I replaced the rear view camera today and got a pleasant surprise. When I replace the old Weldex B&W CRT monitor with a color LCD I expected to still see B&W from the rear and side cameras. Imagine my surprise when I received color images from the cameras. I can't figure out why the builders install color cameras and B&W monitor. I don't think the builders saved much.

Well when it rains it pours. Coach is almost ready to show off and the monitor will have a dark screen at times. All other times it works great. It is a Weldex three camera monitor with Aladdin system feeding the six pin connector in the rear of the monitor. It has two other connectors for the turn signals cameras that are not hooked to the monitor. The Aladdin system shows engine/trans, electrical data as well as turn signals and motorized rear camera with sound. I remove the monitor and the Aladdin module and checked if they are getting enough voltage. Voltage checked out fine and all connection look clean. After I put everything back together the monitor stayed dark for about 30 minutes then came on and worked perfect. This morning everything came on fine but I can get it to act up if I turn it off then back on. Took about 5 tries before the screen would stay dark. The big question remains is is it the Weldex monitor or the Aladdin system. I did noticed when the monitor was working that if I manually switch away to a camera not plugged in the screen would be dark. So it appears that if no data will give dark screen. Has anyone experienced problem like this with the Weldex/Aladdin system? Would it be worth it to open up the monitor and look inside. If so what would I be looking for?

I attended a tire seminar in Redmond. OR this year and I remember it being stressed to get a tire pressure monitor for the coach and toad. I did so before leaving the reunion and was quite disturbed by the operation of them. These have sensors that screws on the end of the valve stems and transmit to a receiver kept in the coach. I didn't have the toad with me at the time so I only installed the sensors on the coach. Tire are Michelin 275/70R22.5 XZA2 Energy with about 7,000 miles on them and less than a year old. The first thing I noticed is that reading from all the senors on the monitor itself is reading 5 lbs too high. I verified it with two known good tire gauges. The second thing I noticed is the temperature started out normal but didn't raise much while driving. When I stopped at a rest stop in Washington then the temperature raised about 10 degrees in about five minutes. I wonder how in the world are these sensors supposed to get internal tire temperature if it is spinning around on the stem on the outside of the rim? Maybe there should be a seminar on tire monitors so it could be explained what a misfit add on are. Nothing like the tire monitors that comes with the vehicles today. Hopefully for me it's not $410.00 wasted.

Own Prevost with Flat Panel monitor in front. Any ideas where subwoofer is located? front speakers are not working and believe it may be connection issue. Also, how do we release the monitor as we can't find a way to access behind the monitor? Thank you.
