When I installed my residential, (Samsung) I left the top vent open and closed off the lower outside vent using strips of duct tape on the inside. Keeps out the cold/hot/dirt and bugs. Mine sits on a platform of metal and plywood with about a 4" space. Never have had an issue with it. I installed it in 2014 and we full time.....Dennis

Robert, I purchased Michelin through FMCA program. Saved a ton of money. That said, I went with 315/80s on the steer axle. Bigger tires = less pressure = better ride and steering. I've been pleased with them. I run Michelin's all around. Hope this helps....Dennis

Jim C. Thanks for that info. The deputy I talked to was pretty adamant about it being a safety issue. I'm pretty proficient in driving my coach since I've got 100,000 miles on it but he made it sound like those hairpin turns were deal killers. I've been on roads I felt I shouldn't have been on in the past, (Parts of Hwy 1 in Ca, Hwy 60 in Virginia) 15 mph switchbacks are not good if there's traffic.  Anyway, thanks for posting real life experiences with this road.  I was thinking of the dirt part of 88 I guess, near Apache Lake....Safe travels ...

You should have Carling switches to turn the light on. They are held in place at the top and bottom by plastic tabs. These tabs have to be compressed to remove the switch. I put my fingernails under the top and wiggle it until it frees, then do the same at the bottom. Often it comes out a little at a time, and you have to work it out. Once it's out, check the wiring etc. They are Carling switches but are proprietary to Monaco meaning the part numbers on them are Monaco specific. When ordering new ones make sure the connectors on the back match up. Best of luck...Dennis

Ward,

We also have a 45' with tow. If you decide on going thru Globe and on up to ShowLow, you'll most likely not arrive as a happy camper. We stayed at the casino in Pinetop, a very nice campground, and did not take 60 South upon the advise of a Sheriff's deputy who advised us it was limited to 40'. We took his advise and went south using AZ 260 to AZ 87 through Payson. Very enjoyable drive. AZ 188 has about a 10 mile section that is gravel so that was out completely. IIRC there is a road restriction sign outside of Globe on US60. If you do decide to go that way, there a nice campground at the Apache Gold Casino in Globe. Personallly, coming from the South I'd take 10 North to 202 East to AZ 87 North and bypass Phoenix that way. Another shortcut would be 10 N to 202 E to 101 N to 202 E to AZ 87 N but it's easier to simply stay on the 202 which is a loop system around the Phoenix area....Dennis

Richard. Access the bottom of the wheel and remove the two screws. They are phillips. The wheel is actually in three parts. The center is fixed and the two sides come off separately. Simply remove the covers to access the electronics. They're simply boards with plugs. Clean the connections with electrical spray. (Available at Radio Shack, Home Depot, Lowes etc.) and reassemble. Most of 1/2 hour to complete the task. Pretty easy...good luck....Dennis
