Start with the simplest solution. Like Rodger said "how much fuel is in your tank". Your generator generally stops running when your tank gets down to 1/4. So you will not be stranded.

Use one of these.

Yes I pulled the door trim back but there are no exposed screws holding the trim down

Yes, I took the screws out that are underneath the caps. But the trim is still held on firmly

This is the trim attached to th pillar between the door (on the right in the picture) and the window. I am guessing it hides whatever the front cap attaches to.

I am looking for a way to remove this trim without destroying it. Anyone with any experience with this? Any help would be appreciated.

Red is typically not a ground. On mine the red goes from the motor to the controller box

Can't tell the color in the picture. 

Mine has a fuse by the motor

I use this one for better access to the rear duall tires

I used my vise grip oil canister pliers to remove mine

Mine are from Southco. They are on their website

The deadbolt slides across into a hole in the door frame. The keyway in the outside handle causes the door handle not to work. Do you have the key for the handle? If not maybe a locksmith can try. I also see that on the picture that Ivank provided there is what looks like an electronic locking mechanism. Maybe it locks itself after a certain amount of time?

On my door if handle mechanism is locked it acts like the handle is not working.

Fuel level?

The first is a cam latch. Most likely can be found at Southco. The second is a pin switch. Can be found on Amazon and many other places

Can you post a picture of your reservoir? My reservoir dipstick is a friction fit no threads.

The simplest way is to find something that is light gage aluminum or light gage steel. Something you can cut into a square that will cover the old hole. Should be able to find something at Home depot or Lowes. While you are at the store get some aluminum tape. Cut the metal to cover the hole and tape it with the aluminum tape. That will seal it up just fine. If you want you can add some butyl gasket around the hole before you put the metal on.

I replaced mine with the Sharp® R1874T 1.1 Cu Ft Over-The-Range Microwave, Stainless Steel. It probably could have hung from the same bracket but on of the screws was stripped. Since it came with a mounting plate I replaced that also. I did it myself but would hi g hey recommend having help to lift it onto the mounting plate.

Tony, I'm a member of Local 33, Cleveland, OH.

I am with local 104 in the bay area. I recommended he try a sheetmetal shop because as you know we have some very talented shop workers who do more than just ductwork. I don't know what material his doors are made of. But mine are made from aluminum. Which a shop should be able to copy from his originals.

Contact Sheetmetal workers local 105 at 909 305 2800. They can tell you what contractors has a production shop that might do the work for you.

On mine these are not really keys. More like the lug nuts on cars that a special shaped socket matches up to. You could probably stick a pair of needle nose pliers in there and turn it.

I thought REV group shuttered Roadmaster chassis when they bought Monaco?

I found these online. I know mine are 8.5 inch round. Not sure about yours. But this site has many styles.

On my 1998 the hydraulic for the slide out is behind the entry steps. If you crawl under the steps you should see it. A motor attached to a small tank. On mine there are two fuses attached to the hydraulic wiring harness.

Also when I was working on mine it stopped suddenly and I couldn't figure out why. So I took a hammer and tapped lightly on the motor and it started working again. It is 23 years old so go figure?

A cheaper possibility is that the breaker itself may be worn out. After a few times of tripping a breaker can start tripping at less and less amps. May not be the cause but it is a simple replacement and cheap. Also like Chuck said that is a lot of hours without PM.

Tim, my Safari Gazelle has a air fitting inside the generator access door next to the front air drain valve.  I would check yours before adding a fitting. 

You might want to check that air fitting inside the generator access door. They are typically for the tow truck to put air into your system so that when you get towed the parking brake will release. As such they typically only let air in not out. At least that is how it works on my Dynasty.
