OK, charged batteries for about 2 hours, then let them sit for 20-25 minutes and the readings are 6.46 for 2 batteries 6.47 for one, 6.50 for two, 6.51 for two and 6.54 for one. I'm outwest and will be attending the Albuqueque Balloon Fiesta, so, I'm getting a little nervous. If its not the batteries, then its in the charger, right? I don't have time to replace the inverter charger. Can I just buy a quality charger and charge all eight with the gen. running?

Thanks Tom, I will do as you described when I get to the next CG. I will report back with what I found.Woody O

I boon docked last night and my AGM batteries did not last through the night. Thinking I got a bad battery in the group. So, will test each one individually to see which one. My question is, after I got the gen. running, it took over a minute or two before the charger would go from "stand by" to charge and then it went to "float charging" at 29 amps instead of 99 amps. Question: Would a bad battery cause this or is the inverter/charger going out? Woody O 2006 Monaco Dynasty

Thanks guys for making the video. I too now will be able to redo my beltlines.

I strengthen the console top by sliding an 1/16" thick aluminum plate under it where the brake switch is located and screwed it down. That made a big difference. Here's the problem. I CAN'T FIND THE NASON SAFETY SWITCH. On some coaches, it is "T" under the brake switch. Not mine. So, I looked up the pneumatic drawing and it is showing in the front generator area on passenger side of front of coach. I can't find but one electrical in front that has 3 wires and I know that not it. Need suggestions on where it could be. HELP please.

So, left campsite and returned home and the lift axle works like it is suppose to. I have no ideal as to why it stopped working while backing into site but glad it is working fine now.

While backing into campsite with lift axle raised, the switch light went off and the axle went back down. So, Im thinking I blew a fuse. I looked at tech pages to see if they could help me. No luck. Can't find fuse. I see some lift axle relays in front run box. So, is my next task checking the relays to see if need replacing?

The Nason safety Switch, I believe is going out on me, so I tried to order from several of the above numbers, of which none seem to have part available. I'm getting one from Radwell International today. Thanks to Larry and Tom for the help.

2006 Monaco Dynasty, Cranked up and pulled out to load coach and parking light would not go off and if tried to drive forward, warning bells would start ringing. Stopped , then moved forward again and same thing. Stopped and backed up and the light went out. So, what do I need to do if it happens again and does not go off?

Merry Christmas to you and all the support staff of our Monacers.org group Woody O

I checked with the owner and yes he has a tire monitoring system . I don’t know which brand, but he did say that when he left that day, all the tires pressure were where they were supposed to be and there were no alarms. The pressure was correct until the tire blew. This is all I know.

I have a 2006 Monaco Dynasty. I've noticed several times now that when I pull the headlight switch, all the lights come on except the headlights. Play with switch a little and the headlights come on. So, I went to parts list and all I saw was I think, a 1974 series headlight switch. So, has anyone replaced their switch in a 2006 coach? If so, do you still have the part number? Thanks, Woody O

A friend of mine had a front tire blowout on his way home from a Monaco rally. He was heading home on I-26 going toward Columbia, SC. As he was crossing a bridge, his right front tire blew. He was able to get on the shoulder of the road without any damage to coach. The interesting part, is that it was a 2-1/2 year old Toyo tire. It was on a Saturday about noon and the roadside assistance you get from FMCA was closed. No help there. So, I gave him the number for McCarthy Tire, a large regional roadside assist in the southeast. They were not operating. Luckily, he was able to find an independent in Columbia, SC, that came out and put a BF Goodrich tire on. He checked the blown tire and the area of the tire blowout and did not see anything that he might have run over to cause the damage.

Given the good advice from several people including Tom Cherry, I went with a Dayton model #6EDY7 Line Voltage Thermostat to replace my White Rogers #E2 Type2B61-186 Thermostat. Thanks for a great bunch of people that are willing to share their knowledge to help their fellow traveler. Woody O
