I have this kind. Dynasty 2002-2005: RV Motorhome Mirror, Driver Side, Chrome, 14 inch Arm, Velvac 715283-4 (rvpartscenter.com) 

Most likely not the same one you have.

Well. I have the same problem. And instead of trying to find a replacement ($900.00) or around that figure, I took my mirror off and removed all the pieces. I found that the mirror base frame inside the outside housing, was broken off the plastic. I used JB weld to fix the issue and it only lasted a couple months. I am going to have to try and use a better adhesive material next time.

Are you in central Fl.?

Nope Huntsville Alabama

I am selling my 2003 Monaco Windsor 

Sometimes the discount will not show up until it is processed in your next statement and you can ask the gas attendant to run the card to make sure it is accepted at the pump. I had this issue come up before. If you have issues, there is a toll free number to call before you purchase gas. They are very helpful.

My filter for my 2003 Monaco Windsor is a complete housing and filter element all in one. Mine did not have a filter element to fit inside the housing. Just like this one. 

Amazon.com: WIX Filters - 46891 Heavy Duty Air Filter, Pack of 1 : Automotive 

Following. I have a 2003 Windsor and my Air Bags are slow to. Maybe normal.

Everything I have read about the alternator on this site was you need to rebuild it, do not exchange. I had my alternator bearings going bad on mine last year and my mechanic wanted to replace, I insisted on a rebuild. Still going strong with the rebuilt alternator

I bought a new replacement on E-bay and it work flawless....Maybe a replacement could or could not be the issue. I would first check the voltage at the alternator side first while the engine is running.

I wear my seatbelt all the time while traveling.  Too bad this couple chose not to.  It may have saved a life.  Their chairs made it.

Yes always wear one. The seats are comfortable enough not to strain anybody. Plus I only drive around 300 to 400 or so miles a day and stop a few times in between for a break.

I can't count the number of big pushers that have blown by me doing 80 on my way to Florida while I'm tooling along going 63 mph pulling my big fifth wheel. Some of them pulling full size crew cab trucks.

I will be very honest. When I first bought my coach and new to RV life. I was going at the speed limit or higher just like being in my car. But after driving and reading other member posts, i slowed down quite a bit and use TPMS as a another safety feature. But at first I was guilty of being fast.

Before 6 am well outside the city so hardly any traffic.  It would still be quite dark and everyone would have their headlights on.  Deer could be active but they usually stay on the shoulder (after hopping the fence).  Looks like Northbound from the shadows.  

But to drive up the embankment far enough to hit the trees, spin a 15 ton RV 180 degrees and completely separate the house from the chassis would take a LOT of speed . . . . . I'll throw sudden cardiac arrest into the speculation pool.

Very sad indeed.  Prayers for the families involved.

Even in my own vehicles large or small, I never swerve to avoid any animal. It is just too much risk to hurt yourself in a collision with another vehicle or trees and a ditch. Insurance is cheap, but lives are not. No speculation here just some other advice at what i do.

I had a problem with mine not working either almost the exact symptoms and the Tilt steering harness for the signals and flasher was loose and not fully connected. Mine is a 2003 Monaco Windsor. So don't know if you have like a five pin connector there or not.

Sorry but here is the results of the accident. One killed and unfortunately the person was not wearing a seatbelt. Don't know if it would have helped considering the extensive damage

I just changed mine on my 2003 monaco and it is Dexron III Tranny Fluid. I bought my fluid at a local freightliner dealership.

Maybe do a voltmeter check at the signal wire on the connector when you use the flasher. Just to see if a signal is getting through.

Greg,

Great photo! I didn’t see how to remove the covers with that solid plastic ring at the top.  Assumed the wheel had to come off to get the plastic ring off to get the two cover halves off. Is there a not-so-obvious trick to getting the two cover halves off?

The covers slide down a little bit and pull out. Start with the top one first but they are easy to get off.

I am with James to. I never pulled my steering wheel. Under the plastic cover near the tilt, you can remove that and expose the wiring. On mine, you have a large connector going to you turn signals and maybe other lights like hazards like the one pictured.

My coach did the exact same thing and i took the column apart and i noticed when i tilted the steering wheel the pin connector would come loose and i would lose contact to the turn signal and sometimes it will connect depending on the way i tilt my steering wheel. What i did was put a small dab of crazy glue on each side of the connector to hold it in place. Never had a issue since.

Looks awesome. How hard was it to remove the old tiles and carpet?

Using AGMs for starting batteries is a waste of money. Two maintenance free lead acid batteries with 1200 A each is all you need.

Do you have any recommendations

Is this a good battery for replacement?
