  1. You most likely won't find one at a salvage yard unless you purchase the entire seat. Have you tried Veurinks RV and Northwest RV Supply? Also there are various RV furniture places located in and around the Indiana and California areas.
  2. Our founder, Bill Duckwitz, always preferred the Areo mufflers and had one on his coach. https://aeroexhaust.com/c-1389194-mufflers.html
  3. Welcome to the world of RV Diesel Pusher ownership!
  4. Thanks everyone for the advice and recommendations. I ended up purchasing the Hadley Ride Height Valve from Amazon for under $50 and the Hadley Linkage Kit HPB450-3 I purchased from an eBay vendor for just under $25. I appreciate the help you guys had posted. My plan is to have Josam's replace the remaining 6 air bags, replace the leaking front Ride Height Valve plus repair any of the leaking HWH solenoid valves with new O-rings when I return for my appointment on March 27th. Next winter I will rebuild the spare HWH 6-Pack Air Manifold that I purchased from Visone RV, then keep that as a spare. If I have additional air leveling issues, I can simply replace the entire unit with the rebuilt one, then take my time refurbishing the leaking one for a backup.
  5. @Ivan K are you sure about the 1/8 inch air lines? The used HWH 6-Pack Air Manifold I purchased from Visone RV had 1/4 inch air lines to bags and 3/8 inch input air lines to the 6-Pack.
  6. Thanks, @Ivan K ,for that information. Does it make sense to order new linkage? Amazon has the H00450CE for under $50 plus it does come with various brackets. Haven't found one with just the valve body at a reasonable price yet. https://tinyurl.com/fhsk3k57 @Twomed OK, that makes sense. I bet that the compression fittings can be removed and the PTC type fittings installed instead. Do you agree?
  7. @Twomed Thanks for that information. The Hadley H00450 comes in a variety of configurations. Is the one that I need for my 06 Dynasty the H00450-CE or is it some other post letter configuration? I don't want to order the wrong one!
  8. Follow-up to my Ride Height Problem. Had an appointment at Josam's last week to address my ride height problem. I am VERY embarrassed and mad at myself for not catching what they had found to be the main problem. It wasn't a Travel Height Solenoid valve that Barry (the service manager) had suggested when I talked with him on the phone. I actually had two air bags on the drive axle with holes in them!!! Holy crap!!! Barry said that all 10 air bags need to be replaced as the rubber has deteriorated down to the reinforcement webbing. They had time to replace the four on the drive axle but I am now making an appointment to have the other 6 air bags replaced plus they found the front ride height valve leaking so that needs to be replaced long with a number of O-rings on the 6-Pack Air Manifolds will need to be replaced. I have a follow-up appointment on March 27th to get the balance of work done. My question for the members here is about the front ride height valve. Does anyone know the correct part number for the ride height valve for a 2006 Monaco Dynasty? Thank you in advance for any help and information you can provide.
  9. Can't help you with that but there are other SilverLeaf owners here who do know how that hopefully will explain.
  10. You have to convert the SilverLeaf code over to a Cummins code.
  11. Ice on toppers is a showstopper! Do not try to force any slide closed with ice on top. Especially if you have the ? mark type arms as I did on our previous Windsor. On a trip to Florida from California back in 2010, we stopped for one of our many overnights in a Texas city. We had a choice of parking under an abandoned service station canopy or out in the huge parking lot somewhere. Well, we made the wrong choice. It rained overnight then a cold front came through and froze all of the rain. Attempted to knock off the ice on the three toppers. Got it off on two of them but the large main slide up front had too much on top. I slowly ran the slide in until it was only 6-8 inches out then stopped. We traveled about 300 miles to San Antonio with the slide in that condition. I was able to keep a close eye on it using my side mirrors. When we got to San Antonio the outside temp was 36F. Stopped in a big shopping plaza and removed the balance of the ice on that slide and closed it completely. We then spent the next two nights in San Antonio with sub freezing weather and rolling blackouts. We didn't get to tour the city or River Walk areas at all. Have to go back sometime to visit.
  12. @GringoScot I hope you saved the wooden door inserts from the NotSoCold for any needs in the future. @jacwjames That image is actually a set of fans that I had built back in 2010 for my 02 Windsor to place in the top of the rooftop exhaust vent to get more airflow in back of the NotSoCold. No Joy, so I had a Samsung RF-197 installed in April 2012, That fridge is still going strong for the new owners of my Windsor. He did have to install a new sensor in the upper fridge compartment a year or two later as the fridge area was not defrosting correctly.
  13. Not always true! My previous Windsor, yes, the Black was 40, the Grey was 60 and the Fresh was 90. However, my 06 Dynasty has 56 gallons each for Black and Grey and the fresh is 100 gallons.
  14. @PTTech Scroll to about halfway down this page then you will notice that they have 4 "extended locations" marked with stars but have over 3000 service locations. https://tinyurl.com/yc3ze7d7 Not sure of the quality of those 3000+ locations because I have read many horror stories with improper windshield installations. I am fortunate to be located within a 2.5 hour drive to one of their premier locations in Lakeland Florida.
  15. Or if the Inverter is on and running without being connected to shore power they will also work if they are 120 VAC Lamps. However, it is my belief that in most cases, Monaco made those 12 VDC Lamps. Is it possible the Lamps have failed?
  16. I don't quite understand the statement above, "has been sitting about 3 to 4 months and not camped in in a couple years." What has it been doing between a couple of years ago when it was last camped in and 3-4 months ago? I would rely more on the Tiffin group for advice as they are the experts versus Monaco owners.
  17. Most places are likely OK with RV Glass and two piece windshields. However, with single glass and single curved glass type windshields there are only a few companies that know how to install those special windshields and what to do to prevent exactly what happened to you. Luckily, I am not that far away from one of the country's premier RV windshield shops, RV Glass Solutions in conjunction with Coach Glass. That is the only place I would have a single one-piece curved windshield installed. Hopefully, they will be able to correct your problem so that it doesn't happen again.
  18. What RV Window Company did you use for replacing the windshield?
  19. Just a follow-up on my post, my new policy becomes effective on Friday, March 1st. Total cost is $899. I had to call Progressive today to cancel my existing policy effective March 1st. We'll, the person on the other end of the phone attempted to persuade me to stay with Progressive allowing her to look for ways to reduce the premium from $2900 to something lower and more affordable. I was adamant that I am done with Progressive because of the way they treat their long term customers by gouging them even when they have never filed any claims, had any accidents or traffic tickets, etc. ever. I am so tired of dealing with these scumbags who all they want to do is rape you over the coals because you are such a good driver and never make any claims. When they should be going after the people who have multiple accidents, collect many traffic tickets, and submit many claims, etc. So as a parting gift, I filed a claim with them to have a new windshield installed next week by RV Glass Solutions in Lakeland FL. End of rant!
  20. Yes, that's the Block Heater. It should be close to the duplex it would have been plugged into if you didn't have the Aqua-Hot. The cord should have been zip-tied and secured in a safe place.
  21. @Mike H No, because I didn't ask for one.
