In Flagler Beach, regular was $3.29 and diesel was $5.29 last time I checked.

Plenty of diesel in Florida. No problems finding diesel 2 weeks ago driving from New Hampshire to Florida.

Chuck, big differencs between winterizing a standard RV hot water system and an Aqua-Hot system. The Aqua-Hot has multiple loops of a copper coil either on the outside or the inside of the boiler tank. Using just air for winterizing an Aqua-Hot is not recommended by the company in Colorado. It would be very difficult to remove all of the water from all of those loops with just air. Very expensive to replace a leaking Aqua-Hot system that ruptured because of water remaining in the loops during the winter. If you don't want to winterize an Aqua-Hot properly then your next best bet is to head south for the winter where the temperature seldom gets to the freezing level.

The one that was installed in my previous Windsor was exactly like what this Amazon link shows. https://tinyurl.com/yuvmnv9r Our current Dynasty doesn't have a freshwater Gravity Fill option.

That means that either the coach is leaning to the driver's side, or they installed the gravity fill opening too low.

No maintenance whatsoever on that overflow water line.

Well now I am TOTALLY confused! I never seen a drain line coming out of the TOP of a freshwater tank unless I am misunderstanding the photo that you posted. The very first photo that you posted with the RED arrow certainly appears to be the top of your freshwater tank and not the bottom. Plus, I don't see any shutoff valve in the photo. One of us is confused!

I finally counted how many I would need of each side. I need 9 for the left side of the coach and 11 for the right side of the coach. Thanks!

I stand by my original thought. Once the tank is full the excess water will flow out the top through that line and down to the ground. The end of the tube has a rubber bug protector which will keep Mud Daubers from building a nest inside the tube. If that were to happen, it would prevent the tube from breathing allowing air to escape as you fill the tank plus allow the water to flow out of the tank. You didn't post a photo of what you are calling the freshwater tank overflow line.

Must be ether the installation tech was colorblind, or they may have run out of Blue PEX for the backflush water system. 😇

First question - line coming out of the top of the white freshwater tank is your overflow line. it allows excess water to flow out when you overfill the tank. Second question - the line feeding the black water tank is your Black Water Tank Back Flushing System. There should be a location in your service bay where you can hook a hose up and back flush the black water tank. Can't help you with your disconnect question. The last photo shows what is typically called a Vacuum Backflow Valve. Not sure why it would be hooked to HOT water (red pex). They are typically used for the Black Tank Back Flush System.

Nope, haven't done any troubleshooting as yet. This winter I will have time to pull the steering wheel and test the ends of the clock-spring to make sure that it has continuity on each of the four wires.

I would be interested in obtaining some left and right ones also. Below is a link to the Winnebago Parts catalog where on page 136 it shows the two part numbers for the right and left hand Weep Hole Covers. APPLIANCES 07:APPLIANCES 03 (winnebagoparts.com) However, when you do a search for the part number it comes up with nothing.

Garland, That has happened to me only once with our NTU 2006 Dynasty when I went to retract the front dropdown floor-level driver's side slide while it was sitting in my driveway. This was shortly after getting it home from Salt Lake City where we had just purchased the coach. I was shocked to say the least and immediately stopped and reversed the slide back out completely. Then went outside to inspect the complete exterior and went back inside and inspected the entire inside. Couldn't find anything that would have made that happen. I then hit the hydraulic button again watching the slide carefully and the slide came in normally. That slide has been in and out numerous times ever since that day early in March and has never happened again. However, I am diligent in observing the slide movement whenever I am retracting that specific slide. The two slides in the rear are your standard flat straight sliding slide which are also hydraulic and have never had any problems with them going in or out.

just received the stems in the mail yesterday. Won't be installing the ones on the tag axle until I have the steer tires installed this winter sometime. I will post a photo once they are installed. As stated above, the dually stems won't be installed until early next year during the winter here in Florida. Once installed I will post a photo for you or maybe someone else that already has a set of dually stems installed will post a photo for you.

Tom, I am not experiencing any abrupt transmission down shifting when using the engine brake. To reiterate what I am experiencing, if the speed of my coach is 64 mph or higher then the engine brake is not so effective as it is when the speed of the coach is at 63 mph or lower. If I happen to be traveling down a grade at a speed higher than 63 I don't feel much of a speed change even with the engine brake set to high. However, once the speed of the coach reaches 63 mph there is a VERY definite change in the amount of braking at the high setting plus I can hear a change in the sound of the engine.

Tom, I am gathering from some members posts here that there Monaco coaches with ISL-400 engines that have only an Exhaust Brake and not a 2-stage Engine brake? Is that correct?

