HaHaHa!....It does NOT BEEP...it screams bloody murder! Just sayin! ....Dennis

I'm thinking the sensors as currently manufactured cannot withstand the high pressure of the motorhome tires. Not sure if the demand would be enough to perfect such an animal and/or be politically correct if they could be mandated. I use the TST monitors and have been satisfied with them for the past 7 years....Dennis

Cheapest I've seen for that unit is $429. Who has it for $100 less???...Dennis

It looks like you're missing nuts on the front battery posts. Also two disconnected wires...???....Dennis

Winegard is a BIG company. When each employee writes a positive review, their status elevates. Same with Yelp. Like political polls, they can't be trusted....Dennis

Bob, I only use the diesel for showers. The rest of the time the AH is on electric which provides enough hot water for everything else so the AH electric is on all the time. I've not had any issues with it and, like you have it serviced with my annual service. I see no reason why leaving it on for heat would present a problem, but I don't think it heats the underbelly........Dennis

Try this.... LINK ....Dennis

Diane, follow the above directions but when you get to the last page, scroll down to the bottom and make sure both boxes are checked. If they aren't, check the bottom box and you should get another pop up asking you to Allow or Don't Allow. Click allow and you should be good. If both boxes are checked, uncheck one and log out. Log back in and scroll back to that page and recheck the box. The pop up box should appear asking you if you're sure you want to be notified. Check allow and you should be good.....Dennis

Click on your name...upper right hand corner. On the drop down menu, click on Account Settings. On the next drop down menu, (right side) click on Manage Notification Settings. Click on however you want to be notified, how often and what content.....hope this helps...Dennis

Try looking on the INSIDE of the FRB door. Monaco attaches a sheet there which shows where hidden fuses are located. Open the FRB door and look UP. Easily missed...Dennis

Have you UNPLUGGED the unit inside the coach? Unplug it for 30 minutes and plug it back in if you haven't. This will reset it. I'm assuming, from your description, that the dish continues to spin without connecting. If that correct? Unless you hit it on something the head shouldn't matter. That said, grab one off another dish, and install it. Then try it. I found out about the reset thingy at an FMCA convention because mine was doing that. Cost me $65 bucks for the 'techie' to come to the coach and do it. Live n learn.....Dennis

Remember too, the switch numbers are NOT Carling numbers. They are proprietary numbers pertaining to Monaco only. If purchasing them somewhere else, the numbers on the switches are of no use.....Dennis

Bob..you're giving away your age. Most on here have no idea what you're talking about....Dennis 😃

But Dish will not work with a DirecTV antenna. The antennas are network specific. I believe you mentioned your coach has a DTV antenna correct?....Dennis

We all have our Garmin stories. My first diesel was a 40' Tourmaster. I went from a 29' Winnie gasser to the Tourmaster. We bought it in Houston at PPL and I spent 3 1/2 hours driving around Houston in the wee hours of the morning to get the 'feel' of the new bus. Nothing like some seat time to get comfortable before heading back to California. Anyway we ended up in San Antonio and I had been playing with the Garmin and put in the Alamo. Forgetting that I had done that, I blithely followed directions like a good pilot until I ended up downtown with Garmin telling me to turn right. I should have known something was wrong by the strange looks I was getting, like 'what in the heck is this guy doing with that thing downtown', or 'that guy sure is stupid' and of course the 'I bet he's following his GPS'. Anyway we turned, big mistake, road was closed two blocks down with those huge concrete barriers. Picture a guy driving a huge 40' motor home on a two lane street 24' wide. Now picture him trying to turn that thing around on a dead end street. Yeah! it wasn't pretty. But, on the positive side, I caused no damage to anything and got tons of experience. My wife is still my wife and we are still happy, so it's a WIN.!!! That coach was a good coach but ended up getting stolen when we got back to California, which is how I ended up with the Dynasty and eventually the Executive. Garmin is only as good as the dummy that enters the information. I now only use GPS coordinates instead of street addresses.....Dennis

Rebuilt alternators on Monaco products are the ONLY way to go. I bet 90% of 'new' alternator installs report issues. Don't know why and I am not trying to figure out why. I've always rebuilt a failed alternator and never have had any issues afterwards. Cheaper too....Your coach, your choice. YMMV.....Dennis If you have 'issues', just run your genset. It should keep your batteries up enough for you to get to your destination.....Dennis

Monacos have always been persnickety about alternators. I bet posts are 90% problematic if replacing the alternator. They are not rocket engines and I'm not an engineer so I can't say why new or re-manufactured ones give us fits. I'm old enough to remember the DC generators with commutators. Now those beasts were irritating but easily fixable. A good repair shop can rebuild your alternator more easily and much cheaper than buying a new one. This is one instance where buying new is not better. YMMV.....Dennis

My surround system was hooked through a separate tuner that I no longer use. I re routed the cables to my CD changer and I only use the surround sound for that. As for DirectTV, there are no programs I know of that allow you to use it as needed so a subscription is necessary. For your use, either update your TV, (see my BLOG, listed below) or use Roku or Chromecast and stream movies and shows. That way you're only shelling out $100/month for internet fees. 😁.....Dennis

Mine has a button to push that fills them before starting the engine. If you have a manual check that. If not, go to the manual section here and pull it up....Dennis

This is my second coach with the sanicon and I wouldn't have another one without it. Easiest, cleanest way to dump. Two completely full tanks, grey and black will take less than five minutes to empty. If it takes longer than that either you are doing something wrong or your system need service. Since the coach is new to you, remove the pump and clean the knives. They get hair wrapped around them and they don't work as well. They have rebuild kits for the pump as well. Amazon is the best place for that. Mine will pump over 100' and up to 8' high. I always look for a space near the bathhouse in campgrounds with no sewer hookup.......Dennis

"They" say, (I've been told, "they" are two nuns from Poughkeepsie) we can learn new things every day. I learned something new today that may help someone else. Then again, maybe everyone knows and I'm the only one who didn't. Anyway, I went to the coach yesterday and found it leaning a bit to one side. The weather changed from 90 degrees to 60 so I figured the change in temps caused the bags to deflate a bit. I attempted to level the coach using the keypad. Turned on the key, pushed the button and it lit up but nothing happened. After playing with it a bit I started the engine and aired everything up into travel mode figuring I'd tackle the gremlin later. While on a walk, it dawned on me that I had turned off the house batteries when I put it in storage. Didn't think anything of that since the dash lit up but I thought I'd check it out. Turned on the house batteries, pushed the button and bingo! coach started leveling. Kinda weird but apparently the dash pad is powered by the chassis batteries but the leveler solenoids are powered by the house batteries. Thought I'd post this here in the event someone else experiences the same thing and doesn't call a tech to come out to troubleshoot.....Dennis

I've often said the happiest day of my life was when I saw that little sign on the Colorado River Bridge, "Welcome to California"........ in my rear view mirror. 🙂

Yeah! I just hate it when a piece of rag makes it's way into a valve. Hope Cummins helped you with the cost....Dennis
