  1. I'll be looking to have the 3M film replaced. Did they even give you a quote for replacing the film?
  2. Richard, What did they charge you to remove and replace yours? I'm needing to have mine replaced. The only heartburn I have with Dazzling Detailing is getting them to show up. I've been 'stood up' 4 times now with a no show for having our coach detailed. They seem to do good work whenever they do show up though but they haven't showed up for the last several times I've called them, and I feel I have been very generous to his guys when they have showed up.
  3. Keith, Before you start tearing into hardware have you done a system reset? You should have a reset button possibly in your front run bay that'll do sort of a 'soft' reset or you can hold down the level button for 5 or 10 sec and that will do a 'hard' reset. I've had to do that on occasion. At least get that out of the way first before you proceed on. Also, after you leveled your coach did you leave the HWH system on so the auto-level will stay activated. I've also had to educate the guys about how to make sure the system stayed activated when they've pulled it inside. And as a side note, always follow what Frank said about making sure your front tires are straight whenever you park it anywhere or you're exposing yourself to wheel well/fender damage. Same goes for making sure you are aired up, and at RIDE HEIGHT before you make any turning of your steering wheel. Don't ask me how I know. I do know that mistake gets expensive, unfortunately.
  4. All it takes to be a 'certified' Aqua-Hot service technician is $100 and 8 hours in their classroom ....... THAT'S ALL! I had one of those so called certified service techs out of Titusville, Fla come to work on mine and about destroyed it. I had to take it up to the Hitching Post to get it repaired. When all said and done I was out $3,000 for what should have been a $165 mobile service charge. The owner of the Hitching Post is a jerk, and they are Pricey, but the technician there is more down to earth. The only other place I would go to is Lazydays in The Villages. They still have some of the old Monaco Service Technicians still there from when it was a Monaco Service Center.
  5. Great news Paul. Did you have to change your price any? I'm thinking about getting a kit if even just for a spare for when mine OEM's crap out.
  6. Has anyone replaced a door bell button switch on their coach? My question is: "does it just press in from the outside or is there a nut on the backside holding ti in place?". Just want to make sure I don't cause any damage trying to replace it. I found what I believe is a replacement at Home Depot and it appears it's made to just press in a 5/8" hole. UPDATE: It does just press in from the outside. It was just 'glued' in with a bunch of silicone calking. Apparently water still seeped in as the switch was all rusted and ended up coming out in pieces. Now have a nice new lighted switch and just need to re-calk around it. I was going to delete this post but decided to leave it in case someone else was wondering how to replace theirs. Switch was $4.98 from Home Depot.
  7. If you're in the Ocala area just take it down to Lazydays in The Villages. That used to be a Monaco Service Center and they still have many of the old Monaco technicians there. I have been very pleased with all the work I have had them do for me, and without trying to up-sell me additional repairs.
  8. Tickets are $13 if you buy them on line otherwise they are $15 at the gate and I think it may be $10 for parking if you drive in. As far as camping you'll need to start calling campgrounds. More then likely camping at the fair grounds has been sold out, as are most of the 'local' campgrounds. You may find that you'll have to drive quite a ways to find a campground, much depending on your size. Lazydays campground is closed so that's impacting availability of other campground sites.
  9. Are you looking for a campsite or admission to the actual RV Show ?
  10. I have found that just changing the shade switch solves that problem. I have had this happen to me several times and it has always been the switch.
  11. Yeah, when dealing with the HWH systems you really need to have a tech that really knows what they're doing or you can end up when a hell of a mess. Someone earlier this year was told they needed to cut a hole in the slide wall to get them out !!! Lazydays in The Villages still has the Monaco fixture to remove a slide and lay it down if they need to.
  12. We just drove I-40 and I-75 today and traffic thru Atlanta and Macon was a nightmare ! Stopped at the Carroll's Sausage RV Campground for the night. Was a very long day
  13. michaelivan, The other route I have taken is up through Ashville and down I-26 to I-95.
  14. My experience has been that if you're at the point to be experiencing seal leaks then it would be very pertinent to have ALL 3 of that slides cylinders rebuilt. I would be reluctant to say that no special skills are required. You really need to know how to bleed the air out of the synchronizing cylinder to assure the system is balanced out or you could introduce more problems. Lazy Days in The Villages is an old Monaco Service center and still has some of the old Monaco technicians working there. ECOR Hydraulics in Melbourne will rebuild those cylinders for about $120 each with about a one day turnaround. There is a place in the Daytona area that LazyDays has used but I hear they are a slow turnaround and very expensive. The only fault I have with these hydraulic places that rebuild them is they they don't pressure test them afterwards. I have had one cylinder fail immediately costing me the time to have it removed again and a 200 mile round trip to get it rebuilt and reinstalled again.