Purchased our current 06 Dynasty last February. Flew to Salt Lake City to drive it home the beginning of March. Brought a Pressure Pro TPMS with me for the 3000-mile drive back to Florida. I had the shop in SLC install solid extenders on the inside duals as there were none which would have made it impossible to install any sensor on the valve stem. As posted previously last springtime, when installing the TPMS sensors I immediately had problems with the extenders but managed to get back to Florida without any tire pressure problems. Our trip from New Hampshire to Florida this month I had one inside dual tire leaking air slightly which required me to pump it up each morning before getting on the road. Once home I called the Borg shop in Tujunga CA to order a set of their Dually Valve Extenders. I also had them send valve stems for the tag axle as those are pointed in the wrong direction making it a real PITA to check air, install air and deal with the tire sensor. 3 days later I had them in my hands. Josam's installed new front tires and valves stems back in April of this year. The only difference is those are not polished chrome like the ones from Borg. Great people to deal with and very helpful too. Bottomline, I absolutely hate ANY valve stem extensions as they are an accident waiting to happen. I HIGHLY recommend Borg Dually Valves Stems to everyone on this forum. By the way, I had them installed on my previous Windsor back in 2010 when I had 6 new tires installed prior to leaving CA and Full-Time traveling. Not one problem in the following 12 years I owned the coach. Your Tire Shop Supply | Supplies for Tire Shops

Some water fill valves are made by Swan industries. After years of service, they have a tendency to leak or like the one in my previous Windsor no longer move the diverter ball inside. Their replacement is in the link that I posted below. WSV150ST - Quick Water Fill – Swan Industries Inc There are tons of 3-way valves available on the Internet. Finding an exact one will be a challenge but maybe you can find one even if the handle isn't exactly like what you have now. I would also call Swan Industries directly as they may have just a valve replacement part available. Swan Industries Inc

Carey & Dan, My previous Windsor has an Exhaust Brake, and the original owner had the ECM flashed so that the Cruise Control could be utilized while having the Exhaust brake Switch in the ON position. Not sure about the Dynasty with its Engine Brake as I am still in the troubleshooting mode with the VIP SM210 control module to see whether it has failed or whether something else is causing the problem.

I would remove the damaged cover and replace it with a Maxxair Maxx II Vent Cover or one that Mike has posted in his post above. https://tinyurl.com/2rk6cu2c i have one of these over my Fantastic Fan on our Dynasty. Mitchell, I am only a few blocks away from Gamble Rogers State Park in Flagler Beach. If you need any assistance with this just send me a PM.

Not as long as I have my foot on the fuel treadle even if it is lightly sitting there. If I remove my foot completely that's when the Allison display changes to 2nd gear and the coach starts to reduce speed. I use the same procedure as I did with the Windsor and its Exhaust Brake. However, BIG differences obviously between the two.

On my next trip back to New Hampshire in the spring I will leave the engine brake switch off unless I am traversing a grade to see if my mpg increases like you state. No cruise control yet until I replace the SM-210 control module. I have found that anything 64 mph and over the engine brake has very little affect until the speed reaches 63 then the coach starts to slow down quickly as you can hear a definite change in the sound and the coach actually feels like I had used the service brakes.

Hi Steve, I am using the data from the SilverLeaf to obtain my mpg because both the generator and Aqua-Hot use diesel from the same tank. So, I have no way to calculate accurately how much gets used by those two devices versus just the engine using the number of gallons pumped divided by the miles driven. My cruise control is non-functional right now. So, I can't use it. It will turn on, but the SET and RES buttons will not work to set the cruise control speed. Hopefully it is an easy fix by replacing the SM210 control box someday when they become readily available. Had the same problem with the CC on the Windsor but could never find a new control box to install before it got sold.

I have owned this 2006 Dynasty with a Cummins ISL-400 since last February and have driven it for over 6000 miles now which includes a trip from Salt Lake City Utah to Florida and then up to New Hampshire and back to Florida recently over a wide variety of terrain, etc. I am very impressed with its power and performance especially the two-stage engine brake. i have found that the engines "sweet spot" is around 54-55 mph where it is running at about 1420 rpm and in 6th gear. It will actually stay in 6th gear while dropping mph until it reaches about 53 where the Allsion will kick down to 5th gear. So now my normal highway travel speeds stay around 55-60 mph. Whereas, the Windsor with a Cummins ISC-350 had a sweet spot of 62 mph. When running 55 on mostly level terrain as in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida I was getting over 9 mpg towing loaded coach and towing my car. That drops to about 7.5 when the terrain starts having rolling hills. Then when in mountainous terrain the mpg drops to just under 7 mpg. My previous Windsor would average between 8-9.5 mpg when driving the very same roads. What has impressed me the most is the two-stage engine brake as compared to the PRXB Exhaust Brake in my previous Windsor. I leave the engine brake switch on all of the time and the Hi/Lo switch in the high position. If the High is too much, then I reach over and switch it to Low and then back to High when finished. If anyone has driven on I-77 from I-81 down through Charlotte and Columbia SC you are very familiar with the Fancy Gap area which includes a 4.5% grade that is 7 miles long. Just before I crested the top of the grade, I made sure my speed was under 63 mph as that's where the engine brake really starts to perform well. Anything above that, not so much. Then for 7 miles I never had to touch the service brakes once. I simply toggled between the High & Low settings to control the speed of the coach keeping it between 55 & 60 mph. It was a real pleasure descending that grade with the Dynasty versus the Windsor. What have others with a Cummins ISL- 400 discovered while driving your coaches?
