  1. The fan resistor should be attached (screwed into a slot) on the blower motor. If you suspect the resistor is bad is because you only have high speed on your blower motor. Locate the blower motor and you find the resistor.
  2. I am not so sure about this, Veurink's says that 2000 and 2002 Windsor are using the same exhaust muffler, but your picture shows a different one. What engine is in your coach? Thank you for the info.
  3. Gee, Thanks, I made a mistake, the price was right but the specs are wrong. I called Dynaflex, but I will need an OEM part number to have them cross out.
  4. My muffler rotted out, so I did some research and Summit racing list a muffler for my coach WKL-21969. this muffler is a little small on the round diameter, but without taking the old one apart I figure that the clamps will tight around. I was wrong. The way the clamps are installed on my coach will not adjust to a muffler that is not 11" in diameter. The intake is a little off, but it could work, The exhaust is not centered, so it all is a waste of time and $25 + in return shipment. So I am looking in the internet to a muffler with the exact dimensions and I found out this one: https://shop.findmyrvparts.com/monaco-rv-muffler-27-inch-x-11-inch-26330N-p/190242.htm?gclid=CjwKCAjw9vn4BRBaEiwAh0muDJOst9YqyIOknw_h5zUsgFwxwY-hcGpBkrINU1Vkod2hSqpKpU07DxoCIbUQAvD_BwE&click=3309&utm_source=googlebase&utm_medium=shoppingengine At $385 it is acceptable, but they want $56.00 in shipping and will not accept that I will give my business FedEx account, they could pack it and give it to them but I am guessing they making money in the shipping too. So I found this muffler: https://triplertruckparts.com/m065044-donaldson-muffler/ At $152.00 and free shipping it is much better deal. Now, I had an auto repair business for 30 years and I worked on cars for 40 years so I know that not all exhaust parts are no made equal. The life of this muffler may not be the same as the original, I am sure that will not be, but I can buy two of this one for less of one of Veuwrink's. Even though it looks pretty much like the original.. So that is my info on exhaust. I know some of you made modifications but I always tried to install original or perfect fit. William

    Hi Ivan, You got my point. You love to work on cars and hate computers. I hate work on cars I love to do video editing and video recording.
  6. For less than 100 bucks Custom instrument panel is the way to go. I had mine totally done.
  7. OK, I have no 110 volts to the whole front of the coach. The manual says that there is a circuit breaker on the curbside of the coach. In my Windsor, I think is by the inverter, to get to that I will have to empty my storage bay to get access to it. Please correct me if I am wrong. So that is a project for when stop raining.
  8. Hello all, I just got my coach back from 4 1/2 in Indiana for repairs. One of the repairs was to upgrade the TV cabinets. Unfortunately, the could not connect all TV wiring correctly. On my way back I only have a limited channels on the roof HD antenna. Today I have no power to the TV outlet. I checked the fuse on the bay by the drivers at front and the fuse is good. Anyone has any diagrams on the system? I will be very appreciative. Thanks.
  9. To all interested parties; I ran into a problem with this logo production. The price went to high for my budget, they requesting a minimum of 50 and with the tooling charge I will have to spend over $2,400.00 and I don't know when and if I will recuperated the invested money. I don't giving up, I am looking into sources in other countries, India or China. I want these logo as much as many of you, so I will keep you posted W
  10. Hello, I got the Windsor logo under production. I have to buy FIFTY of them, but for me is worth it. My cost is shied of $40.00 each, so whoever is interested please let me know. I have no clue how much will be the shipping and what I will have to wrap them so they don't get damaged in transit. I will try to sell them in Ebay later but will be at a higher priceWindsor Monaco 3D.pdf
  11. I got the pictures and I am working on it. Thank you, keep you all post it
  12. All AC units, no matter if are car's, home or RV work with the same principle. All have a pressure switch that will allow the compressor to come on if the system has refrigerant in the system, or it will shut off the compressor if the pressures are too low (not enough refrigerant) or too high (the condenser fan not working or expansion valve clogged) The easy way to check is to reach the two pipe lines that are in the unit, one skinny (high side pressure) and the bigger one (low side Pressure). If the Low side is warm at the hand touch then you system is low in refrigerant. If it is low, adding refrigerant is NOT the proper way to service the unit, if you add to little may not cool enough, if you add to much you will blow the release pressure valve at best or the compressor at worst.. System should be recovered, evacuated, a little of refrigerant oil with dye added and properly charged to the right amount. You need to find out what gas they are using on the unit, and if it an old type, how "SAFELY" can be converter to a new type. Hope it helps, but the answer is, you may be able to diagnose it, but you need equipment to service it.
  13. Hi, I am waiting for someone to send me a picture of the side logo with chrome raised letters. Once I get it I will reach to this company that I found. I will post the info if they can do it.
  14. Here are two pics of my TV cabinets Before and after. I brought my coach to Indiana for a delamination repair and to Wood Design RV for the TV cabinet upgrade. I don't have it back yet but I am exited to see it. Also I changed the instrument panel with all upgraded LED switches, and I big 10" Rear view camera.
  15. Monaco had same weird ideas about installing electronics. Why install an unprotected circuit board in a wet area? There is a few systems out there very cheap that you may be able to adapt. I will like to see how your plugs into the cables and we can make recommendations.
  16. This is a plain rocker switch. Hold down or hold up to made contacts. Newer coaches have Carling switches, Just Google the brand

    So what is yours? A Hobby for me is not a work, present or past, that I did; like working on my car is not a hobby for my. I worked as an auto technician for 40 years and I always hated to work on my own vehicles, and I still do. Wood work and I am not good at it, but I have a lots of tools. Videos, and I have a lot of tools and video editing software. I used to do boating; the name of my boat was "Moneyhole" so you can guess why I don't boating anymore. No Hunting, no fishing for me, I like to cook but my wife not want me to mess up her kitchen.
