Chuck B 2004 Windsor

Monaco went bankrupt in 2009.

Yes, when God passed out common sense, the did not show up. IN 1998 we purchased our Diplomat at Lazy Days in Tampa. They offered a drivers training course to their new coach owners. Both the DW and I took the course. Glad we did.

In 2005 I was parked in the RV park section at the Monaco repair center in Elkhart , Indiana. A Sig owner drove into the campground. He turned too close to the coaches parked on the end. He wiped out two outside mirrors before a couple of us stopped him. His wife came out the front door first carrying a walker so he he can walk after he came out cussing. He did have insurance.

I rest my case!!! Chuck

If you cannot get a CDL for health reasons, you have no business driving a coach.

My training included measuring the height of my coach to know the proper clearance so that I can drive under low clearances. Do you have the air brake endorsement?

There are some real dangerous people out there driving motor homes. I am sorry to see that they are members of our Monaco family. Another reason why I recommend coach drivers to have the proper drivers license which includes an air brake endorsement to drive a motor home.

NO Check with your tire dealer for more information.

You will find that not many of us "seasoned citizens" who were around back then, are still around and posting to the group. We have a lot of stories and memories to post about.

If one does not weigh their coach to find the recommended cold tire pressure and maintain that pressure, then unusual tire wear and blow out can happen. Add to that tire balance. I always checked my tires while they were cold the morning before traveling. I also found out that if the tires were exposed to the sun that morning had a higher tire pressure than the cold tires on the other side of the coach. What about front end alignment?

My 2004 Windsor came with 295 tires.

You do not recalibrate the panel, you recalibrate the tank.

When is the last time you calibrated your tank monitoring system?

Most all tire manufacturers recommend not using any protectant on their tires. They recommend running the tires on a 50 mile trip at least once a month. I recommend every 2 weeks. The run exercises the entire tire, not just the outside sidewall. During the run, you can also run the genset to exercise it. If you choose to cover the tires to keep the sunlight off them, a cover that is mounted to the outside of the wheel well opening is recommended instead of just covering the tire. That way the tire can breathe and not sweat in hot temps. The only 2 tire manufacturers Coachnet recommends is Goodyear and Michelin.

Call Morgan and Morgan?

Bringing to everyone's attention is what this forum is all about. Now that the recall is brought to everyone's attention, what recourse is there to do?

You need to replace the 2 battery cut off switches. They are known to fail.

I have been around also. When it comes to filing a claim for a given loss, when the adjuster get through with the depreciation, you have what is left after Katie shot at it. That is why I added the "actual replacement value clause" to my policy. A tornado hit my house about 5 or so years ago. My actual replacement value was around $65K. After the adjuster depreciated the loss, it came to around $36K. I was issued a check for $36K. After I produced sales receipts for the replacement items, my insurance company cut me a check for the rest.

If I were you I would leave the slide in until you get it repaired.

There are generally 2 difference types of remotes. Line of sight or RF (radio frequency). Most RF remotes have dip switch settings in the remote used to talk to the device they control. That way one remote can only talk to a device it intends to control without controlling other devices within a given area or distance. Example, 2 different TV's within a given area. I was parked close to another RV that had the same TV that I had. My TV would change channels, turn on, and turn off by itself. Looking out my window I realized that when the person in the other RV was using his remote, it would effect my TV. I changed the dip switch setting on my equipment to stop the interference. Then the fun began. Looking out my window, I could see the person in the other RV trying to watch TV. I would change my dip switch settings to match his. I played havoc on his watching TV. You get the drift. You probably were parked close to another RV. More than likely he programed his device with his remote to turn off and on at specific times. That programing also changed the times on your device. Time to consult your manual to erase the times.

I remember a year or so back when this topic was discussed on the group. A what I called "a matter of fact type female" who joined the group after she purchased a used Monaco coach with 7 year old tires on it. Several members warned her about changing out the tires. Her answer was that there was a lot of thread wear left on the tires. A week or so later she posted that she was traveling 70 mph when she blew a left front tire. She crossed into on coming traffic hitting a car head on with 5 people in it. How about bearing that burden for the rest of your life.

Your safety, your family's safety, your coach. I wish you safe travels. Looks are deceiving, ask any female who puts on their face every morning and removes it every night.
