2008 Monaco Camelot. Just changed the surge tank from the plastic to the metal one. Started up and warning light came on steady. Any suggestions?

desertdeals69 - great feedback! I either knew that it needed to be aired up or I have just been very lucky every time I checked them. I guess I just forgot, but at any rate, thank you. The brake lights work........

Need to make a correction. My Monaco is a 2008 not 2012 (that's my Jeep)!?!?!?!

Not sure where that is or how to tell if it's working. Can you provide any assistance?

Getting ready to leave so checked lights on coach and TOAD. Everything is working on both except brake lights. Neither side is working on coach or TOAD. I've checked all fuses in the left front panel below driver. All fuses are good. I pulled the bulb out of the left brake light socket and put it in the lights socket and it worked. I put a new bulb in the brake light socket. and nothing. There are a couple of relays that mention something about brakes. Could it be a bad relay? Any ideas???

It's fixed. Thanks for all the help, Here is how it was fixed. Background first: found out the entry door magnetic switches that REV and Lippert gave me part numbers for were incorrect. They were contact switches only with no electronic function internal to the switch. That's why the step would extend/retract when door opened/closed, but wouldn't stay out with door closed or retract when ignition was on. Mystery solved. The correct switch for my coach is part# 16622748 Desc: SWITCH DOOR ENTRY .75 MAGNETIC WHITE. As soon as I installed that switch everything worked exactly like it was supposed to.

Is the fuse for the yellow wire in the outside panel below drivers seat or is it inline somewhere?

I replaced the switch. I have checked with Lippert and they were no help. I've checked the ground and it appears to be good. I don't know how there could be a crossed wire. The switch has two wires coming out and I tired them in to the two wires from the harness. Lippert support confirmed that it didn't matter which wire was connected to the wires from the harness which I thought was the case. I did go back and reverse them and it makes no difference. The step has the name coachnet on it. Lippert confirmed that is correct according to my VIN. The motor and controller are Lippert.

I have a 2008 Monaco Camelot with a Coachnet step and control module # 301702. I had to replace the magnetic switch and now the step doesn't work properly. It still expands/retracts when door is opened/closed. However, now it will not remain out when coach is parked and and door is closed. Also, it does not retract when ignition is engaged. Any suggestions?

Well, 4 new batteries and generator starts right up. Thanks to everyone for the help. All of you are great. Ron

Thanks Bill. I'll check that out tomorrow.

It started up after I pushed the battery assist and held start down for about 5 to 10 secs

Just completed the auto start test. It failed. Apparently it tries a couple of times and only about 10 secs each time. (could hear the pump clicking}. then it set the same code 32 and it doesn't try again. I tried to prime and start from the remote switches inside and then on the gen and it still wouldn't start. Next I started the coach and let it run a few minutes. Tried same sequence and nothing. Waited a few mins again and then tried from remote switch and pressed the bat assist. after about 30 secs it started.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Does this give anyone any ideas? It's starting to get hot country again (been up in NW) We have two dogs so really trying to get the auto start working so we can leave them. Ron

Update: I tried to get it started the same way I did yesterday and it would not start. I finally figured out that it was giving me a code 32 so after looking that up I proceeded to check grounds and all terminal connections on the batteries and at the generator. It seemed that some of the connections were possibly a slight bit loose. I cleaned both connections to the gen. I then tried to start it. It didn't start right up so I primed it again for about 5 sec and it started. Mama is washing right now so when she's done I'm going to try to cut shore power and see if the auto start works. My meter reading at the gen while trying to start it the first time today went to 12.3. I'm thinking I may still have a issue with batteries. Probably will replace all of them since I don't know how old they are. No indications to when they were installed. I'll post the results of the auto start test later. Thanks for everyone's help. Ron

I can hear what I think is fuel pump clicking but gen not turning at all. I did the priming and then held start side down. It continued to click for about 15 sec and then started. Is there a separate fuel pump for the gen? Does gen start off house batteries? Could it be some dirty fuel and would some Seafoam cleaner help? 2008 Monaco. Onan Quiet Diesel 10KW with 1335 hrs TIA Ron

I have a Onan 10KW gen. It has been starting immediately until yesterday. Tried to start it from inside and it would not start. Went to gen and tried starting from there. I could hear it clicking but not even trying to start. After several tries with just clicking all of a sudden it started. Later in the evening we lost power and gen was set to come on but it didn't start. I have just over a half tank of diesel and filters were changed in May. Any ideas where to start?

Thanks for the replies. I knew that all diesel was supposed to be ulsd by 2010 but this caught me by surprise. Every pump I've been to up until now has always stated ULSD and give % of sulfer, bio, etc......... These pumps have absolutely nothing on them except Diesel #2 or Diesel #1 (Red). Carl, I agree, it should say something about % of bio or something, but there is noting on these pumps at all. I've stopped at 5 different locations coming up the 101 and all are the same. I know I definitely need to stay away from Diesel #1 (Red). Thinking I might just put a little in until I get to Oregon and see if it is different there. Really threw me for a loop when I asked several people about it and they never heard of ULSD. Thanks again for the responses. Ron

We are currently travelling the 101 in Northern CA. I filled up in Redding, CA and had no problem finding diesel that was marked Ultra Low Sulfur. We''ve been on the 101 now from Myers Flat up to Crescent City and the only diesel fuel says Diesel #2. Our 2008 Monaco emphasizes ULS diesel ONLY. I have stopped at two location to ask if Diesel #2 is ULSD and neither one of them know what I was talking about.............. so does anyone know if Diesel #2 is in fact ULSD or not and what I do if it is not. I can't believe, giving the number of Diesel Motorhomes we are seeing that no one else is having this question. I know there are other coaches that are required to use ULSD.. Need to fill up soon.............. HELP. TIA, Ron

Thanks to all of you for the great information

Bill, I did a search and didn't find an acid resistant paint. Do you know where I might be able to find it Thanks, Ron

Thanks for all the replays. I did clean it with baking soda but may not have gotten all of it since I was in a hurry. I agree that I need to clean and paint the tray. About the possible problem with charging. Herman, where do I check the voltage at - the batteries? My EMS shows floating charge most of the time and 13.3 or 13.4 volts. I called Monaco some time back and was told that was working correctly. With that info, do you still think it is a charging problem? Tom, I think I'll try cleaning and reprinting tray. If it continues after that, I may look into the AGM batteries. Where did you get yours? I'm also going to get someone to check the charging system to make sure there is no problem there. Thank you guys very much. If you think of anything else or can answer my questions in this post I would appreciate a reply Ron

I have a 2008 Monaco Camelot. I have noticed that there is recurring acid buildup in the same area below the house batteries. I clean it off and it returns. My batteries are not losing water. I've added a small amount once in the last 5 months. They are holding a charge. I'm attaching a picture to show the buildup area. Any ideas???? TIA Ron

Thanks for the suggestions. I have 12 of these lights and the only one giving me problems is one of the 4 on the same switch. I'll pull the socket and check the spring. Any other possibilities?

The bulbs are #1383 Miniature Reflector Light Bulbs, 20-Watt 13V BA15S Lamps

I have a 08 Monaco Camelot. One set of 4 recessed 12V lights in kitchen are having problems. I pulled all 4 and checked connections a volt meter shows everything normal. A couple of them were blinking and eventually the bulb would go out. They worked for a couple of months after that and then one of the bulbs went out again, but not blinking first. I replaced the bulb and the next day it was out. Meter still reads good. Any ideas????
