Richard my wife and I are going to the Monacoers Gathering in February. We will be coming from the Houston area. and will be taking Interstate 10. That will put us vert close to Pass Christian Mississippi. If you still need someone to help I would be willing to make the stop to help. You may not remember me but you were the first Monacoer to provide me with help when I first got my Camelot. If you still need the help please let me know... Dave Elsner 2004 Camelot PST Reno NV

Bill D's Monacoers' Gathering Update!!
dlelsner replied to Scotty Hutto's topic in General Motorhome Discussion
Scotty, should I be concerned? I registered today and was quoted $494.13/. Paid 1/2 down and it is for our 2022 gathering. They have sent me a cost break down. The one thing I quest is the quote for meals @ $11.48 totaling $153.00. I assume this is for the breakfast suggested in the Monacores flyer. Please confirm I have the correct pricing etc... Thanks Dave Elsner Reno NV. 2004 Camelot PST 40' -

Monaco Floor Plan Coding System

Scotty, This is a very interesting list, but seem to be incomplete. I own a 2004 Monaco Camelot PST. 40 foot. It is a triple slide with the driver side having two slides. The deep slide is the the first slide on the drivers side. The bedroom slide is also on the driver side. No large window above the bed headboard but a large window/escape on the fixed side. The center section (no slide) has the shower and vanity with the toilet room on the other side (drivers side). The front passenger slide has the kitchen counter microwave cooktop and sink and a sofa just behind the passenger seat. Any ideas as to why this model is not listed? Dave Elsner Reno, NV -

Leak behind shower at faucet connections: access to fix?
dlelsner replied to jreich888's topic in Water Systems
I have a 2004 Camelot PST,. I had a PEX fitting break where the shower wand hose comes out into the shower area. The point where it broke was at the nylon thread fitting, the reason it broke was because Monaco dressed the PEX line with a p-trap at the bottom. This created a water pocket that could not drain out from the shower hose. Had a freeze one night when not at home and it froze that trap causing the fitting to break. After a great deal of looking at the problem I concluded the only fix was to remove the shower and repair from behind it. That meant removing vanity cabinet and the shower enclosure. I can tell you it can be done but it is a lot of work, I did it myself so I know. When I replumbed the line I made it so the line from the faucet to the shower wand did not have a trap in it, just a straight drop. I can tell you that if you need to do such a repair you will need to get fittings to also reconnect the drain from the shower to the gray tank. In all it took me about a week of work and I would not want to do it again. To the idea of accessing the back of the shower faucet thru the wall it might be doable but will also cause a lot of damage to the cabinet. The panel between the shower and cabinet is one piece of plywood. I did this job about a year ago and unfortunately I was not smart enough to have taken pictures. Good Luck with your fix... -
I converted to induction about a year ago works great. Had a local cabinet shop patch in the counter top. We can even remove the cooktop to use it out side.

I have been doing this job now for a couple of weeks. Not because it is hard but because I am not in any rush and work only when it is hot enough to heat up the front of the Camelot. What I found that works real good and does not hurt the paint is of all things "GOO GONE". First I peal off the film with a plastic razor blade. Then spray GOO GONE over the glue from the film. Let it sit for a few minutes then scrap off the gooey stuff. Finally I spray it again the GOO GONE and wipe the paint with a Microfiber towel. It is not hard work just time consuming.

Dennis, may I ask the name of the Sacramento repair shop that did this poor work for you. I ask because I also had an experience in Sacramento. Was wondering if it was the same shop. (A well know shop that has an office/sales/repair shop in Grass Valley CA.) Dave Elsner Reno NV

Scotty, I removed the heater that was under the old not so cold when I installed the new counter depth frig. It was really quite easy. The heater came out through the outside panel heater door. The duct work had to be capped off when I removed the false floor that held the Not-so-cold. I just installed small covers over the duct ports in the floor. On the outside I removed panel door for the heater and reinstalled it as it was on the outside. I plugged the feed LPG line and pressure tested the cap for leaks before locating in under the floor. I used the 120 electric supplied to the Not-so-cold for a power line for the new frig. The removal was a good thing to do as it lowered the frig so my wife could reach everywhere inside. We have not missed the heater which as Bob noted did supply heat to the rear outlets of the Camelot.

I did this replacement about 2 years ago. Biggest problem I had was getting power to the area. What I did was to run a new cable behind the cabinets, under the shower and bath sink into the back bedroom under the cabinets there then into the cabinet where the washer/dryer would have been. I then plugged into the outlet prewired for the W/D. Was a lot of work but worth it! We love Induction. as we also have it in our home. The counter was fixed by adding new pieces of the same type material. then I had a cabinet shop glue it all together.

Intellitec Big Boy Battery Disconnect Relay 200 Amp
dlelsner replied to dlelsner's topic in Electrical Systems
Found the problem! The Salesman switch relay was bad. It had failed in the open position. I had ordered a replacement, but when I saw the pictures and post by Gary Mathis on this forum (thank you Gary). I removed the bad relay. I will return the replacement relay to Amazon . That saves $77.47 and any future problems with that "F"ing switch!
