, tire inflation.

    Joe, very tidy and clean, how many tooth brush heads a year?  You missed your calling, you'd make any DI proud.

    Carl, that's old school Monaco attention to detail, I didn't organize it that way. I just wipe it out every so often to keep it clean. All of the electrical boxes are like that and every wire is labeled. That attention to detail sold us that coach, so much we bought a floor plan we didn't want :wacko:. Ironically we have learned to love it regardless of what we thought we had to have.

    Joe, OP said replacement...does that mean something else like the LE?  Or a LE that he has?

    The link is the same unit he is currently using. Sounded like his in inoperative and needs a part. You could convert the system with something else but that would require some wiring alterations as the Monaco design covers all bases.
