  1. I was under the impression that an A/C unit in good operating condition should be able to exchange heat temps in the 22 -24 degree range. Humidity will play a roll in the overall big picture. Lower RH conditions will be better for an A/C unit.
  2. Anyone have a name or place that has an RV salvage yard other than Visone? I have already tried them. I am looking for the passenger side fuel bay door on a 2008 Monaco Dynasty.
  3. 100% agree. The higher cost is a factor and may not be the right choice for everyone but for my application they are a great option. The attached You Tube is kind of interesting if one wants to spend 25 minutes on a video. You will never get the time back but the presentation is done well IMO. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9bAjvqym-s
  4. I don I like the air leveling but I am not a fan of the compressor coming on a few times at night. I have been chasing air leaks but I think I would have a better chance at finding Waldo. We camp in the boondocks 95% of the time. With our previous coaches we have used the hydraulic jack to help get us out of soft dirt by lifting the coach and putting rocks or boards under the rear wheels. Although this Dynasty is bigger and heavier than the previous motorhomes. I am not to sure just yet how far out into the weeds I will be will to take this machine.
  5. We just purchased a 2008 Monaco Dynasty with the Valid Power Gear air leveling system. Has anyone with the air leveling system added the hydraulic leveling system that was optional in the coach? If that is possible where or who can do the work? Thank you in advance for any and input.
  6. I just replaced all batteries on our 2008 Dynasty. ISL 425 HP. The commercial battery supplier I purchased from sells all kinds, types and brands so no sales pitch on any particular battery. My coach is in the heat of the southwest desert full time. According to the battery supplier the flooded batteries average life span here is 27 months. AGM's is 64 months. Lithium batteries are not popular here due to high heat in the summer and cold in the winter. I did the math and the AGM's all the way around made sense for me as if I miss/forget to check water level in the batteries, that will shorten battery life greatly. Since we dry camp in the middle of nowhere 90% of the time battery power is critical. Chassis batteries are 2 ea. Odyssey Extreme1150 CC @ 0 degrees AGM's and 4ea Life Line GPL-4DL for the house batteries. I went with 4ea big 12 volt over 8ea 6 volt as it was the same amp hours for less money. Higher initial cost but I am banking on the long haul overall cost in 6 years from now. Just my opion and everyone has different needs.
