Funny thing happened on the way to the forum Caesar... came home from a wedding late last weekend to a lock cylinder that the key just turned, nothing happened.  11:30...dark but got out the drill and drilled out the cylinder until I could open with a screwdriver.

Yep after extensive searching lock is no longer available.  ODD non standard bolt throw.  I got a Schlage BN60 and have modified/mated the bolt from the old lock and finishing install this morning.  I did take pics because this is going to be a problem for others someday too....will post later.

3M 5200 and a 1 inch rivet through 1/4 inch aluminum angle brackets....4 panels 600 watts 12 years...110k miles never garaged...still tight.  😄

A few years ago I pulled into a major truck stop and there wasn’t clear signage as to which way to go. I made a split second decision and went the wrong way into a dead end. I had to disconnect the car and had a heck of time getting out of there. From then on I always look at google maps to make sure I know the layout so it’s familiar to me when I get there.

Probably that new TA at Vero Beach...I did that and ended up at the shop.   Fortunately empty an the guys let me drive through.  Not well marked.  😬

PIC sent in a message 🙂

It would be helpful and answer a lot of questions if you could post pics of the build sheets. 😊

CE is compression fittings.  You need to eyeball yours and be sure.  Pretty sure ours are PTC (push to connect) but it has been awhile since I replaced one.  Easiest to see the front one with genset extended. 😉

It is a Hadley H00450  comes with either compression or PTC  fittings.  Prices all over the place.  Part # is from the Monaco build parts for 2006 Dynasty.

My 07’ Marquis will retract the slides with engine running. This allows me to get to full ride height, then retract the slides without shutting down engine. 

As does my '06 Dynasty...nice feature.  🙂

Just checked mine...no plastic cabinet latches, the side slides do have kind a friction detent when fully opened or closed. 

Good news... the wood strip on top is wide enough that the Corian lid can not be popped up and jammed.

Bad news... there is zero access from the radio side, or the bottom.  The drawer slides in like an envelope of wood.

I have a very thin small crowbar, about 6' long.  Looks like if you had one on each side about three inches in to avoid the slides a good pop would get it open.  Don't worry about the coming off, the drawer is put together with several of those pocket screws on the sides and underneath.  One of the slides must be jammed somehow.

Good Luck

Same filters from NAPA for less $$.   Three choices in spin on  33109  5" tall...   33115  7" tall... 33107  4" Tall.   All 10 micron  7" Cummins sells as "extended life".

The above are WIX numbers NAPA just drops the first 3.  Most good parts guys/gals will know by either.  New kids like the fake parts stores, good luck.

These are all made by WIX who probably makes the Garber as well.   

Racor R12T 10 micron is a 33583

I have been using NAPA's for years.  JMHO let the filter wars begin. 😁

Are these the ones you need?

4 inch square tube 5/16 wall 11 inches tall.

Two points having had mine for 15 years now.

A)I know and saw 4x wood split...not mine

B) A friend made his 12...with just a little uneven ground one side got stuck.  Hyd jack in there to get a little lift...not fun.

C) This info for tag axle RR10 chassis only.

D) They fit neatly laid down next to the 150 gallon fuel tank so you can have fun on the road occasionally too!

Happy New Year

For the non-believers just leave yours loose,   1) run down a western mountain Jake on high   2) post the pic, cleanup mess.   Carabiner and a tie wrap snugged up will  keep it from a second event.

OR...just travel in the East and call the hills mountains and you will be fine. 😁 😃

His name is Steve "AquaMan" out of central Florida 908-875-6375. OR https://ocalahitch.com/  Hitching Post Ocala Both get high praise.  Should be able to help you or at least direct you to a shop they use for pipe work.

Will be cancelling two weeks at Curry Hammock SP... 11/26-12/10   Oceanside... my 43' fits ok a 45' would be tight on the mirrors, maybe pull back driver side.  Concrete pad, water and 50 amp. 

You need to be conversant with FL SP reservation site.  I will coordinate a cancel time but it will go fast.  PM response ok!

Thanks Mike...passed on names and number.  He has been told by some folks that the fuel tank has to be dropped in order to replace the cylinder.  They are on the road today so problem solved.   🤑

Let me be more specific...I don't think the guy owns a screwdriver.  I know about hyd shops and seals.  I am past doing other folks coaches, especially Tiffins.   So need a one stop place. Wildwood has been Lazy Days too long I think.  My first answer was Talin but he lives over on this side. 

Thanks still looking. 😎

Asking for a neighbor...bad cylinder, cracked weld, lost fluid.  Slide is in and coach drivable.  Somewhere close on Atlantic side that you have used with good results...mobile or shop.

Thanks

This link includes a link to the HWH install video, that may help.

I have used West System epoxy and 3M 5200  a lot in marine applications, don't think you will have an issue with cracking.   If you ever try to drill the stuff after properly cured you will know why...do let it set for a week or so before doing your plate rivets.  3M 5200 comes in a quicker setting formula...48 hours and is not as runny/messy as the regular stuff.  When they say "permanent" it really means it.  If you have ever tried to remove deck or thru hull fittings on a boat sealed with the stuff you will understand.  Could probably skip the rivets, but I used them on mine too.  Old aviators and maint officers like to rivet everything, feels better when the option is a long drop.😁 

I got one a few months ago from Northwest RV, lowest price, new, drop shipped from HWH.  They must know the secret phone number there that actually gets answered.  

Those are from the Monaco Fiche

Picture worth a thousand words.... Mike's video will help you decide whether you have the time/skills to do the job of install.  Or if you live a long way from Florida. 

I chose to do mine and had no issues.  The grinding of the end strip is may not be necessary because it is simply a J shaped extrusion that protects the bottom edge of the glass end wall in the OEM design.   After initially starting to grind the thing the outboard end just popped out and I pulled the strip out with Vise Grips.  I also used quick dry 5200 that is less runny and sets up in less time.  Discussed that with Chris when I did it because I have experience with 5200 in marine applications. 

My pics below BUT AS ALWAYS your trim may be different, so maybe start with a grind on the outside end first.  This piece adds nothing to strength and the whole edge will be completely encapsulated in 5200 and stainless steel when finished.  Makes the job a whole lot easier!! 

Lube well and just work it up and down.  It will free up...add to your regular lube maint list.  A very often neglected item with the reults that you are dealing with.  No need to remove that bolt...

That is one half of the connector.  It is not made to just shove wires into it.  You need the mating half to complete a proper  approved connection.
