  1. Wow!! That's a hard hit. Yes, you are correct about the possible bend in the steel tubing in the ceiling. Good news, it's all fixable. We use to say when doing steel fabrication,  "it's only steel". And yes you want someone with knowledge about Monaco construction. Try getting a hold of this rv repair/inspection specialist who runs a YouTube site called AZ Expert. I've watched a lot of his vids. He does a lot of work on the older high end coaches like complete roof replacement, delam,  and other major coach repair. He knows all about our Monaco rigs, and he can travel to you. Can probably find him on Google. 

  2. Just a coincidence. I was just reading through my Allison operator's manual for service scheduling purposes, and the read your post. On page 12 it says to not "idle in reverse for more than 5 minutes.  Extended idling in reverse may cause  transmission overheating  and damage". Sometimes we do find a situation during maneuvering that takes longer than usual. Maybe this applies to your situation.

    This also apply to idling in Drive as well.

  3. Hey guys, I'm  new to this and am really impressed with all of your knowledge and advise. Our new to us coach is a very nice low mileage '99 Windsor 40' with the ISC 330 equipped  with a Banks power pack tuned to 400hp. EGT tops at 1200 wot on a 5mi 6%er making 25lbs of boost. Coach drives and pulls hills great. In my former work, I owned big rigs with 525hp pulling 80k so I've been around that block. Question:  Will this coach comfortably pull an '02 F250 4x4 weighing in at 7300lbs. Coach is rated to tow 10,000. Doesn't have to rocket up the grades, but would like to see at least 45mph on a 6%er. Let the thoughts begin.  Thanks
