  1. did you end up selling the rv5036. We are needing one for parts for ours. Willing to pay for shipping or drive depending on where you are at. We are in Georgia
  2. Our 2006 Camelot 42 DSQ is experiencing the same issue, with the help of @Scotty Hutto (thanks again Scotty) he helped Ted narrow down that it is one of the 2 things mentioned. @TedZimmer will be attempting the end of the plug replacement praying that is all it is, if not then off to option 2 while on a 5 week vacation in the NorthEast, a temp line bypassing the reel, which just had its gears rebuilt 2 months ago and a WD combo installed on top of what would have been easy access to the reel location (back of our full bathroom towel closet that was plumbed for the W/D). Of course the leg that is out is the one that feeds 2 of our 3 ACs (the front ones), but at least we have a nice cold bedroom. Power works perfect when on Gen so that helped narrow it down to the power cord.
  3. so we purchased the Firestone 9335 12 volt aux air compressor. Ted got it all installed and great news....it shut off like it should and no air leaks in the side of it like the original one did....so that was step 1. Bad news after a few hours it has to kick on and seems like it is running for too long 15 to 20 mins to shut off again. Back under the coach Ted goes with the spray bottle with soapy water ted goes....found bubbles in 2 places so the next few days he will replace those fitting and see if it stays off for longer then the 2 hours. Question for those that their aux compressor is working. How often does yours kick on when out camping? How long does it run when it does kick on? crazy thing is that we have been in level mode for 2 weeks before we replaced the aux compressor and it has not leaned at all (like it had in our previous post). I had done some research on the compressor and found a beaver site where they say that if it gets cold out their beaver looses air and will lean...it has warmed up in Georgia to the point it has not been below 40 and when we had the lean it had been down in the 30's. Just wondering if anyone else has a lean when it is cold? Thanks to everyone for suggestions and comments, we are coming up on 2 years of owning our 2006 Camelot 42 DSQ and love it. Getting the aux compressor working has been on the list of things to do so happy we are close (hopefully) to achieving that. Got new blinds while at the FMCA rally super excited about that. Just purchases a LG washer/dryer combo to put in the full bathroom (it was factory set up for it but original owner did not opt for the install), we will loose a cabinet but going to be worth it. Cant wait to muscle that beast (160lbs) in the front door and back 43 feet then lift it up 1.5 feet and get it in the space.....i will leave that for another post, and not talk about the fact is is 23.4 inches wide and by removing the trim on our full bath door we will have 24.4 inches to navigate through. Thank you again! Stacy & Ted
  4. The arrow in the aux compressor is where a leak is. Which does not make sense because that is just a bracket to hold it in place it looks like. Guess we will see when we pull it apart to install the new one
  5. not to sound dumb but can you explain the theory behind why having air leaks is not the root of our issue. last year we had an issue with 1 connector that when in travel mode the air would go out in less then an 5 mins making it not drivable, tech found the bad plastic connector, replaced it with a brass connector (this bad one was at the rear of the coach) and back in business no issues. As preventive when in having service in October we had them change out the other plastic connectors. Now 5 months later travel mode still works great, it can sitting in our drive way in travel mode and not lost any air in the bags. We go to a rally last week, arrive, go to level mode (we are air level only no jacks) come back 3 hours later leaning to the driver side. Turn on the coach and air up stay in travel mode for , no leaning. Think that maybe because it was cold the first few days maybe that cold caused an air leak at a fitting or o ring, go to level mode and within a few hours leaning to the driver side. So far Ted has sprayed down the driver side front airbag, no leak there, today he will continue his spray and search mission. We have had our Camelot for going on 2 years and this is the first diesel we have owned (previous 2 were gassers) and very first experience with airbags and air leveling. Just trying to better understand the coach and how this system works. We have looked over the file I am attaching to this message as someone else recommended it to us but we are still trying to wrap our heads around this leaking, tanks and fittings. At the Monacoer rally in Tampa this year they discussed that all systems will loose some air, Dave said his Foretravel looses some over time but we know something is going on and there was a reason the previous owners had the fuse pulled for the accessory compressor (that was leak #1 Ted found). So we are going to replace it. I know Scotty said we could rebuild it but we had had no luck finding any part diagrams for the original Power Gear accessory compressor. We appreciate all the knowledge in this group and are sponges ready to absorb the recommendations of the group. Ted did take video showing the compressor and leak but cant get it to upload to the site, if it is helpful we can put them on our private youtube channel and post the link here if anyone thinks that will help in the trouble shooting of the issue Monaco - Air Schematic 1.pdf
  6. 2006 Camelot 42 DSQ losing air on driver side only in the system within 3 hours when parked and in level mode. In travel mode no issues. (Travel mode had the issue last July which was a air leak at a connector so we had all of those connectors replaced with brass fittings ) HWH leveling system with a power gear accessory air compressor(that has not worked in the 2 years we have owned it, never leaked prior to two weeks ago). Accessory compressor has its fuse pulled, if you put it in the pump just runs until it blows the fuse. The hunt for the air line leak begins. So Ted Zimmer wanted me to post this and see if anyone has any advise or has had this before. Safety 1st built 2x12 step up ramps yesterday. First air leak found in 2 minutes. See the photos it is at the accessory compressor at the side. Been looking online for a parts list for the power gear 501184 compressor to see if there is a gasket where the leaks is. No luck anyone have a link to the parts list or know if there is a gasket. Second leak found a few mins later. At the front air tank anyone replaced this fitting. Tried to put a wrench on it but nothing fit where it leaks is at the swivel of the fitting. So replace it ? Anyone have a part # for the fitting. It was getting dark so he stopped looking after these 2 leaks. Will finish testing all the fittings tomorrow hopefully just these 2 leaks Any and all advise appreciated.
  7. I will have our 4 door jeep so i can take 3-4 (depends on how close the back seat passengers are comfortable with ). The winery is nice and she will enjoy the strawberry market.
  8. We replaced the clock spring to find out it was our vip control module. 2006 Camelot 42dsq
  9. Thanks Scotty for posting this. Ladies let us know if these are things you want to do. Or if you have suggestions on other things let us know.
  10. until

  11. Our mechanic just talked to his battery rep at interstate and said the only difference we would see if the maintenance and price. Nothing else to benefit so we stuck with normal 6 volt and replaced with 4 , deep cycle 6volt regular batteries.
  12. Look at Talin RV in Florida. He is a Monaco owner and owner of Talin RV, he created a system called guardian plate for the Monaco’s that do this. Which is pretty much all of us original (2009 and earlier ) as there was a design flaw that allows water intrusion in our slides. at the Monacoers gathering this past week he gave a seminar on it. They are a great source of info regarding the issue abs ensuring you fix it not just patch it
