Larry Laursen: What addresses do you use for both east and West?> Why do you need those specific addresses? Thanks

Too late i drilled the holes. That screen went away the next time I turned it on. Tim is a great guy. I am very pleased. In the beginning I did not understand that the Alladin feeds everything to the monitor. I drove all the way from Canada toMexico with no monitor. Not fun.

Did you try my recommondation in another forum? Contact Just for Towing in Yuma.

Today I enlarged the whole in the dash for the new monitor. Between Tim at RV cams and Jim Clendendon I finally understood the wiring. It is actually quite simple. I still have to drill the holes to mount the monitor. Started the engine and there was the Alladin menu. All cameras are working and I can see all the engine data. I did not have to add any wiring for the rear camera. I am feeding it 12 volts via the monitor. How ever I must be missing something in the setup. I have 3 rows with colored dots and figures: 03,06,09. This is on every screen. ?? Any help with that appreciated. You do not realize how much you rely on a BU monitor until it fails. I use the date screen a lot

Nice pics!!

Here is a photo of the back of the monitor.

Mike. Your system may be different. I have 4 cameras and the alladin, My monitor is a VCB 62mh

I will finish removing the monitor on Satrurday. I had to remove the radio and the panel that holds the HVAC controls. Now I can see the 4 Philips screws that fasten the monitor. I have a plastic plug with maybe 5 or 6 wires at one end of the monitor and one cable similar to an svideo that I think goes to the connector marked camera one. I will post a picture on Saturday. I think Tim can make up an adapter for the camera one cable. But I do not know what to do with those 18 ga. cables

I finally have the kit from RV acms to replace my Dead Sony monitor. Before I remove the old one I would like to find schematic for the monitor wiring. The one listed under 08 Dynasty is quite different from mine> I can only see one small sort of s video connector and a bushing on the back of the Sony with a bunch of 18 ga, wires. I did see the connector box for many of the cables. Most are RCA jacks but I think one may be a coax. Only a few are marked. Tim at RV cams will help me but I need to know what that box does. Where is the connection for the Alladin? Thanks.

Thanks Southpaw. When I googled that switch did not show up. There was one listed that had 3/8 terminals. I even contacted the Mfr. but they never replied. The Fastronics is almost the same as original except it has a pin to prevent the switch from rotating. The fastronics was cheaper but if I had known the part # of the Cole Hersee I would have bought one!

I have that new switch in my shop. It is almost a duplicate of the Cole Hersee. Gary Donahue. I think if you start a new thread on your problem you will get a reply. All the house batteries are connected. Maybe your cables are bad. Or the PO changed out 4 of the batteries and the others are toast. Did you check the voltage of each battery? Do you have a battery hydrometer. Maybe check each cell.

After spending 5 weeks at Q I can see why people buy these softeners. My concern would be drinking water. We have a residential fridge with a water/ ice dispenser. Soft water makes for bad coffee and horrible ice.

Thanks Frank .That switch is for connecting batteries as well as a disconnect. I am going to order the one I mentioned above. It looks like a duplicate of the original cole hersee. The distributer is in the Phillipines. Could be from China but they specialize in race car items so hopefully it will be decent quality. I sent a message to Cole Hersee but no answer yet. The world of automotive electrics has changed . Many companies have been bought out by conglomerates. Often wonder if this is a step backwords.

Amazon.com: Fastronix 300A 1/2" Severe Duty Master Battery Disconnect Switch with Face Plate : Automotive I think this would be a good substitute. I have not checked to see where it was manufactured

Scotty. Thanks for that idea. The switch in the parts list is for selecting 2 different batteries. Cole hersee is now part of littlefuse. I cleaned up the old switch and it has 2 1/2 inch poles and 2 10/32 poles. I can see some of the original part #. It looks like 759. The rest is unreadable. I looked in the catalog but can only find a switch with 3/8 poles. I am assuming that my swirch can handle higher amps. I am still searching. Thanks

I should explain myself better. On an 08 Dynasty with 8 - 6 volt batteries the disconnect switch is mounted to one of the side walls of the front battery bay. There are 2 switches, house and coach. One can access the back of the switches by removing a narrow plate on the wall of the rear battery box. So the guts of the switch are betwen 2 metal walls. With the rear batteries removed you can just barely get in between to undo the cable. Ther are 4 studs.2 are large studs. 3/8 I think. The other 2 are 10/32. The large cables do not have much play. The small wires can be extended if requires. So the replacement should be the same style. I have not yet seen any part # on the switch. Thanks

I will be shopping in Tucson. No Blue Sea. This is not an ordinary 2 pole switch. Lots of Offshore stuff but I want quality. All I need is a part # and I can order online. Thanks

Where can I find a Cole Hersee battery disconnect for my 08 Dynasty. There are 2 large poles and 2 small terminals. Mine are working but I would like to have a spare. Thanks

Thanks Frank. I tried turn signals, horn and a few others and they all work. I just reb uilt my spare Bog Boy and will change that out as well. My new solenoids will be in Tucson in 8 days

The Saga continues. I have a new to me board for the charging setup in the RRB on the way. I removed the old burnt board. Then I temporarily connected together both terminals on the upper small relay. The inverter is charging the batteries and all the interior lights, slides, etc. are working. The bottom relay is working. I went to start the MH. It tuned over but would not start. Found a loose fuse and now it starts. But when I open the FRB all the red lights are on. I know that some normally are red but should almost all the lights be red? A couple of them are amber.

Frank. There was some sirt of shirt andsm oke was coming from the bottom right of the board. I removed it and the board is fine but there is a small black rectangular device that is slightly melted.I checked for continuity and all is fine. Paul whittle is sendimg me a board and I k now a company here in Mexico that repairs electronicboards. I thought a schematic might help. I really would like to do away withe salesman switch and and that board. But for now I am going to order a new relay and install a board. I am not as sharp as I used to be.

Is there a schematic available for that small board. I want to take it to an industrial electronic repair company. They are supposed to be sharp! A schemaitic might help. Thanks

I echo all of the above comments. Frank ( and others as well) are way better than even the good old boys that used to be tech support at Monaco!!! If this forum and the great members did not exist I might have sold my unit!!

Thanks again
