  1. If you need two AC outputs, then this will not work (without rewiring the coach). The model you needed is 81-2020-12. I can't determine that the remotes or wiring are interchangeable. - Rick N
  2. What manufacturer hydraulic jack system do you have. - Rick N
  3. I didn't see where you connected the positive probe in the pictures. It would be interesting to purees on the same place with a small screwdriver. I'm wondering is where you are applying pressure is has a bad or dirty connection, and the pressure is making better contact? - Rick N Tucson, AZ
  4. I also wonder if the "Big Boy" solenoid (relay) contacts may have "welded" themselves together? You might be able to check this with the engine off, shore power disconnected, solar (if anydisconnected. This should ensure that there are no charging sources to energize the Big Boy fits the BIRD system. In this case, check the voltage on each side of the Big Boy to ground, they will likely be different I'd the contacts are open. It is unlikely that both banks would be at the same voltage. Also remember that the Big Boy I'd energized by the Battery Boost switch on the dash too. - Rick N Tucson, AZ
  5. From the RV-30 manual Note this is not a smart charge controller. The engine output voltage is fixed at 13.4 VDC (around Float voltage) and the House is user adjustable, by Dip Switches, to a fixed voltage between 13.2 to 14.6 VDC. Note that on Solar controllers, the current rating it typically the OUTPUT Current, and the Power being delivered is the Output Current multiplied by the Charge Voltage (not just the nominal 12 volts) which would be the voltage you choose between 13.2 and 14.6 Volts. Note that with PWM, it just switches On/Off the input voltage to maintain the set charge voltage. So, anything more than the charge voltage put the device overhead (typically 3 - 5 volts) is just thrown away. That is the beauty of MPPT controllers, they can use what would have been excess voltage, and provide additional charge current. Let me know if I can answer any other questions. -Rick N. Tucson, AZ
  6. Doubtful that REV, who bought Monaco, will have any data that old. Even if they did, that original paint color would not match your 23 year old faded paint. It is best to get it computer scanned to match the existing color. Often you can just remove the refrigerator cover ant take that in for scanning. - Rick N Tucson, AZ
  7. If you remove the wires from the ignition switch, and then manually connect (touch in the case of START) and then disconnect them manually, and the engine still runs, it would eliminate the ignition switch as a cause. Next, I would temporarily disconnect all the small wires from the alternator (yes it won't work in this configuration) and test again. If it is a problem in the alternator or is wiring keeping the IGNITION circuit hot, it would only be hot when the alternator is producing electricity. If it is in the Ignition Switch & that wiring, then it would be hot even when the engine is not running (no power from the alternator). - Rick N Tucson, AZ
  8. As Tom mentioned, feedback can cause this. I see it most often when an alternator is replaced with the incorrect one, or wired incorrectly. Has any wiring been recently done. - Rick N Casa Grande, AZ
  9. As Jim posted, the A/C Compressor belt is tensioned by the compressor mounting. The idler pulls is for the alternator and likely the water pump/fan. - Rick N
  10. Yes, at least on Dynasty & Executive. Each headlight is on a self-resetting circuit breaker. They are located in the Front Run Bay. - Rick N Casa Grande, AZ
  11. According to your Owners Manual, the A/C belt is a Dayco 15465 and the Alternator Belt is a Dayco 3911581. This would imply you have two belts, one likely just for the A/C and the second for the alternator and water pump. If this is the case, I doubt it was the A/C compressor that froze up, unless that belt also broke and took out the alternator belt. -Rick N. Casa Grande, AZ
  12. I can't speak to the brand of the pumps, but I believe all Monaco Dynasty and up (Exec & Sig) came with accumulator tanks since the 1990's. I know my '97 Dynasty had one, as does my 05 Exec. I have not looked to see what brand pump I have - the Previous Owner replaced it in 2018, just before I bought it along with a lot of other items (new A/C and 10-button thermostats, new 600D Aquahot, new inverter and 1000 Watts Solar, Amish cooling core, Samsung microwave, all LED lighting inside, dash radio/monitor, GPS). I know several other with Dynasty's or Exec's and all have accumulator (sometimes called "pressure" or "expansion") tanks. -Rick N. Casa Grande, AZ
  13. Doug, I have no doubt, but I'm not sure if it is or how to adjust those set points. The pumps I've used in the past didn't have adjustment, but did have rebuild kits. I'll see if it is just a bad connector - if so, and I can repair without removing the tank itself, that's what I'll do.
  14. Doug, I had a leak on my pressure tank when I showed up to dry camp at Quartzsite. I think it is the plastic connection into the tank, but I'm not sure. I cut the line to the tank (it's the only line out of the water pump that doesn't go to the manifold) and capped it. Be prepared (I wasn't) for a couple gallons of water to flow back out of the tank. I can't easily get to mine, it's above the Aquahot valves. I'm not sure if that was the original way it was installed, or if when the original Aquahot was replaced by the 600D things changed. A new one is around $60 at home depot or lowes, and I plan on replacing mine when I get back home. To answer your question, when I'm not running the water full on, instead of the water coming from the expansion tank until pressure decreased to a certain point, and the pump cycling on to recharge, the pump short-cycles every couple seconds, depending on the flow. Washing my hands the pump may cycle 30 times for a couple seconds each time. I don't think that's good on the pump, even if the total pump time were the same - I'm not sure that is true either. I have read that some of the newer pumps are variable speed, and can compensate for no accumulator tank, but mine is not one of those. -Rick N. Casa Grande, AZ
  15. That information pertains to Richard W, and his 2006, Monaco Cayman. He is the one who originally started this thread. I was not responding to your questions which may have been different. This is the problem when people post different questions or have different year/model coaches from that which is the original poster (OP), To ensure this doesn't happen, and cause potential confusion to all readers, you should start a new posting with your specific info (question, year, model of coach). This will also enable future searches for the problem/concern you have, which won't show up when interjected into a post of of a different problem/concern/year/model.
