  1. Check with Northwest RV Supply. I got tired of replacing them so I removed the blown incandescent lamp and replaced it with an LED lamp. Then added a resistor to lower the voltage.
  2. Jim, thanks for the explanation. The reason this thread was important to me is because the secondary filter on the ISL-400 that I now have in my Dynasty is basically way TOO difficult to reach by any normal human without getting drenched in diesel fuel and also not being able to see what you are doing. I haven't changed the filters yet, but they will be due later this spring. I am NOT going to do it myself and will gladly pay a service shop to do my engine service this year. If by installing the two filter FASS Fuel Polishing System will totally eliminate the unreachable secondary filter, then that would accomplish my goal. The primary is VERY accessible so that could stay possibly. I am more interested in eliminating the secondary fuel filter.
  3. I assume that you rerouted the fuel hoses that went to the original primary and secondary fuel filters eliminating those two locations, is that correct?
  4. As Bill suggested it could be your Clock-spring inside the steering wheel cover OR it could be the VIP Control Module.
  5. So are the two factory filters that came with the engine completely bypassed and blocked off from the fuel delivery system?
  6. Gary, You need to post exactly what devices you are referring to, make and model numbers. Then we can post a better answer to your question as people call some devices generically "surge guard's" when actually they may be totally different and compatible. Here is my experience. My 06 Dynasty original came with a Surge Guard model that talked with the Aladdin System which is now obsolete. The replacement model Surge Guard is 40450 which does talk with the Aladdin System is very expensive. The previous owner replaced the original transfer switch with a cheaper Surge Guard before I purchased it last year. The model that is in my coach now is Surge Guard 41260 with limited shore power protection. So, instead of changing out a perfectly good transfer switch, I installed the Progressive Industries EMS-HW-50C in front of the Surge Guard. I now have total shore power protection plus additional protection from the Surge Guard Transfer Switch. Works perfectly without any problems.
  7. I would also be interested if anyone finds a way to accomplish this task. After having an ISC-350 for 18+ years in my previous Windsor with both filters starring you in the face, I had to look all over for the secondary filter on my 06 Dynasty ISL-400. Frank McElroy had to give me it's location which I still have not put my eyes on it as yet. Every time I need to crawl under the coach my body says, "why are you trying to do that"? What a royal PITA!
  8. Those are called In-Vue camera system by Ramco.
  9. Can't help you with installing the reel as I have never been fond of using electric reels versus using the Glendinning Cablemaster Accumulator for the 50-amp electric cord. However, I do have some suggestions though when using the reel. Always unwind most if not all of the cord even though you may not need it all to reach the shore power outlet. Plus, try not to use the same stopping point on the reel when unwinding the cord otherwise you may end up with problems with the rotating surface contacts on the slip rings. Many members here have had to repair or rebuild their reels due to poor electric conductivity through the slip rings. (edited to delete triple posting of the above)
  10. Myron, I have tried the dipole antenna in many locations without success inside the coach. If the dipole needs to be run on the outside of the coach, then I am back to my original question and might as well install the 35-foot extension that I have purchased. I don't like to hang stuff out a window while traveling. When sitting in one location I have done that in the past on my Airstream motorhome but not on my Windsor or Dynasty. That little antenna worked just fine with my Tire Safeguard TPMS, that's why I gave it a try with the Pressure Pro TPMS. BTW, all of the PP TPMS sensors have permanent internal nonreplaceable batteries. I forgot to include that info in my last post.
  11. Myron, The PP was purchased new earlier this year prior to flying to Salt Lake City to pick up our Dynasty. I will NOT drive any vehicle that I own unless it has a working TMPS. I used the right front tire on my previous Windsor to program each of the sensors based on the PP instructions in the manual BEFORE leaving for SLC. I had previously labeled each sensor as to their specific location. Once in SLC, I installed the PP TPMS and off we went on our 2700-mile trip back to Florida. Within the first 100 miles or so I had one sensor on the tag that occasionally dropped the signal. Called the company the next day and he said that chances are I needed to have the antenna extension. I tried swapping the right front with the tag to check whether it was a bad sensor or not with no joy. On the 10-day trip there were a variety of different sensors where I would occasionally lose the signal then it would come back. Our next trip was to New Hampshire in May and then back to Florida in October towing our car. Again, there were various sensors that would drop the signal then return sometime later. I called the company again after I returned to Florida asking about their repeater that was in development based on a member's previous post regarding the repeater. They stated that it has NOT been approved and still has some unreliability issues. They stated at the time that the 35-foot antenna extension would be better than any repeater if mounted correctly under the coach with the end antenna hanging down such that each sensor would have a direct line of sight with the antenna including the towed car. So, I ordered the antenna and now ready to install it as I hate driving with temporarily dropped signals. Had that happen WAY too many times when I had my very first TPMS called Doran. On my very last trip with the Doran TPMS, I had 5 of the 10 sensors not reporting. That's when I removed the POS from my Windsor and sold it on eBay then purchased the Tire SafeGuard TPMS. That system was very reliable for the10 years I had owned it and left it on the Windsor when I sold it last April. I tried to purchase the Tire SafeGuard TPMS for the Dynasty but was told that the TPMS was now obsolete and no longer available. WRT the antennas that I have tried, the first one shown in the photo was from the Tire SafeGuard TPMS. I also tried a longer 18-inch antenna that I had laying around and finally I installed the 8-foot Di-pole antenna that came with the PP TPMS. None of them gave me a trouble-free experience. Here is the link to the Pressure Pro Pulse TPMS with photos. Pulse TPMS Monitor - Tire Pressure Monitor Here is the link to the 8-foot Di-pole antenna that came with the package. Pulse Dipole Antenna - Tire Pressure Monitor Here is the link to the 35-foot PP antenna extension. Cabled Antenna (SMA) Kit - Tire Pressure Monitor Here is the link to the accessories page. Accessories Archives - Tire Pressure Monitor Hopefully I have answered all of your questions.