  19. To Waterskier1 Thank you for you advise; let me try to explain a little better what I am trying to accomplish with my drawing. First, I will be using the TV Hook up drawing #2.TV hook up2.pdf Where it says RCA converter is what you call it Cimple RF modulator. Why I am using RCA? Because the Video Switch box only come with coaxial inputs, so the only way I can get a feed to my rear TV is with coaxial cables. Both receivers have either RCA output or HDMI, HDMI goes to the TV, RCA to converter to Switch Box to rear TV. I don't see any other way Sounds comes out of a sound bar under the TV. You modified my schematic, but you have output from the Dish receiver but not inputs. My Tracvision will not work with Dish network. If you look my PDF, you'll see that I can use the outside source ,campground cable feed, to watch TV or a portable Dish antenna to feed my Dish receiver. To clarify: Tracvision works with Direct TV but NOT with Dish Network. I don't have a home stereo, I have a radio with a lot of speakers but they are not connected to my video system. Yes FOSMON is a switch, I knew what it was I just mentioned wrong. This is how it work: Pushing Aux2 on VSB (video switch box) I can get Direct TV signal out to rear TV, also the front TV will see the antenna feed and pick the Direct TV or I can get the HDMI 1 signal input on the front TV. Pushing Aux1 on VSB I will get Dish Network to rear TV, same as before, Front TV will see antenna feed and pushing the FOSMON switch I will get Dish Network on the HDMI 1 signal on front TV. DVD players is about the same principal. I imaging all newer coaches have all HDMI cables, but I work with what I have. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0054EILOE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. This is suppose to handle the Dish Antenna, if it does not, will be easy to replace.. I don't have subscription for any provider yet, but I will be ready for either one, or I may wait for Starlink and get satellite internet. Thanks
  20. My coach is in Indiana to have the TV cabinets upgraded. The wood work is very nice, but they failed to install "all" the components back. They toke them out and now they are scratching their heads to figure how they go back. The coaxial cables have markings from factory on them but I can't fine anywhere that information. My coach has a Tracvision R6 in motion satellite dish that only works with Direct TV, I removed the VCR and I have a DVD player (just in case), but also I have a Dish Network receiver, so what are my options? I decided to keep the Tracvision and the Direct TV hook up and "maybe" get a subscription; I installed the Dish Network receiver too and I will get a portable Dish Network antenna that I will hook it up to the coaxial input by the service bay. My new TV has two HDMI inputs so I can send all the three outputs to the TV (with one HDMI spliter) but keeping my original video switch box may no be enough inputs to feed the rear TV, so I am going to upgrade it to a 5 inputs. I made two schematics that may be useful to someone else, one with the original video switch and another with the new video switch box. I am attaching the PDF files and listing the links for the components. I will appreciate the comments and critiques. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0054EILOE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SWGSESO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XC9Y3VB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LFX1UDM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1TV hook up2.pdf TV hook up.pdf
  21. I own an Autel EVO and this thing is flawless. It has many fixtures that respond to many of the concerns that some of you have about drones. I would not say it can't crash to the side of another RV while inspecting the roof of your own RV, because I found that that nothing is impossible or it would not happen, but all "good" drones, meaning US Robotics like the EVO or the new EVO II or the DJI Magic, all have sensors that prevent crashes against obstacles. You can you full speed against a wall and they would NOT crash into. I watched the crash video, and I don't say it would not happen with mine, but the low altitude alarms will be making me crazy, so is like a pilot on a A350 wants to crash it, it will crash. Features that they have are; Low battery warning, it will come on giving you enough time to return home. Will return home on its own, just push a bottom and it goes back to the take off point. You have to watch out that usually when you hit HOME, the drone will climb up, so watch for trees. Any new drone, Magic or EVO, will follow you, driving your RV, bicycling, canoeing or just walking. Autel works with a smartphone to access all its fixtures, so be sure you have a bright screen or a sunshade cover for it. I have a dedicated Crystal Sky monitor that is super bright, but it cost almost as much as the drone. EVO has 4K with a 3 gimbals axis, EVO II has 8K with 3 gimbals axis. Do you need 8K? Do you really need 4K? Those that are into video can understand that even a 1080 would take great pictures or video, will need more post in editing but still good. 4K needs more memory card space, equals less recording time; just double that with 8K. Get more batteries. DJI just lost a lawsuit with Autel, and they can't be sold in the USA, so whoever distributor has them in stock may want to get rid of them cheap. Search in Ebay, but before you buy anything in Ebay see how much it cost new. If you get one, just watch in YouTube instructional videos, skip those "open box" video, I am sure everyone can figure how to open a box on their own, but there is many video they are very technical, specially from the manufacturers or people they use it for a leaving. You can learn how to adjust setting so you don't have a jerking motion when you make turns and your video is very smooth. How to set your maximum speed, so when you push the stick forward does not accelerate like you starting a race; EVO can reach 60 mph, so if you want to get that "cinematic" look or either be careful with your finger or you set a lower (very low) maximum speed. Some " reviewers" like captain Drone, will tell you things that are not true, so read the comments too and get the real impression from the actual users, not from those that are "thinking" to buy one. I guess you can apply this to all the YouTube reviews. My 3 cents William
  22. I just got the whole side skin replaced on my coach and the Windsor Monaco with chrome raised letters could not be saved. I may be able to have one (or more) made, but to do that, I will need one of you to take a picture of yours and take the dimensions. Who knows, if they come out good I may be able to sell them on Ebay. Thank you
