The high mount stop light on my 2009 Dynasty burned out and I am looking for a replacement light. The old light bar is 18 inches long, 3/4 inch wide and 3/4 inch high (including mounting pad). I have not found light bars this narrow and shallow online. Any thoughts on finding a replacement light? Thank you, Ray Murley 2009 Dynasty

Richard and Tom, thank you for your replies. I consider the thermostat as an on off switch and the cooling/heating capacity is a function of the compressor size and evaporator/ condenser sizing. Unfortunately, no Idid not get the new ten button board from last summer’s install. The old adage “old too soon and smart too late” applies. I don’t have a problem manually controlling the temperature with the five button thermostat and will probably not upgrade to the ten button in the future. Ray Murley 2009 Dynasty

Hi, I am having a new Penguin AC unit installed and was told if I run the new unit off my old 5 button thermostat that the 15K BTU AC would be derated to 13.5K. I had another 15K AC installed last summer and the Tech used the board from the old AC to be compatible with the 5 button thermostat and the AC functions fine. Any thoughts why a thermostat would derate the cooling/ heat capacity of an AC unit? Thanks, Ray Murley 2009 Dynasty

Will the new key pad fit in the key pad place? Ray Murley 2009 Dynasty

Has anyone repaired the entry door key pad? I have one button that does not respond and wonder if I can take apart the pad and clean contacts. Thanks, Ray Murley 2009 Dynasty

Jim Bob, Veraken has posted two files that might help with your door issue: "Door Adjustment-Entrance" and "Door Bushing Replacement and Latch". Your door maybe out of adjustment causing your issues. Ray Murley 2009 Dynasty

Dead bolt lock update I replaced the dead bolt lock with a new one purchased from Rainer Vilsis and all is well. Someone posted that they were going to replace their dead bolt with a double keyed one (keyed inside and out). PLEASE DON’T DO THIS. If you have seen videos of how quickly a motor home fire spreads you won’t have time to fumble with a key to get out. You can’t have anything so valuable in your coach worth risking your life.

Ivan, No, the tire was so mangled I don’t think one could tell what part of the tire failed. I took pictures but lost them with my last iPhone update. However, I did not try to determine the cause of the blow out. I am very aware of the aging of tires and replace them before seven years. I have Tire Minders and keep the tires inflated to required pressures. Ray Murley 2009 Dynasty

Hello Scotty, Yes, we had the Tyron bands installed following a presentation at the Gathering about eight years ago. Traveling on the Indiana Turnpike that summer we had a blow out on the right front tire. Our normal travel speed is 62 mph and I was able to easily control the vehicle to a stop in a straight line. The tire and rim were badly damage (but tire stayed on the rim) and the coach body was damaged. HOWEVER WE WERE SAFE. The Indiana Turnpike has a narrow shoulder and a big drop off. If we had gone off the shoulder we and the coach would have had a disastrous and possible fatal outcome. Fortunately, I was in many lectures that told us not to get on the brakes and I didn’t. My wife and I are sold on the Tyron bands and highly recommend them. Ray and Tam Murley 2009 Dynasty

My entry door dead bolt lock is binding up and no amount of lubrication will get it working smoothly. Does anyone no the supplier of the dead bolt mechanism (lock) and possible part number? 2009 Monaco Dynasty Ray Murley
