Usually when a pump doesn't start it's either the armature is bad, or the pump impeller is sticking. You could try taking it apart to see if it spins freely. I saw on IRV2 that lots of the newer Newmar and Entegra folks are having pump issues. One of them posted an alternative pump that is much cheaper.

The 2002 Windsor is a great coach. They are getting difficult to find. It is built on the Roadmaster RM8H chassis and does not have the trailing arm issue. In 2002 it will have the Cummins ISC 350hp engine. Some folks prefer the slightly newer coaches with the 400hp Cummins ISL. Whether to buy it or not depends upon condition.

Monaco diesel coaches came with furniture made by Villa International.

Many of the early coaches came with the large "8D" deep cycle batteries. They rarely last more than 3 years and are expensive as well difficult to handle. I replaced ours with Trojan T-105 GC-2 size golf cart batteries. They are heavy duty 6-volt batteries designed for constant discharge/charge. Our last set lasted almost 10 years. You will need four GC-2 6volts to replace the two 12v batteries. Make or purchase two small jumper battery cables to go from + on one to - on the other so they form two 12volt pairs.

Great find. What a beautiful coach! Our 2004 has Bendix® ADB22X air disc brakes. Attached is the Bendix service manual. Hope this helps. Bendix ADB22X Disc Brakes (Front).pdf

Some suggestions. Make sure you're stopped or under 5mph, neutral or 1st gear, and house power on. Also, it may not visibly lift the axle. It may just barely take the weight off. From the manual: The tag axle raises in the following modes: • Interior house power must be ON. • When the switch is on and the transmission is in Neutral, Reverse or First Gear. • With the tag axle in the up position there is not a specific height requirement other than the tire should be off the ground. Tag Axle Switch On: • The tag axle switch supplies 12 Volt DC to the air valve located at the roadside rear. • The rear air valve applies air pressure to both tag axle lift chambers to raise the axle. • Air pressure in the tag axle air spring is released. The tag axle remains up in reverse, neutral, first gear or until the switch is turned off. Adjusting the tag axle load: Changing the amount of weight carried by the tag axle affects weight distribution between the tag, drive and steering axles. The amount of down force applied to the tag axle is controlled by the amount of air pressure in the tag axle air bags. An adjustable pressure regulator located in the engine compartment sets the amount of air pressure in the tag axle air bags. Regulator pressure is preset at the factory and may require adjustment to obtain the proper weight distribution on all axles. To determine the correct setting of the pressure regulator, weigh the motorhome after it has been loaded for travel. NOTE: The tag axle pressure regulator valve is located in the engine compartment on the roadside.

IF the under slide lights are controlled by the CCM, then there may indeed not be a fuse. Quote: The CCM uses electronics for current limitation of circuits rated up to 12 Amps. Any circuit rated 12 Amps or less, in many instances, will be fused electronically instead of by a mechanical fuse or circuit breaker. When a command is given to turn on a specific circuit (fog lights for example), the CCM will continually monitor the fog light circuit to prevent overload, such as a short circuit to ground. If an over-current condition should occur (short), the CCM will electronically turn off power to the circuit. The CCM will log the fault into memory and that information can be retrieved by a service technician. When the problem is corrected, the circuit is automatically reset through electronics.

I don't think there are any waterlines running through the floor. Could the water be coming from and adjacent sink cabinet or shower? Or maybe the wet bay is under this portion of the floor. Have you checked the basement under this area? There is an accumulator under there as well as the pump and storage tanks.

Turn on your Aqua Hot diesel switch and let it run through a complete cycle. Then check each zone for heat as well as hot water. After that check your lights.

I had a shock stud break on the left rear. I drilled it out using a small diameter cobalt bit and then opened the hole up using a carbide burr. I then used a grade 8 bolt and nut with a spacer to mount the new shock. That should work on yours. However, it's difficult to understand how the original air bag could survive almost 20 years of rubbing and just now fail. I would inspect both upper and lower mounts to see what has happened and certainly install a new shock. Good luck!

Yes, Twomed has the easiest idea. Paul W first told me about it, and it works well. I fill the tank the day prior and overnight the water in it warms up to basement temperature. Then this basement wate rtank water mixes with the Aua Hot to make warmer shower water. Also, your electric element will raise the Aqua Hot reservoir by an additional 10 degrees but it takes a couple of hours.

