First of all, thank you to everyone for your suggestions. Your support is tremendous. I crawled under again and checked all the wiring on the starter. I found a thin wire that was detached from a round eye connector that was bolted on with a small hex nut. The thin wire was shielded by a small corrugated hose. Replaced the eyelet connection and viola. The starter was back in business. Not sure how the mechanic I had look at it missed the disconnected wire. Again, thank you everyone!

Yup. Rapped it good already. You can hear the solenoid click when you activate the switch. I can hear the solenoid in the left hand engine cabinet click when I activate either switch.

We drove from San Diego to Lost Hills, pulled into Pilot for fuel and now the motorhome will not start. Dash lights on but neither front or rear starter switches work. Mechanic says must be the starter. Help please.

I have used SEM Classic Coat products with good success.

I used all the techniques suggested: vise grips, flat metal strip, crowbar wrapped around carpet for leverage and I got it all out. Thanks again everyone. Super impressed again with Monaco. These 21 year old floors look almost new.

Thank you everyone for their very helpful responses!

Ok, update. Need someone who knows how these slides work to please comment. If there is a link anywhere to a drawing of the slide mechanisms that would be terrific. So I slid a metal L square between the carpet and the slide on the inside of the coach when the slide was out. I think I located two long rollers under the carpeted area of the slide. When I retract the slide and feel around with the metal square I can no longer reach the rollers under the slide. This leads me to believe that the rollers are fixed in place to the coach and not the slide. I alway thought the roller were on the slide. Have I got this correct? The slide is affixed to the coach and the slide rolls over it?

The carpet in my 2002 Dynasty is dingy and I want to replace with hardwood or LVP. What is holding me back is what to do about the carpet that extends under the passenger side slide. I cannot get about 1 foot of the carpet under the slide out. I am thinking of cutting the carpet at the edge of the slide when extended and laying the new flooring up to the edge of the old carpet. My concern is that the old carpet might get rolled back by the slide roller as the slide moves in and out and create an obstruction. Has anyone dealt with this? What did you do? Where the heck is the slide roller located? Pics of the slide I’m talking about.

Never mind, I think it was just a bad connection with the park outlet. I swapped to a 30 amp adapter and the 30 amp plug and voila, power readings on all 4 gauges. Tried the 50 amp again and everything is fine. I noticed that the plug to outlet connection was not great due to where the 50 amp outlet was located and the cord plug tended to want to slip out. If it happens again I know where to look. Strange the way this manifested itself. I’m not an electrician but I think that only one of the two 110 volt lines was making a connection.

We are out on a short trip and suddenly we have no AC power from the outlets in the rear half of our coach. At the same time, only the lower set of Amp Meter and Volt Meter are showing a reading. Normally when either plugged in to 30 amp or 50 amp service or generating power, there is a reading on all 4 gauges. The AC outlets in the front half of the coach work. When I cycle the main 50 amp breaker on the AC fuse box I get power to the rear AC power outlets for a couple of seconds only. The breaker does not trip, but the power to the outlets stops after a second or two. I also cycled the salesman’s switch twice. Reset the breaker on the park AC post. Everything worked fine this morning before we left. Suggestions?

I would like to replace the non-slide carpet in my 3-slide, 2002 Dynasty Baroness. I have some 4 mm vinyl plank flooring I would like to use. I have a few questions I’d like some help with from those who are experienced: 1. Do I have to adjust the slide rollers after replacing the flooring and how do I do that? 2. Do I have to worry about the slide rollers marking the new flooring? Thanks in advance!

I live in Nanoose Bay, right by Parksville. Yes, we miss our Mars water bombers.

Glad these can help. I'm on the Island. You?

Michael, it’s a tedious job overall but not as difficult as it looks. Once all the wires, hoses and brackets are disconnected it isn’t too hard to pry it over the ledge and slide out into the adjacent bay. I did it easily by myself. Needed help lifting it in and out. good luck!

The replacement tank is brand new and a better design with the copper coils internal to the tank.
