Hi Becky, I am glad the new controller fixed your problem. Paul

Thx Jim, There was a box in a top shelf on a door, and the flap was under the door seal. Removed that and will monitor some more. Paul

Back to not right today. Pulled the cover off the evaporator and it was all iced up and the drain hole had ice in it. Used a hairdryer to clear the drain hole and melt the ice. Power cycled it and waiting to see if it starts to cool. Paul

Hi Kevin, I am glad you got to take your trip! Paul

Back to normal this morning. It likely power reset when we shut off the generator. I’ll keep an eye on it.

Our RF 197 has worked great for the four years we have owned it. For the last few days the freezer has worked great at -2, but the fridge is set at 36, and the fridge is showing 53 degrees. Any suggestions on what to check? Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions Paul

Richard, The wiring diagram looks like the bay door switches are interrupting 12V from the Slide Disable Relay. Paul

What at the preferred RV Surplus locations in Elkhart? I would like to find a matching ottoman for our 2005 Signature. Paul

I am still looking for a mechanism if anyone has, or knows where one is. Thanks! Paul

The Faria gauges are driven on a Faria Canbus between all the gauges. There is a separate Faria Gateway that Canbus that gets all the signals and send a them to the gauges. Faria no longer supports these gauges as they were custom for Monaco. Paul

I have looked into it. The black part is a tricky shape to print, but the real challenge is the clear plastic which is what deteriorates more. That would be very difficult to 3D print and be functional. There are some 10 button panels that only have 6 buttons, plus 4 more inputs from regular switches. There is a second 6-pin connector on the back of the PCB. Perhaps yours are like that. Paul

Ram mounts just work great, and are not priced too high. Paul

Hi Jim, It was great that you were able to get some of those keypad plastics. They are specific to Monaco and not available from Intellitec any longer. You will be able to change the functions assigned to each button and add new functions to previously unused buttons. Paul

Hi Woody, Hard to say without a picture. You can text them to me at 678-772-3847. Paul

Hi Woody, I drive with the monitor and other devices like that. I do not find it obstructs my view to any noticeable degree. I try not to get that close to vehicles in front of me, and there are gaps between the screens to see immediately in front if necessary. There are various video switches/combiners available on Amazon that work well. Take a look at @Scotty Hutto’s camera update thread. On our 2005 Signature access to the rear camera is from outside. A plate screws off from the rear outside and our camera is mounted to that. If you see silicone, you likely have to slice through it to remove a plate, then clean it up and use silicone to reinstall it. Can you post some pictures of yours?

Hi Brett, I am finalizing the instructions and the tools to make removing the keypad covers easier. I want to make it as easy as possible for users. The kit will allow you to backup and restore your main CPU and your keypads. You will also be able to change which functions are on each key on the keypads, so if you have a spare key position, you can assign a function to it. Changing the programming within the CPU is not typically possible for end users, but is available from resellers. The keypads in our coaches were specific to Monaco and are no longer available. Other Intellitec PMC keypads will function, but will look different and may need you to enlarge the hole the keypad is mounted in. I am located in Woodstock, GA, a northern suburb of Atlanta. We have a trip planned to go to Chicago in late July. Paul

Hi All! I am looking for a mechanism from a Magnum Opus toilet. A member here has graciously loaned me his spare unit for the last 12 months or so and I want to return it to him in advance of his upcoming trip. I know some people,have replaced them and maybe someone has one laying around if you are like me and cannot bear to throw anything away, even if it is no longer useful. 😀 Let me know and I am happy to pay for it as well as shipping. Thanks in advance! Paul

They let us stay overnight. Arrive before the museum closes at 5PM, then they lock the gates till it opens in the morning at 9AM. They have a truck/RV pull-through parking area with about 10 spots.

I met with @Mocephus and Ella last night. 2005 Monaco Signatures. One Commander IV and one Castle IV. Paul

Hi Dick, We appreciate you showing us the hard way to do things. Paul

On our 2005 Signature there is a proprietary Sony 6-Pin connector that looks like it is an S-Video or MiniDIN, but it isn’t. RVCams and Tadi Brothers both have adapter cables for that Sony connector. I think that is the cheapest way. I have thought about putting a smaller nozzle on my 3 D printer to see if I could print one, but will probably buy the connectors that the companies above have had built.

Yes. Everything was drained and the chassis was blocked in place. Paul

When I replaced my o-rings, I did not remove the manifolds from the coach. I removed the solenoid/valves one at a time, replaced the o-rings, and replaced it. I did not remove any airlines. Paul

Your SmartWheel controller looks to be #3 in the lower left of the FRB. To identify the relay, take a picture of the relay itself. The writing on it will include the manufacturer and the model. Paul
