It is not a conundrum. 7 years from date of mfg  not date of install. If you save hundreds of dollars and take the gamble and one blows it will cost multiplayer thousands to fix the body damage And suspension damage. If a steer tire it may cost your life

Call source engineering in Oregon and get the Thermal valve kit they Mfg for Monaco. Best thing I ever did for my Signature 

The traveler is a great set up. I’ve had it for 3 years. I converted mine from Direct tv to dish network 

You need to convert the Shaw dish and LNB to Dish hardware and then it will connect

Silicon spray. It does not attract and hold dust and debris. Insure it is 100% silicon

The stay in 6th gear setting gives you the most control. If the Jake is not holding you at a safe speed on a hill simply apply brakes to drop the RPM to about 1400 and down shift to 5th. On my 45' Signature the Jake will hold me in 6th on most hills that I run into in the mountain west. Your lighter 36 coach with a 400 should do about the same. The Jake brake is far superior to exhaust brakes that many coaches have.

On my 06 Signature I was able to open the adjacent swing up door and drill a 1” hole in the side of wet bay door. Then had a piece of aluminum long enough to reach the mechanism. Drilled 1/2 hole in the aluminum piece put it over the square brass adjuster and pulled to make it release. Found the little metal clip that came off replaced it lubed all and no issues since.

Had the same issue last year. If you want to PM me your cell# and I will call you to describe how I fixed it 

My bad, I used the term toe and I meant Camber. Chuck B is correct.

My experience with that type of wear on the outside shoulder would be that side is toad in. Only way to know for sure is alignment check and the adjustment for tow angle made.

I can say that my 06 Signature has a Traveler Power antenna and when I bought the coach I had to change the dish and the LNB arm. Worth the cost as I would not have Direct TV as a gift. You would have to speak to Dish about the mogul unit.

I would recommend Seelevel. They don't clog up.

worth every Nickle I spent on it. Source Engineering knows there stuff

I would not worry about the leak at this point if your leveling lasts 10 days. The cost of chasing air leaks on a Coach can become ridiculous. The leak could be coming from many places other than the bags. It would be hard for a shop to determine location for a leak that small. 

Call source engineering in Oregon with your coach and engine info and they will advise what you need. They make units.

The Goodyear on the steers showed obvious wear. Lots of rivering, so I replaced with Michelins a year ago. They seem to ride better than the Goodyear. The rear six are Goodyear and 7 years old. I checked them closely for wear, but I’m no tire expert. We plan to drive about 5,000 miles over the next year. Is there a way to confirm the tires are safe?

I would not do 5k on 7 year Goodyears or any other for that matter. No one can inspect a tire visually and guarantee safety.

M144 isyour best bet in my opinion from experience with both. I did google search on the 75R and it does come up from Tires Direct. don't know anything about them but apparently 75R are available

Go by the sticker by the driver seat for cold PSI. If that pressure is below min cold stamped on the tire raise it to min and put up with the rougher ride.

I had Rv glass guru in Mesa AZ do my driver side window this winter while staying there. Took about 2hrs. Many glass shops can do the work

Wow, I didn't realize Monaco was totally gone now.   When did they last sell coaches with the Monaco brand, I don't see any newer than 2019 for sale on the net.  If you goto Monacocoach.com, there are no new coaches listed.   They refer you to AmericanCoach, and I didn't see the Rev Monaco Signature anywhere either.

The last model year I believe was 2010. Pretty much the same time frame for Country Coach bankruptcy.

Rev is not Monaco. They bought the name and property in Oregon where they service REV products. They make a coach now called Monaco Signature. Other than the badge it is the same type high production beer can like the other REV products, by comparison to the Original Monaco models made in Oregon.

I have 3 of these in my coach. They weee installed with new domestic penguins last year. They work great but not sure if using on older penguin would work. 

What Vito said. You will save money and no DEF  issues to look forward to

I bought a honeycomb gel cushion at a TA truck stop last year. It’s about 2 inches thick and made a lot of difference for me. They are not cheap about 70.00 but it is worth it.

You might check with FMCA, we have Nationwide through them with a 06 dynasty 42 4slide and fulltime. I just renewed at $1500 with nearly same coverage as you and decreasing deductible.  We had one claim 2 years ago for an AC damaged in a storm.  It is registered in Wisconsin, not because we live there, because that's where the lender was located. We do spend the summers there. If you can use USAA, they have a special Progressive deal, but my experience with them was 1 good year then the premium goes through the roof. Hope this might help.  Happy Trails Bert

Thanks Jobert, that is helpful information for me to compare our cost with. Mine is Nationwide thru FNCA as well.
