Update. After contorting myself to see better under the dash and also cutting some wire ties to move the wire loom a bit, I see a small black speaker. I have not yet determined exactly what it is for. Possibly the air system siren while coming up to pressure. I have more work to do to try to unplug this or to remove it altogether to a place where I can evaluate things better. I will report back after doing some more research.

I replaced mine with LED strip from Amazon. This is a 12 volt light strip, so making the change is easy. Get the dimmable roll of LED and just zip tie it to the existing rope light. Works fine.

I have a 2008 Dynasty with the Kenwood KVT-M707 wide lcd monitor receiver (with backup camera) and the Kenwood LZ-702W wide LCD touch screen monitor. on a recent trip, i started getting a buzzing noise from under the dash. The noise is constant, even when the engine is not running, but increases with engine rpm, while on the road. The buzzing seems to be coming from a gray box on the inside firewall. The only way to stop the noise is to pull the radio fuse in the outside control center bay. Have any of you experienced this? If so, what did you do to correct it? Does anyone have suggestions?

2008 Monaco Camelot Awning Replacement
Doug and Nicki replied to markn91387's topic in Body, Awning, Roof, Slides, & Steps
It is likely a Gerard if it is the main powered awning. If a slide room awning, it is likely Carefree. -
Stemco is the brand, but I do not have a part number. They can likely help you to identify it.

Ramco Mirror removal
Doug and Nicki replied to Doug and Nicki's topic in General Motorhome Discussion
Thank you all for the information. I will try these things and will see what happens. -
Broken Wet Bay Handle
Doug and Nicki replied to Nevada Rob's topic in Body, Awning, Roof, Slides, & Steps
I had the same problem on my AquaHot bay. After doing research, I discovered that drilling a 1/4 inch hole in the handle in a specific location allowed me to use a screwdriver and push the latching mechanism to the side to open the door. If you want, I will take a picture after the rain stops and attach it to this post. -
generator 2003 Windsor 7500 Onan not starting,
Doug and Nicki replied to danwegand's topic in Generators
If it is an ONAN with Kabota engine, they are right on top. What makes you think they need changed? -
Had the same problem and decided to block it off between the fresh tank and the valve and just use the gravity fill when I need to put water in the tank.

Leveling systems
Doug and Nicki replied to Donflem's topic in Engine, Transmission, Engine Cooling, & Hydraulics
I assume your coach is air leveled on the air bags rather than having cylinders that touch the ground. It is fairly common to have air leaks that allow the air bags to deflate. Once your air tanks lose enough air, things will sag a bit. You have an auxiliary compressor that is supposed to keep the tanks full, but if it works, it is a noisy critter that cycles frequently. You need to have a truck chassis shop inspect for air leaks and get those corrected first. I have the same problem with my leveling system and recently had two leaks corrected, which helped a lot. The coach moving around when you walk is normal, since you are leveled on air. Some have removed the old auxiliary air compressor and installed something new that is quieter and works better. I have not done that at this stage. -

I have a 2008 Monaco Dynasty with the chrome, three glass Ramco mirrors. I am trying to remove the mirror assembly to get the arms rechromed. I have removed the bolt that is at the base of the arm on the outside of the coach. I have also removed the two set screws at the base of the mirror. Everything is stuck solid. I have put a bit of silicone lubricant in the joints and have tapped with a rubber mallet. Solid and tight, seems there may be some corrosion internally that has frozen things. Anyone have a suggestion? When looking inside the generator bay, there are two threaded bolts sticking out. It seems there should be four, but if there are two others, they are above the point of being accessed from the generator bay. I have not taken the nuts off these yet. Was hoping to be able to remove the mirror head first. Anyone have any suggestions?

Weep Hole Covers

Good to hear. I was able to get 20 or so from Atwood several years ago. I will keep this in mind when my supply runs out. -
Noise from behind dash??
Doug and Nicki replied to Bruce Hull's topic in General Motorhome Discussion
My rear camera does not have an audio. I will look into noise filters to see if I can find something that may work. I appreciate the advice, Tom. -
Noise from behind dash??
Doug and Nicki replied to Bruce Hull's topic in General Motorhome Discussion
I have the same problem on a 2008 Dynasty. The sound follows the engine RPM’s. It increases and decreases as we drive. If I remove the radio fuse, it stops. Of course, this also disables the rear camera. There is a rat’s nest of wiring up under the dash. -
I had the same problem with my 08 Dynasty last week, except it was on the right side. Your leveling valve needs replaced. There are three of these valves on your coach, one in the front and two in the rear. The rear ones are located just behind and above the drive axle. I went to a truck parts supply company and they said the valve is obsolete and was replaced with 6300BFAB13 at a cost of $127 each. However, they had only four in their warehouse and said those ones were discontinued. The only difference is the air connect ports on the replacement valve are 3/8" versus the 1/2" required to fit your air lines. I went to Fluid Dynamics and got adapters to go from 3/8 to 1/2. These are just plastic inserts. Since I am unsure whether there will be another replacement, I bought three of the four valves they had. The adjustment needs to be set with the engine running and in travel mode. The distance between the air bag mounting plates needs to be 8".

Water Pump Pulses On/Off for extremely short periods....
Doug and Nicki replied to Bob Jones's topic in Water Systems
If there is no leak in the system, you most likely have a situation where the pump is bleeding back into the fresh tank. The best way to solve that is to cut the pex coming from the fresh tank to the pump and install a Sharkbite check valve in that line. That solved the problem for me. -
Door lock ghost - 2008 Dynasty
Doug and Nicki replied to Doug and Nicki's topic in Audio, Video, & Electronics
Thanks for this information. I may have to do that as well. I will play around and see what other input I receive. If I find the solution, I will let you know. -
We have the five button door entry keypad that is on most of the Coburg built motorhomes. Lately, the door has been locking at random times, without anyone pressing a door lock button or key fob. Have any of you experienced this? If so, what did you find the cause to be?

I just had to replace my air dryer for a leak a few weeks ago. However, I could hear mine. While at it, I fixed another leak at a fitting.

Air leaking from this part
Doug and Nicki replied to Doug and Nicki's topic in Compressed Air Systems
I had time to crawl back under the RV today and get a better look at things. This is, in fact, the air dryer. I have an appointment Monday to have it replaced. I was absolutely wrong thinking this is something else. Chalk it up to a rookie error. Thanks to everyone for the input. Ivan, thanks for th picture and your insistence about what it is.
