I had my come on too with no fluid level issues but seemed to come on more when the weather was hotter and the engine was working harder climbing hills. Much less frequent it just would come. My service manager said it my just be the sensor.

Thanks for all the great feedback on this topic everyone.

 I'm looking for a black motor cover , front half, left hand side, for a Carefree 12 volt One Touch awning.  If anyone knows where I can find one of these rare parts it would be very much appreciated.

Thanks Don

Thank you, found it above the transmission.

Does anyone know where the a/c receiver drier is located on a 2002 Windsor and what the part number of it is?

Thanks

Does anyone know where the a/c dryer is on a 2002 Windsor and what the dryer filter part number is?

Thanks Don

I filled up with diesel yesterday in my 2002 Windsor and now the gauge is stuck on the far right side of full.

Any tips to get it back working?

Thanks Don

Sometimes for no reason it starts making a loud air knocking sound then it just after a period of time then will again start making the sound again. Don’t know if I should be concerned at this stage or not?

EDIT.  This recent new topic is combined with an older topic which provides more insight,  A search was done and this was the most comprehensive

Does anyone know what this black box is on the 2002 Windsor? It is mounted on the outside side of the firewall, about in the middle, above the generator. It has an electrical connection and an air connection.

Hi Paul. i have a 2002 Windsor 38 foot with 48,000 miles, 2 slides on it and is a 10 out of 10 if you are interested.

Thanks

Hi Brad, I’m wondering if you ever got your fan working on all settings? I have the same problem and need to attack it. I’m wondering what you found out that you can share.Thanks Don

Do you still need the measurements for the 02 Windsor? I have all the emblems still on mine.

Hi Ed, my 2002 Windsor takes less than a minute to air down to travel mode.

I have had this problem intermittently since I've owned the coach.  I have taken the cylinder out and completely cleaned trying to get rid of all contamination.  I have had to remove the valve block multiple times to get the lock valve free and  I even purchased a new lock valve.  

What I have found is that when I put the slide in if I continue to hold the button in it seems to purges hydraulic fluid through the valve and it reduces the chance of it sticking.

I also found that if the slide does get stuck, I can take the 2 nuts off the cylinder ram and move the slide manually and for some reason when I put it back the slide works, no idea why but this is the last thing I do before diving into the valve block itself. 

 

So don't get too excited yet as I predict the problem will come back eventually. 

This spring when I took my 2002 Monaco Windsor out of storage the generator slide would not extend despite being able to hear the electric motor and hydraulic pump running but sounding strange compared to normal operations. Bleeding lines and tapping on the valve block assembly changed nothing. We then removed the electric motor hydraulic pump unit and took it to a hydraulic repair shop where they confirmed that both sides of the hydraulic pump were putting out the required 500 psi pressure. We then disconnected the remaining hydraulic lines from the aluminum hydraulic block assembly, removed the side fittings then removed the hydraulic block assembly from the end of the ram. The fittings on the side of the aluminum hydraulic block must be removed with the block in place as there is not enough room for the aluminum block to make complete turns with the fitting in place as it won’t clear on the side of the generator. Note: Even though all hydraulic lines were disconnected from the aluminum hydraulic block assembly we were unable to move the generator slide with pry bars until the aluminum block valve housing  assembly was loosened enough to bleed trap pressure out of the ram. Only at this step were we able to fully extend the generator slide manually with pry bars. Again not an easy task with not many convenient spots to pry. Once we had the aluminum valve housing on the bench we blew the one and only valve assembly out of the aluminum housing. As previously mentioned in an earlier post, wrap the housing in a rag to catch the valve assembly or you may not find the two part valve assembly that will blow across your shop if not caught in a rag. Also note, when you manually pry the generator slide out, ATF fill shot up and out of the ram, estimated at 2-3 cup fulls of it will shot out all over the undercarriage and your floor or driveway so be prepared. Have lots of rags on hand.  We examined the valve parts, o-rings etc and could not find a problem. Took the housing and valve to the hydraulic shop.  The pros had never seen a unit like this before. Regardless they cleaned it up, put the valve back in with a little grease for installation. With the slide fully extended now we had lots of room to work on reinstalling all the components of this system. Once finished with the installation the oil reservoir was filled with a little over a quart (1.25 litre) of ATF Dextron III once all the air was bled out of the system. Upon activating the switch the slide began to move in both directions.  Note: the first time the reservoir is full run the motor for a minute or two then top up the reservoir again. After a half dozen complete in and out cycles of the slide all the air had automatically purged itself out of the system and the slide was rolling quite smooth and the hydraulic pump was sounding normal once again.Then recheck the oil level.

Conclusion: Must have been some debris in the valve assembly in the aluminum block.

Cost: 2 quartz of ATF.

Reward: My slide working again and the knowledge above to share with everyone else should they run into a generator slide not moving with the motor and pump still working.

Thanks

We have a 2002 Windsor and I’m wondering if anyone has pulled up their carpet and seen what type of wood sheeting is under the carpet?

Thanks

Does anyone have or knows where to get a Monaco chassis parts list of the standard equipment amongst the different models?

Tried to extract the generator slide for the first time this season and can hear a motor running but the slide won’t move. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Don

I tried to connect my air hose to the air supply quick connection in the top left head corner of the fuel bay in my 02 Windsor. I was able to turn the slip ring on the female end of the quick connect but it would not slip back the required amount in order for me to insert the male end of the quick connect attached to the air hoses. Moved only slightly and felt like a hard metal to metal stop. I have only had the unit a year and don’t know if it has ever been used. Any suggestions on what I’m missing here?

Thanks

Thanks Dennis

My brother-in-law is purchasing a 2003 Windsor and when we went to pick it up today the headlights were not wording but all the other exterior lights were working. The owner just changed the smart steering circuit board as recommended by a mechanic but did not solve the problem. No fuses were burnt snd the bulbs themselves were good. Any thoughts. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know why the 2003 Windsor manual is not on the monacocoach.com/rv-owners-manuals site?

I have the exact same problem on my 2002 Windsor. It was like that when we bought it this spring and I haven’t got around to it as we are living in it parked for the summer. So I’m very interested in knowing the issue myself.

I have a Frontline Type 2 Tub/Shower unit in my 2002 Windsor.  A few days ago a noticed a small leak under the metal rail on one of the glass side walls.  Day by day little by little I started to apply a silicone water resistant sealant in different locations that looked suspect.  I'm on day 5 of applying the sealant and the leak is worse now than prior to starting the apply sealant.  So I'm now starting to remove some sealant as I'm thinkin I may have sealed off important drainage point within the railing itself.  Does any know the ins and outs of the drain system within the rails so that I can better troubleshoot this issue and stop the leak altogether.  I don't want to take the panel off until I know what I'm up against.  Thanks in advance.

Hi Dennis, thanks for the advise. I had confused topics when I made the comment about everything was in excellent condition as I had two separate conversations on the go. Thanks for pointing this out as I was confused myself. We are new rvers as of this week so as I have already found out I have sooooo much to learn.
