@Scotty and Paul, Dynasty and Signature coaches had names and not number designations from the early 2000s if not before. Then in mid decade, when various models had 2, 3 or 4 slides on the books, a roman numeral was added to designate the number of slides. In '04, for example, Dynastys had a Bishop II, II or IV depending on # of slides; likewise for Platinum and Diamond models, but there was only a Countess III. Executives kept letter designations through '05; then went to names in '06. In '05 or '06, they added "R" and "F" designations, as the Ranier IIIR and Ranier IIIF had the curbside slides in rear or front respectively. Paul's '06 Denali only came in the IIIR variation, at least, on the books. I do recall seeing many of these back in the day, in the 2000's when M.I. rallies had a few dozen show coaches.
Did I memorize all this? Heck no! I looked up some Monaco brochurePDF's on my computer. 🙂 ... just wasting some time before I go outside to putter on the coach. Always something to do; thanks to you guys for helping me figure out how to do it.

My mistake, I looked at the picture and saw that you have the triple slide with 2 in the rear, which was the '06 standard. missed that you said it was an '07 special order. I missed the awning up top in the picture too. I should have known... guess I'm getting old. I think the Denali in '07 was 'standard' as a quad slide. But back in the day almost any variation was possible on a special order, including building quad slide coaches as triple or doubles. I remember the order "desk" in the Monaco tent at the MI rallies so customers could pick and choose...
