I installed a TST 507 system. Coach and 3 axel trailer 3 years ago. I chose the none flow through sensors. Nothing better than being able to see your pressures before you pull out from the racetrack or overnight stop without the need to get out check 12 tires, or warn you if you have one going down while on the road. I advised one of my racing buddies he should have the system so he bought a TST. So far it has saved him from shredding two trailer tires that picked up nails. (On a big coach you just have no idea a multi axel trailer has a tire going down until you see smoke from it dragging.) These were very good shape newer tires so his system has almost paid for itself. If set up correctly there is no reason a TPMS should not be a great addition to your coach. I would highly recommend TST and the Pressure Pro must be a solid choice as well.

Gary has a very good point to consider. I guess the search for the proper replacements then would be the first thing to do based on size and how they mount and are wired. Going to fully digital gauges would be great. It could take a lot of time to research out workable/compatible replacement gauges. Roy SUPER nice job!

Thanks for all the input on this guys. Roy can you post photos? How did you attach your gauges to the panel? Road tripper, you are correct I did a lot of additional damage to mine just pulling it out far enough to replace the leaky air fittings so if you start messing with it at all no matter how careful it will crack more. I was not planning to replace mine if possible but after needing to access the back side I pretty much killed mine. I am a metal worker much more that wood so that would be my direction.

I know this has been discussed. I really need to replace/repair my dash, the warning light module is falling out now. Is the custom instrument panel replacements still the best way to go? I had my dash panel pulled back to repair leaky air line fittings at the dash gauge and it was a beast just to pull it out just to work behind. I have not called custom inst. panels company yet. Those who have done this how did it go for you? Those who have made your own aluminum panel how did you approach it? I think this would be the time to also replace the rear camera monitor also. I have thought about building aluminum panels to just cover and reinforce the cracking plastic but now with the warning light section falling out I need to repair it. Looks like someone has repaired/glued the module to the dash previously. Thanks to anyone who has replaced/repaired their dash and willing to share info.

Thank you both for the help. I will start with checking and cleaning connections.

I am having issue with my smart wheel buttons. Resume on the cruise control either shuts off cruise or turns on wipers. Any help where to start on this type of problem? Thanks ! 2000 Dynasty.

I travel a few weekends a year with a buddy who races. He just purchased the mico air. He loves it. I am not sure what type his original stat was.

Ride height adjusters can leak air pretty bad They have o-rings in them. I have had a leaker. I have been lucky and my audible air leaks have been before I leave and have had time to repair. I would add an assortment of air line fittings, sealant for pipe threads, and a length of DOT air line. Any time I replace a fitting I just buy two of the type I replace. They are pretty cheap. I suddenly had a serious leak at my dash air gauge. It was just a swivel fitting that let go quickly.

Update, Located adjuster/bleed screws to slow down the step. Thanks Ivan! Brakes were rusted from a rainy trip before parking it for the year. Got them loosened up. Thanks to all. Eddie, The mac valve is usually the issue with the step cover. It was for me. Be sure to buy new air line fittings. I also bought a screened port for the Exhaust. Mine was open and it sure seems like it could get dirt in it.

2000 Dynasty. last fall my step cover would hardly move and Air was hissing. Found out this is a MAC/air valve issue. Valve replaced. I was very careful to take photos and mark the lines. Photos must have been deleted I can not locate them. Air step cover moves so fast with the new valve it is scary. It is like there is no slow bleed like I had previously. The real issue is my Park brake will not release and the coach will not move. I am just positive the lines are on the same as the old valve but I must be wrong. Am I safe to switch lines and try them on a different port? There are three air lines and two wires. I switched the wires and nothing seems different. TIA. Update. My Haldex Purge is putting out some oily water. New haldex filter kit installed april 2018 and 4 k miles. Coach is Stored in climate controlled dry building.

I learned to shut my pump off when not in use after the hose on the pressure side of the water pump burst. We had just parked and when I got out of the coach water was pouring out of a bay door so my timing was pretty lucky.

Vito you are so right about how poorly these were installed. From the mounting brackets to the way they sit in the cap. That was a hack job by Monaco. I have been able to run mine on high beam without issue on 4 lane roads but the light pattern on High beam is also really bad. I replaced my fogs with driving lights also before the new headlights but I am not sure what I have. As Van said I have thought about just wiring them to a separate switch on the dash to turn them on when ever I want. I don't think My driving lights are great so I might check into those that you used.. As you stated they are probably not legal but I don't care either, we have to see where we are driving.

Paul, Mine are the BMW 5 series lamps made by Hella. My new ones are projector low beams. Your lamps may be out of a different auto. Most of these old coaches use automotive lamps of some kind.

Last year I installed new Hella brand headlamps in my 2000 Dynasty. I did not want China junk. Well I got euro junk. The light quality is terrible. Anyone install a newer style bulb in the original Hella 5 Series that works well? I spent so much money on these I really don't want to spend another $100 bucks that does not help. Thanks

I bought a switch from NWRV supply. It was not the momentary type, physically it looked the same. The NWRV rep told me they have been trying for years to find a supplier to build this switch.

I have been searching for a momentary lighted water pump switch that is located in my living room area panel. This is a green rocker type that is momentary. It will "rock" up or down but returns to center. Light is lit when on and no light when off. My light is out so I can't visually check if my water pump is on or not unless I go to the bathroom and check the light. I had a Hose blow out on the pump once so I don't like to leave it on when I am not in the coach. Coach is 2000 Dynasty. Anyone have a source?

I would like to replace my front seats in my 2000 Dynasty but I sure want to look, feel, and sit in some before I buy. I am not sure how to make that happen?

Ward, I use a Femco drain valve on my Dynasty. Works Great. The Femco is sealed with a spring loaded valve and a screw on external cap when not in use.
