Not sure what is going on with Flying J but I steer clear. Where I live diesel is $4.82 at the Flying J while directly across the street at Marathon diesel sells for $4.10. It might be difficult to get a semi-truck and trailer to the Marathon pumps but no problem with any Class A. How do they justify a $0.72 premium?

OK - thanx!

Can you tell me how much of a discount their card offers? We're planning to hit the road again once we can get diesel for $3.50 or less.

Watching because I have the same issue with mine (2002 Signature). Neither Camping World nor my chassis guy will fix it.

I drove millions of miles in trucks, and a couple hundred thousand in coaches and by the grace of God (and good maintenance) I've never had a steer tire blowout. The results are often terrible. Thank God your friend is ok.

Following; I need one too. Just a matter of time til that heavy glass door falls off and shatters.

I replaced both 5-buttons in my Monaco, and the Coleman in my fifth wheel with Micro-Airs. Absolutely some of the best money I've spent on the coach. My fifth wheel is permanently parked on a river so I have wifi there all the time and I have a hotspot in my Monaco so I always know the status of my ACs. They work flawlessly and I love the peace of mind.

Yup - link is broken but I would love to see your new dash!

I recommend you take your coach to Barry at Josam's in Orlando if at all possible.

I'm guessing that your '03 probably uses the same key switch as my '02 Signature. I'm having much the same issue and I believe it's a faulty ignition switch. If I'm not mistaken, that switch is an off-the-shelf old-style GM. I'll have the coach back Monday or Tuesday and I'll find out then.

I got my new ones from truckspring.com as well. Very reasonable and super fast shipping. Not sure where you're home-based but if it's in the Central Florida area talk to Barry at Josam Truck Brake and Alignment for the install. A+ work and they seriously know our Monacos. Barry keeps a book for everything he's learned about our coaches because finding info on older Monacos can be quite the challenge.

If (and that's a big if) the Diplomat is the same as my '02 Signature, those bags are manufactured by Firestone and a couple others. Availability will be the bigger concern. If you still have your owner's manual the Monaco number will be listed in there and then you can cross-reference to other brands.

Just ordered two MicroAir's for my '02 Signature. I'll post pics when they are installed, along with all new ACs, in late March.

I'm with ya on the CCC2. I've seen them and am not a big fan. I'm having 3 brand new Penguin II's with heat pump installed in my Signature. Right now I've got the 2-zone 5 button in the bedroom and a 5-button with a single zone in the kitchen. Rather than buying 2 new CCC2's I'm getting the Micro-Airs. The Micro-Air is capable of controlling 4 zones so if I was a magician I could rewire the coach and have all 3 AC units running through just one Micro-Air but I've been told that the cost of rewiring the coach would be far more than the cost of a thermostat. Can anyone verify the truth of that statement?

You're in good hands there. Just had them install airbags and shocks.
