  1. I have Williams Throttle Air Control on the foot pedal side. Please include any observations about KC-2500 “King Cruise Control” as well for any other responders. I’m trying to sort mine now and return it to function. Thx Jim 1995 Dynasty, C8.3L mechanical
  2. Team - storage Bin issue solved. I'm going to describe this in some detail so future searches might be fruitful: 1. Right Side Storage Bin Door was stuck shut. The pull handle and retractable linkage operation is intact - everything working normal. However, The Forward Latch was not retracting far enough to clear the Aluminum Angle engagement piece. 2. With me on the inside pushing out, and my friend on the outside opening the handle and pulling up, we were able to "convince" LOL the door to open. 3. Analysis: At least for this 1995 era of Monaco, every bin door is different. The backside of the door (on every door) is shifted slightly fore/aft in the frame openings; however, the "retractable-latches" operate with a fixed amount of throw. Because the doors are all uniquely "not-centered" in the frame openings, the factory did the following: they install "different/varying-length" AL angles on the frame, to "catch" the retractable slam-latch. 4. Solution: Considering all aspects of this design; the simplest modification to ensure this will not happen again, was to take a Dremel Sanding Drum, and grind-off about 1/16" of the retractable plastic tip/plunger. This allows the handle to pull/retract the pin, and clear the AL Angle catch. 5. Corollary: If you have a door bin and the handle & retractable latches are all working as intended/perfectly, yet one side is not engaging; my suggestion is to remove the AL Angle catch and add washers underneath it, so it will move closer to the retractable pin. Thanks, Jim
  3. Team - this is my first post (been lurking). I just purchased a very neatly used 1995 Monaco Dynasty, 40'. I have one storage Bin door that is engaged closed. It is a Right Side Bin, and the forward horizontally engaging retractable plastic piece is not retracting enough to "disengage" and allow the door to open. The Bin Door construction does not all access to the backside of the door latch mechanism, without cutting a hold in what looks to be a large flat index cover. Thus, I am unable to "remove" the pull handle, without cutting out a hole in the back of the door. Any ideas on how to disengage & retract this retention device? Thanks, Jim