  12. Myron, Here is the manual plus two photos of my PP Pulse Control Monitor. It came with a 10-foot Di-Pole Antenna which is basically as useless as the small antenna I tried that is in the photos. I also tried an 18-inch antenna I had laying around that I had used on one of my old Internet devices. No Joy. I have an old repeater from the discontinued Tire SafeGuard TPMS and a PP repeater that I had purchased thinking that I could purchase the PP Legacy TPMS which I could not. Neither of those work with the PP Pulse TPMS. Hence, installing the 35-foot PP antenna extension was my only option according to the Pressure Pro Tech person I spoke with about the problem. He stated that once the antenna is mounted under the coach facing down, the antenna with have a direct line of sight with all sensors including the tow vehicle sensors. I do tow a 2006 Saturn Vue when traveling. However, even on my trip from Salt Lake City to Florida when we brought the coach home after purchasing it, I was losing signals constantly on that 2700-mile trip without towing anything. Currently, not a happy camper with the Pressure Pro TPMS until I can get signal reliability. Never had this problem before while using the Tire SafeGuard TPMS for the past 10 years with my Windsor towing a 30-foot trailer or my car. PULSE-Users-Manual-01.09.18.pdf
  13. Ron, thanks for posting however you have the old discontinued Legacy model of PP. I purchased the PP Pulse model that comes with a new style display. They don't offer a dependable repeater as yet plus they stated that the antenna extension is the best method for eliminating drop signals.
  14. Myron, I will get underneath this weekend to take a closer look at any possible openings near the steering column where I could run this cable up into the driver's area. Thanks for the suggestions and warnings. Tom, I will also check the firewall near the driver's area to see if there might be and access there for the cable to go through. Jim, unfortunately my current Dynasty is much different than my previous Windsor WRT to the way it was put together. The Windsor had plenty of easy access in the areas around the cockpit.
  15. Yes, they said that others have found the easiest access was the steering column. My Windsor did not have this heavy rubber boot so there was some daylight in that area but not so with the Dynasty. I don't have the Legacy PP system that you have. They discontinued that model some time ago.
  16. I purchased the 35-foot Pressure Pro antenna extension to eliminate losing signals on my 12 sensors while traveling. I would like to run the cable down through the base of the steering wheel area, but it appears to have a thick rubber boot that seals that area from the outside. What have others done who have installed the same antenna extension to their Pressure Pro Pulse TPMS?
  17. The hydraulic filters that I had purchased for my previous Windsor were Nelson 84101B. Three stacked on top of each other.
  18. In our previous 02 Windsor, I took out the recessed Atwood 3-burner cooktop and installed a far better Seward Princess Gormet 2-burner cooktop. Had to have the recessed opening routed out a little larger for it to fit into the recessed opening. I made this decision after seeing Fred Whites (RIP) cooktop in his Windsor. My wife liked the upgrade very much. Our now 06 Dynasty came with a Tru-Induction cooktop which is just OK. She is getting used to it but really prefers the LPG stove over the Induction. Luckily, we had cookware that was induction approved.
  19. Dick R, You have come to the very BEST place on the Internet for HELP and information. Just remember that there is no STUPID question so when in doubt just ask. Once you get used to the forum and how it operates you can use the search function to read about many problems and solutions that have been covered previously. I would also strongly suggest downloading the Monacoers Parts List to your local device so it will be handy when you don't have a good Internet connection. You won't find any snarky remarks here like you will in other forums and if there are they are dealt with quickly. We are here to learn and help our members so we can enjoy our Monaco coaches for many years to come. There is also a yearly Gathering held at Lazy Days every February which is a "must do" especially for newbies. The 2023 one will be February 14th through the 19th. You can read about it here.
  20. 15 minutes after changing fuel filters pretty much rules out air in the filters unless one is not sealed completely however, you stated there were no leaks. Lift pump only runs and is useful for starting the engine only. Once the engine starts the engine fuel injection pump takes over be it a CAPS or the Common Rail system depending on what your engine has. it appears that more troubleshooting is needed to isolate the problem.
  21. Don, How long did the engine run AFTER you changed out the fuel filters?
  22. If the handle and rod are completely detached from the blade of the dump valve, then your only alternative is to find a Septic Service that will come out and attempt to pump out the black tank through the opening in the toilet. Or, you would have to build some sort of container with a spout for under the waste pipes that would funnel the waste out of the bay into another container on the ground where the septic service could suck up the waste into their truck. Once you have all of that in position then disassemble the valves and let the waste flow.
