We picked up this coach in late February 2021 and have spent long hours getting familiar with systems, changing fluids, belts, filters.  Lately I had searched my owners manual for the location of my pump and reservoir location.  Manual stated it was in the drivers side compartment just behind the rear tire.  Well no compartment there, my side radiator occupies that space.  
I researched all the forums, downloaded information on Monaco coaches 2004-2006 with similar equipment.  I was able to locate the pump and reservoir in the generator bay buried between the headlights and the step motor mechanism.  I added dextrin III per instructions in owners manual, 1/2 quart.  This solved my issue of bong alarm activating on rough roads and sharp turns.

I hope this information helps someone with similar issues.

Yes, correct. My leveling system.  It wasn’t a test, but I failed to read my post before I sent it.  Thanks for figuring it out so quickly.

I think I figured out what you were referring to...  the leveling system?

On our coach there is a electric switch in the bay that turns the gas valve on and off. It sometimes shuts off on its own. Appears you have a couple of wires coming off your valve. I would see where they lead you.

Possibly he over filled tour tank?  I think I would try closing the valve and open it very slowly.  Bleed all air out of lines, try lighting the stove first. I believe those wires are just your gauge that tie back to your monitoring system

Just noticed the wires ncSteve was referring too.  Yes, you need to figure out what operates that solenoid.  Probably should know anyway

You might want to check that air fitting inside the generator access door. They are typically for the tow truck to put air into your system so that when you get towed the parking brake will release. As such they typically only let air in not out. At least that is how it works on my Dynasty.

You are correct, I have that fitting as well as an air fitting for general purpose use and a drain for removing moisture from the tank.  I use this frequently, Monaco provided it from the factory, I read somewhere all couches are not built the same.  I would have thought they all should come with that feature.  Mine has a compressor driven from my C9 Cat not an auxiliary compressor, not sure about Dynasty.

Tim, my Safari Gazelle has a air fitting inside the generator access door next to the front air drain valve.  I would check yours before adding a fitting.

I see on the schematics a switch but I don't know where that switch is at. I'll be playing "where's waldo" tomorrow. 

My 05 Safari Gazelle has a key pad by the entry door.  I believe it is directly behind in the wall, but I am not really sure.

Wow....that key must have been poorly made or had some physical abuse done to it in the past.

I would have never though that a barrel key would break like that.

Thanks for the photo.

I think it was just pressed in with nothing holding it secure.

Are they electric locks or sensors to Alert yiu a door is open before you drive off? Mines not upper crust so don’t have them but heard others talk about them 

Mine are Tri-mark locks, they are available on Amazon.  I am not sure how to match the locks to the remotes.  My controller is in the space under passengers cup holder.

How did you break a barrel key and what part broke?

The tee handle separated from the barrel, so I brazed it back on.  It won’t break again!

Can anyone take a picture of the 12v fuse and service label mounted next to the 110 breaker panel? The current one has gotten messed up and is unreadable. I have a 05 Ambassador. Thank You.

This is my 05 Safari Gazelle. It should be similar!

I recently purchased a spare key on Amazon.  It works great.  It was a good thing since my original key broke soon after!

This is a good opportunity to remind coach owners that when they are picking up their coach after having work done, to take a test drive with the shop foreman or technician before paying the bill.  That way any questionable items can be addressed.  Otherwise you are going to get the used vehicle salesman guarantee, guaranteed until he sees the taillights leave the driveway.  Chuck B 2004 Windsor

Good point!  I will remember that.

Wait... what?   The roof A/C's have drain hoses?  Both mine seem to run across into the roof gutter.   That's not normal? 

Many air conditioners drain into a small pan, then the drain hose is routed to the rear o bedroom unit and near the front of the coach for your front unit.  Your drain pans may be plugged if it runs across the roof.

Sorry, I do not have much to add to the post.  Just for reference my CAT C-9 constantly runs at 198 deg. I do keep it between 55 and 60 MPH, but haven’t subjected it to high ambient temperatures or steep inclines. 
 

please post the resolution after you figure it out.

Thanks
