  1. If you look up at the bottom of the lower mirror there should be a label with Monaco and Velvac part numbers. Jack McCollough at Pacific RV Mirrors is THE place for Velvac. Just replaced mine.
  2. My arms cracked so had to replace the whole assembly. These have the LED arrows in the mirror and pigtail for the arm mounted turn signal as well. All motors work correctly I would call these 8/10 for appearance, a few minor scratches. These were on 2030 bases but will fit other Velvacs with the stem base and set screws if you want to upgrade to these. The LED arrows are brighter than the picture, I was holding a 9volt batt just to show that they light. $150 with shipping and insurance. New ones are $450 Passenger side available too.
  3. Often the vendor number is correct minus the xx- that was added in the Monaco system.
  4. Cords can get tangled in the tracks...ours did too. Cut cords at both ends pull them out of track. Add hanging plastic pull rods so you can easily reach over dash, problem solved. Works so easy you will wonder why you used the yank the cord thing all these years. Amazon curtain pull wand.
  5. IF you have checked all of the above suggest you replace the starter solenoid before the starter. High energy contacts in there get pitted over time just like in the Big Boy. Whole lot less $$ than the starter motor. Any good starter/alternator shop will tell you brushes and solenoids go way before the starter motor...if you can find one these days.
  6. Two L angle brackets...pop riveted to metal case, drywall screws into overhead. 🙂
  7. One on each end of that shaft. You got the easy one, feel around on the outer end of that shaft. Squeeze gently listen for grease, too much and you may have it dripping on shoes/drum. Lots of folk miss those, even "techs" at Petro...arrrrgh
  8. Have had this for yeaaaaaaars, never found time or need to build. Good luck, and IF you build and it works please post results for all. 🙂
  9. If using Firestick or FireTV go through the set up screen before you buy the soundbar...not all are compatible. They may still work via Bluetooth but you will end up with another remote for sound. Steaming with Visible for 5 years, mostly good experience, using Weboost and PdaNet. Just got a T-Mobile Home internet for $50 month, working well so far in FL..summer trip coming soon, we'll see, super speeds: 80mb+, 30mb when deprioritized.
  10. DS electrical boards in bedroom...10amp 😊 Marked 'TIOLET" fancy Monaco name for Toilet...mine was a special order though. 😁
  11. Click on "Surco Store" in the Amazon link then Ladders >RV... several styles and lengths there. Should be something that works for you.
  12. Drill the rivet, those doors are assembled when warm out of the molding machine. After they set and cool chances of getting them apart without breaking the hinge pins are about zero...then you will have more paint work. Photo matching after 10 years is better than codes at a good paint shop.
  13. Sorry...thought you were posting pics of the new ride.
  14. Looks like a mod from the PO, including the glue on tank sensor system. Stock, if there really is such a thing, is rinse on top of black tank only.
  15. X2 but make it 20 years...they used to have only small beads PITA. Big beads are trouble free. Also had them in motorcycle tires...They just plain work.
  16. Been running those for 18 years, thre coaches...replace at about 6 plus years, my NAPA guy gives thm to poor folk for salvage value, $20.
  17. http://catscale.com/how-to-weigh/ Unless you weigh and adjust tire pressure according to the tire Inflation charts you are only guessing. Five pounds too much can be be felt in ride and handling on steers, rears not so much feel. $13 on a CAT scale... weigh, go park go inside and pay...do not park on the scales. Tip ... Push the button, They speak Chinese..."firsway? reway?" Means... First Weigh or RE-weigh You of course are first weigh...Truck number..any thing you want use 3 digit 123 678 whatever. When you go to fuel desk Just say scale ticket truck # 123 company is Private... Pay you$$ and go check your tire inflation chart like this one https://commercial.firestone.com/content/dam/bcs-sites/bridgestone-ex/products/Databooks/TBR/Firestone-TBR-Load-And-Inflation-Tables-08-07-2018.pdf Maybe not as good as 4 wheel weigh but certainly better than guessing, air ride coaches seldom vary side to side more than 100 pounds per a guy who does 4 wheel weighs.
  18. https://legacyhydraulics.com/products/ These guys have a lot of stuff, good phone help, fair prices...NOT RV, MARINE, AIRCRAFT type pricing$$$$$.
  19. Smith method of truck driving...make you own bubble of space, adjust as necessary. Nothing more valuable than the real estate in front of you.
  20. Just left this morning...I teach for RVdriving school.com. Seven couples since last Wed...about 80 miles each in SOB's. So glad to knock down 250 in the Dynasty getting back to Gainesville. For the record I would not trade ours for any of the bumpy, noisy, harsh ride, wind noise, coaches I rode in for a week. I love my Dy!!!!
  21. Try the simple stuff first. The flasher relay is mounted on the right hand side of the FRB looking in. It vibrates loose and needs to be pushed down into the socket. Secure it with a wire tie around the relay. Hope it is that easy for you, but I have "fixed" this issue on at least four '06 Dynastys after finding it on mine years ago.

  22. Florida Detroit Diesel/Allison right across the street from Cummins Ocala...super shop!
  23. Cummins Ocala, not cheap BUT lots of Monaco experience. Hookups for overnight if you need it.
  24. Straight up above the starter. Good idea to wrap the terminals on starter with rubber electrical tape. After about the third time changing it gets pretty easy, still a stretch, but you know what's going on by feel...EYE PROTECTION!!!
  25. Can we assume you checked fuses? FRB and they are marked PS act //DS act for driver side, passenger side actuators...until you blow one you would probably not know what those markings are. Pretty sure the fob box gets power off ignition and the fuses are only from the actuators. Been a while since I dealt with that issue. After you get things working suggest you fashion a wire from the actual lock behind the black cover down to the bottom of the door so you can open when the handle breaks on those pantographic door. I used coated fishing leader wire with double ferrules. A loop at the bottom taped to the door below the weather seal will give you access for the next great event. Especially for the utility bay so your departure is not delayed, or any other door that you can't crawl through. I did all of mine as unloading for the crawl is a major event, very entertaining for other campers. Test them ahead of time to make sure ferrules don't slip it takes a really good pull to release, eespecially if an actuator is binding.