Can you replace it with a small LED dome light? https://www.amazon.com/Ceiling-Fixture-Camper-Trailer-Marine/dp/B0B2T18LKD/ref=sr_1_3?crid=P94RIUY7YSK2&keywords=small+12v+rv+light+fixture&qid=1673549299&sprefix=small+12v+rv+light+fixture%2Caps%2C212&sr=8-3https://www.amazon.com/Ceiling-Fixture-Camper-Trailer-Marine/dp/B0B2T18LKD/ref=sr_1_3?crid=P94RIUY7YSK2&keywords=small+12v+rv+light+fixture&qid=1673549299&sprefix=small+12v+rv+light+fixture%2Caps%2C212&sr=8-3

The 2006 Monaco Signature calls for 9" between air spring mounting plates (diagram on page 300). This height should be maintained within ¼ inch. Like Don said, the 2008 owners manual does not list the details that are in the 2006 manual. Adjusting Ride Height Preparations to adjust the suspension ride height: • Park the motorhome on a fl at, level surface. • Fully charge the air system. • Turn ignition on. • Ensure suspension is at normal ride height. • Ensure air level system is in travel mode. Start by checking the distance in the front. 1. Measure the distance between the mounting plates of the air springs. 2. If the measurement is off, loosen the adjusting lock nut at the eccentric slot on the valve. 3. Move the plastic arm up to raise suspension height and infl ate all the front air springs. Move the plastic arm down to lower suspension height and defl ate the air springs. Make adjustments in small increments. 4. After obtaining the specified distance, insert a 1/8" or 7/64" twist drill bit into the plastic arm and valve body. This will center the travel of internal piston. Tighten adjusting lock nut between 60 to 80 in/lbs. 5. Check adjustments made by using the Air Dump switch to deflate air springs. Start the engine and allow the air system to become fully charged. Allow the suspension to adjust and come to a neutral setting. 6. Re-check the suspension height measurement. Follow the same procedure for each rear control valve. 7. Re-check the front suspension height after adjusting the rear height control valves. NOTE: DO NOT modify length of the linkage rods. Make necessary adjustments using eccentric slot on the ride height control valve.

I'm sorry to see such a grand coach go. Monaco Signatures are such great coaches. I hope your insurance company is better than most.

I'm not certain on the year, but Cummins went to an electronically controlled fan in the early 2000's. Our 2004 uses a Sauer Danfoss electronic fan controller. It takes input from the engine ECU. Great idea but they often fail. The real problem is new electronic fan controllers are not available. I converted our system to a Sauer Danfoss mechanical wax valve from White House Products in England. This is a link to a very long thread on IRV2. It has great info with pictures. https://www.irv2.com/forums/f115/fan-stuck-wide-open-376611.html Attached is a picture of the OEM Sauer Danfoss electronic fan controller.

More than likely your pump needs a new shaft seal. I had to replace the seals on our hydraulic pump. The rebuild kit was only $18. Call Gary with the model number. He has rebuild kits in stock. He can even rebuild your old pump or send you an already rebuilt pump. Gary Manchester 7315 W. Wilson Ave. Harwood Heights, Ill. 60706 ph: 708-887-6320 Fax: 708-887-5009 manchester@qccorp.com

I would want to know more about why the pump cannot be rebuilt. Is it because they do not know how, or that the pump has severe internal damage. Most of these older pumps were well built and just need a new seal kit.

A 2005 Holiday Rambler Navigator is built on a Roadmaster S Series chassis. The chassis was probably built the previous year. These were transition years and it may only have the 6 pin connector under the front dash.

I updated our old Trace Freedom inverter to a new Magnum and found the old temperature sensor was not compatible. I've left the temp sensor unplugged for the last couple of years with no problems. I spoke to the Magnum tech guy and he also said no problem. If you choose to install the new Magnum inverter you will also need the Magnum remote. You will have to install a new RJ11 phone plug with reversed polarity on one end. I changed the cable end up inside the coach as it's easier than laying on your back in the basement. You will also need to install a new longer ground cable from the inverter to the frame rail in the basement.

The issues I had with the cover were installing it and removing was tough for one person. It is hard to climb that ladder carrying the large cover. Forget it if the wind is blowing. When removing it you have to pull up all the sides and roll it up on the roof. It is also very hard to get the front door open without partially removing the cover. The other issue is the covers do not last. I had two covers warrantied because the fabric would not hold up in the sun.

Has anyone tried to retrofit an RV VIP Smartwheel system? It was used through the 2008 model production.

Not sure I understand. Your Patriot should have come with Villa International seats and furniture. However, depending on when it was built, there were some years with poor quality seats. The original Villa seats in our 2004 Signature were terrible. I replaced them with new Villa seats and they look great but my wife complains they are to firm. The Aladdin system uses old RCA cables and connectors. The connections are prone to oxidation. Use some Hosa DeOxit to clean all the connections. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006LVEU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Make sure you're not confusing the 120v engine block heat with the Aqua Hot engine preheat. The switches are generally right next to each other.

I replaced ours with this. Cut to fit. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HSF64JG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
