That’s when production pickups (Ford anyway) first got a diesel EGR. The glorious day the 6.0 powerstroke was born. You’ll read on here sometimes Monaco had “holdover” chassis. That is they had an older but new engine/trans laying around. I know a few on here have say an 05 coach with an 03 engine.

If you can find a Hydro dip biz, they can refinish your panels very easily. https://youtu.be/vb-PH_O7evU?si=hI4zD9wmI6EGDW8q

Looks a lot like walnut burl

Here ya go. This is what Weller said I needed and it worked great. Sorry for the delay. It’s been a zoo for me last few weeks.

Sweet! We go down 2-3 times a year. Finally bought a lot a couple years back. After 25 yrs of trips we hope to build and have a winter home in a few years

You follow Havasu on FB?

My coach doesn’t have air level. I have 3 point hydraulic level. The step is maybe an 1” fatter now so not concerned with hitting anything. I’m glad yours worked out, maybe our next coach will be more user friendly.

I have both currently, combo and stackable (in different rvs) Wife is the laundry queen. 2 adults 4 dogs She tells me traveling, the combo is ok for about 2 weeks. Then she really needs to sit down and watch the machines do laundry. She says she’s ok with either set up, it’s just the obvious, you can get more done, faster with the stackable. Really I would think your laundry habits will be the thug to keep in mind. Likewise, I’ve cut vents in 3 rvs now, not complicated, but it’s a measure 3-4 times. Hitting a stud would be awful,

I’ve had dash cams in the past, didn’t on this rig. Trooper asked me what happened, I explained my take on the events, he said “this is your side of the story?” I said well, his duals left skid marks in my lane when I hit him, step out and see. He said “case closed” We did distract ourselves yesterday on the way home. With the F150 totaled and I believe the Jeep will be as well, we stopped in to see if my wife liked the interiors of the new Jeeps. Well, she did. She spent 2 nights trying to find a truck to replace hers and they have just went nuts price wise. We could buy 2 of these for the same price as a new truck like she had.

Thanks everyone, sorry Tom, I’ll get back on topic. I’ll search over pics of wreaked rigs, I appreciate everyone insight

Never hired a lawyer for an accident but being told over and over I should. Tore my knee on top of the regular aches and pains from being hit

Thanks everyone, As far as the accident, we were headed north on Hwy 95 about 40 mil out of Hawthorne, where we were stopping for the night. Was driving along and saw 3 semis in a row. The last one came over into our lane to pass the other two. I moved over has fast as I could, hit the gravel and as the truck was going by us the edge pavement must have caught the jeep and we veered out of control and hit the trailer axles head on. It spun us around and snapped the hitch so the jeep came around and stuck the passenger side as well. 2 trucks left, the one that hit us went 1/2 mile and couldn’t go any further as we broke his axles from the frame. Jerk (I’m being nice) never got out of his truck to even see if we were alive.

Just looking for anyone in an S chassis who’s been in or seen one wreaked. I guess it’s your time it’s your time. We are just shook up and wanting to make sure we are trying to keep as safe as we can

Yeah we are looking at 40-42 tag. Kinda our last coach Likewise, I’d think so as well. I’d like to see or talk to anyone first hand.

Our most recent trip, I’m still technically on it, our coach wasn’t of the shop. We had a full schedule of jeeping so hooked it up behind the pickup and rented a house in AZ We totaled the truck last night and now are more serious about a coach, bigger, and safer than our Dip. On the S chassis coaches, who has been or seen one after an accident? There have been some posts here where it looks like the house detached from the frame in an accident with RR chassis Any thoughts? Our nighttime driving days are officially over. thanks for any insight.

Sad to see it go, hope you’re feeling well.

Yes, large nut just goes around the whole unit on the back side . Screw it off and disconnect wires. Take it parts store

Yeah it is vintage Chevy. Sorry I don’t have my coach with me. Someone will know more as far as part numbers. I have a Napa one in a drawer if my coach

There is an outfit in Prineville Or that makes them. You can find their Facebook pages as well. Search this site and you will find threads Just found this
