  1. I had Barry at Josam's replace the drag link on my previous Windsor back in July of 2017. That is something that I have no desire to tackle so I let the experts, Josam's, do it for me. I will be taking my Dynasty to Josam's sometime this winter to have some HWH Air Leveling leaks taken care of plus have the Borg Dully Stems and Tag Axle Stems replaced. I will have him also check my drag link since my coach is also a 2006.
  2. RV Glass Solutions in conjunction with Coach Glass will give you the very best advice and service with installing your new windshield. Check them out!
  3. My coolant surge tank on my 06 Dynasty is fully accessible which can be filled with a small plastic bottle. Are you saying that your coolant cap is not accessible?
  4. Mike, My 06 Dynasty Countess III has the small amber turn signal mounted to the front bottom of each mirror arm. If you are missing those then is it possible that your 06 Dynasty was built early in the model year or maybe, they just forgot to add them. Makes no sense as my 02 Windsor had the amber turn signal mounted to the front bottom of the original Velvac mirrors that came from the factory. So, I am really surprised that your 06 Dynasty doesn't have them. I removed the Velvac mirror from the Windsor then sold them to a Monacoers member. I then installed Ramco three mirror fully remote and heated with LED turn signals in the middle large mirror plus In-Vue Cameras in the lower small mirror. I actually like the Ramco mirrors far better than the Velvac mirrors.
  5. Pitch it and purchase something reliable. Don't need those headaches every few years.

    Propane

    Sometimes they will deliver right to your site depending on the RV Resort policy. Otherwise, you could install an adapter to your propane line which will allow you to use a smaller portable tank.
  7. Steve, I put together a dedicated step cover air supply kit to supply air to the step cover while parked for 5-6 months at a time when working at our summer Workamping jobs. I installed the compressor over the area in front of the generator. Then tapped into the air supply line that goes to the step cover. I also installed a ball valve to isolate the step cover line from the front air tank when parked. I open it up when we are driving then I turn off the compressor so it won't run.
  8. You need to take a really close look at your toilets. The Black Tank Flush system only works with shore water. It's not hooked up to your water pump at all. Well, at least my Windsor and Dynasty are like that.
  9. Finally had time to look up what water solenoid valve I had purchased for my Auto-Fill Fresh Water Tank System I had built for my Windsor over 10 years ago. I bought it from eBay and it was called - 3/8" ELECTRIC SOLENOID VALVE 12 VOLT DC VITON SEAL (Normally Closed)
  10. I had my driver's side wiper arm shaft on my Dynasty looking not so good, so I removed the arm with a wiper arm removal tool them purchased a Stainless-Steel Fender Washer that fit over the shaft and tightened it down. The covers are probably available at one of the wiper parts vendors listed in the Monacoers Parts List.
  11. Steve, Your best bet is to call the company directly and talk with a technical service person. They may want you to send the unit back to them to figure out exactly what the problem may be causing the excess current draw.
  12. Rob, Back in 2012 I built my own auto fresh tank fill system for my previous 2002 Windsor. I purchased a 12 VDC Water solenoid 1/2 inch which is still working to this day for the new owner. When I get home I will look up where I purchased it from and repost. Seems to me you need to dump what you have and try something that doesn't fail so often.
  13. Foot switch great for temporary engine or exhaust brake ON. Dash switch great for leaving engine or exhaust brake on for whatever length of time.
  14. I don't think you want to purchase a momentary otherwise you will have to hold the switch down by hand to keep the engine brake on. It has to be an ON-OFF switch. The foot switch is a momentary switch, foot on - engine brake on / foot off - engine brake off.
  15. Sorry about the misinformation. I was solely basing my post and information based on the link you had provided. When I clicked on it, below is what it stated. Nothing about an Onan QD Generator nor model HDKAJ. Generator Oil Level Indicator - 123-2051 Designed for Onan Marquis Generators: HGJAB, HGJAC, HGJAA. RV Green Label Parts Reference Guide
  16. Greg, Yes. It's a simple On/Off Carlings Technology Switch. Northwest RV Supply in Eugene OR will have just what you need. Give them a call.
  17. That part number states that it is Designed for Onan Marquis Generators: HGJAB, HGJAC, HGJAA His generator is an Onan QD model HDKAJ, 7500 watts
  18. Here are two sources. Low Priced RV LED Lighting - LED RV Lighting LED Fluorescent Tube Replacements (marinebeam.com)
  19. I try not to drive during winter weather. One early May on our way to Alaska we encountered a snow storm as we climbed elevation after leaving Haines Junction heading to Kulane Lake. Had 6 inches of snow on the road and no where safe to pull off. Towing a 30 foot trailer too. Luckily after about 50 miles we eventually drove out of it. However, if there happened to be a downgrade I would not have been able to stop or even slow down using the brakes in fear of the trailer jack-knifing. Thank God there wasn't any. Bottom line, I will do anything to avoid driving in snow ever again. It was the most nerve-wracking experience while driving my coach.
  20. Rome Truck Parts is where I got parts for my 2006 Dynasty wiper assembly. A quick search would have brought up 44 posts on wiper parts.
  21. Many vendor options listed in the Monaco Parts List. I am posting this on my phone and the list is on my laptop. Sorry.
  22. Until you can replace the dip stick, pour oil in until the error code goes away.
  23. Doug, What you should do is to spray PB Blaster into the arm at the base a number of times over the course of a day or two. While you are doing that, take the bolt that you removed and go to the local hardware store and purchase a 6 inch long one with the same threads and diameter. Once the PB Blaster has done its job, screw the 6-inch bolt all the way into the bottom of the base until it stops. Then take a small hand sledge and tap upwards on the head of the bolt while another person is holding the plastic mirror head. It will pop right out of the base. Then you have to disconnect the harness connectors. Now comes the hard part. That remaining connector may not go through the openings in the coach, etc. You may have to disassemble the connector. It should be a two-piece connector. Now you can remove the mirror head and arm. Then remove the plastic cover that goes over the actual base. The metal base is attached to the curved sides of the coach and should be secured with four bolts two of which you can see in the one photo. Possibly the other two could be lag bolts.
  24. You need to re-read my previous post made on the 5th at 1:08 pm.
  25. That is a Latching Solenoid. To bypass connect all of the LARGE red wires on each side of the Solenoid together effectively bypassing the Solenoid. You'd be hard pressed to find two Monaco coaches alike.
