I’ve seen bikes mounted on the front of the Rv. 

The phone number on their website does not answer or didn’t today.

So yesterday I needed a part for my 09 Monaco Knight 41 DFT. 

I went to the phone number I used successfully before no results. Tried the 800 number with no results. Looked at their website and tried that number, no response. SO has anyone contacted them lately and would share that phone number. I was unable to find the part I need on their website. 

Thanks for your help, Jim McFarland

Call Northwest RV Supply at 866-678-7467 and talk to Niabi.  She and the other employees are very helpful.  It is my understanding that the purchased all the left over parts from REV before Orgeon was shut down.  Their email is nwrvsupply.com

Hope this is not a repeat.  I tried to send a response earlier today.  According to my ac guy, if  you have had your original roof top AC units replaced without having a pump installed in the new unit it will not go out the original condensation drain lines.  Unfortunately he did not share this with me until both new units have been installed.  I have condensation running off all over the place.  Now he said that the pumps can be installed but of course at an additional price.  Haven't asked how much that would be.

I have s steering stabilizatior on my coach and to me it has made a world of difference (the great way).

Jim

Mine works going down the road or with the ignition off. As the sun comes up or begins to set, you can adjust the shade to keep the sun from our eyes. It would appear that ours is powered through a wire that is continually hot to the switch.

Glad you found the problem and was able to make the repair.

Jim M

Probably a dumb response but it really sounds like you may have accidently hit the dis-connect switch.

It’s my understanding that most states require that the toads  have their own braking system activated when braking the Rv. 

Jim M

Gary, please post your findings, I would appreciate it.

Thanks, Jim M

I'm told that the front is a different height than the rear.  I think my 09 Knight is setting 9" on rear and 11" on the front.  btw do you think this adjustment post is applicable for all Monaco's?

I have a 09 Monaco Knight and all my paper work show ours to be a road master frame. 

Jim

Do you have rear slides and do they work?  Several years ago I had the same problem and I called Monaco (back when you could get help on older models)  There is a 5 amp fuse in my battery bay that had blown.  The signal from my control for the slides goes through this fuse.  I had a 09 Knight DFT so maybe that could be your problem.

Jim

There is supposed to be a manual way to put the slides in, however I have never had to do it so I don't know this method.  Maybe so one will chime in that has put them in manually.  Hope you are able to make your appointments.  Travel safe.

Jim M

Great idea astgerma. I may do that to mine. 

Jim

Good to know.  Typically how long will the house batteries last while running the AC. 

jim

Will the inverter power an Ac?  I thought it required either shore power or the granny. I’m pretty sure that is the requirement on my coach however I do not have a residential frig. 

I cut the right hand flange on my 09 Knight.  After doing the work on the back side, I put a screw under the back panel to hold it level then screwed the flange back in place (just for looks).  It works just fine.

Hope what I’m gonna say is ok on this forum—here goes anyway. Join FMCA or Good Sams, then join a local chapter. You will meet some of the finest people you could hopefully meet plus they are friendly. Usually the have a 3-4 day trip each month (weather permit) and it’s usually rather close and it’s just plain fun. My wife and I don’t get to travel all that much but these short trips are a blast. Be safe, Be Blessed and most any trip is worth taking. 

Jim

Awesome. Thank you

I have a 09 Knight and ended up cutting the flange of the white panel on the south end. Couldn’t get to the stuff in the back of the panel until I could put it toward me. 

good luck.

Are u talking about the house or chassis batteries?  i think the dash runs off the chassis batteries so you may need to check them.

Does this document give any hints or suggestions regarding tuner use in a Monaco engine?  Do any of you use a tuner to increase horsepower or mileage on your rigs?  I've heard pros and cons regarding the use of tuners..  Any ideas?

OOPS  Should have been a Cummins engine in a Monaco coach
