  1. If anyone is looking for a direct replacement halogen bulb for the Docking lights this one fits perfectly. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07M9ZZMC8?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
  2. Are you sure it’s the window seal? The roof clearance lights are known for leaking. If it’s the window seal you can use clear Pro Flex for a temporary fix but your going to have to get the seal replaced at some point. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FC98X2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
  3. When I first bought my Dynasty the front driver side leaned after 15 min. I went to Josams and they replaced a hose and an air bag. Then the passenger side started leaking down slowly….probably was always leaking but slower so I never noticed it. A year later went back to Josams and had 3 air bags replaced and everything seemed ok for a short time. Passenger side started leaking slowly again so this year I went back and they found another problem up front and fixed it. We camped for a week and all was good then I came home two weeks ago and parked it at our lot. I went over yesterday and guess what passenger side was down again. I have been under there so many times spraying for leaks and have replaced many fittings myself as well as Josams fixing it and still this persistent leak. They have checked the 6 packs and not found a problem. The rear has all the original air bags and never leaks only the front passenger where all the bags have been changed as well as hoses and many fittings. I guess I’m just destined to put my blocks of wood between the frame as I have been doing since I have owned it.
  4. When you say nothing works I assume your blower motor doesn’t come on either? The control panel works off of a vacuum and has a vacuum pump in the generator compartment. If your pump isn’t working none of the controls will work. If your dash blower isn’t coming on then it could be the control panel. The panel on my 06 Dynasty is an early 2000’s Ford. There are many different versions so you have to take yours out and find one that matches the connectors on the back. Here is a few pictures of the vacuum pump and a control I found on eBay.
  5. I was just at Josams this Thursday and Friday. I had an air leak fixed and the all the wheel bearings and chassis lubed. I always tell Barry to have his mechanics inspect the chassis for frame cracks and so far hasn’t found any. He ended up replacing the front wheel bearings. I have a ring camera mounted on the outside by the door and saw quite a few other Monacos there getting worked on. I told Barry about this site and that he was well known and a lot of good things were said about the shop. Lost of free advertising
  6. Wish they had the outside vent in chrome like my dryer vent instead of black or white.
  7. Thanks for all the information from everyone. I’m going to change to ATF when I get back because we do and have traveled in some areas where I started up in the morning in the 20’s and I’m also not worried about mixing the two anymore.
  8. Ivan, yes my tank is just like yours it huge so changing fluid is going to be expensive. Frank, yes I believe you are correct in that I have the AW46 fluid. When I pulled a sample and compared it to ATF it’s a lot lighter in color. I think ATF has been added over the years to top off. Glad to know it’s ok to mix the two. As others have suggested I’m just going to wait and change the fluid when I get back from my trip. Thanks for all the replies.
  9. Thanks, I have read a lot of information on the site about the topic and I definitely would like to drain and refill but I’m getting ready to go on a trip and just wanted to change the filter right now and was just wondering if I could mix the fluids. It says in the manual this hydraulic tank holds 35 quarts…almost 9 gallons gezzz that’s a lot. I would like to put Transynd in but going to be pricey and even putting regular transmission fluid won’t be cheap either.
  10. I am in the midst of changing my hydraulic filter. Above the hydraulic tank there is a sticker that says Use Texaco Ursa 15w40. When I pull a sample it’s definitely not super red like atf but I think atf has been added. The reason I why I think that is because when I purchased it two years ago there was a gallon jug half full of Dexron three in rear bay and being since I have Transynd in the transmission I don’t know why else it would be on board. I like to prefill my filters so is it ok to mix atf with this oil. At this point I’m not sure if it’s oil or aw46 in there.
  11. That’s so funny I ordered that same one just a different size from Amazon along with the ones Ivan posted. It actually measures 1 1/4. I want to have some options in case one fits better. I don’t want to have that mess again, Thanks
  12. Well, I got the drawer out and I figured out why it was stuck. It was my own doing 😫 Traveling up to North Carolina for Christmas I felt a cold draft coming in from the dash so I bought some black expanding foam and found all the voids up under the dash in the generator compartment and filled them up. Well, some of the foam made its way through and got to the bottom of the drawer. I guess that stuff is a strong adhesive as well. I used a small crowbar to pry the drawer out and didn’t do any damage thank God. It took a lot of force. Just goes to show you when something strange like this happens you really need to think about everything you did in that area.
  13. Thanks Ivan, I was trying to find the exact one but I’m going to go with your line of thinking.
  14. I am posting this not really expecting some miracle answer I’m just frustrated. The drawer in front of the copilot’s seat is stuck shut. My wife uses the drawer to keep odds and ends in and it has always worked smoothly. We got back from a trip just after Christmas and It was emptied out except a pen and magic marker I know this because I emptied it. A week or so later I was working on something and needed to mark something and remembered the magic marker so I went to open the door and it’s like welded shut. I have tried everything to pry it open without destroying it. It’s like someone put JB weld on the draw slides and shut it. I can’t even begin to understand how this could have happened. I have taken a rubber mallet and hit it from all sides and tried to pry it open till it almost cracks the wood. It has granite type lid inside but nothing could have caused it to stay up. Granted it’s not a huge problem and we can live without it but it’s bugging the *%$# out of me.
  15. I changed my oil yesterday and the oil dipstick rubber grommet just won’t expand enough to tighten up. I have looked online and found the entire dipstick for over $100 but can’t find just the grommet. Others have posted that they changed the grommet but didn’t give the source. If anyone knows where to find it please let me know. I found this on Amazon but I don’t think it will fit. https://www.amazon.com/Dorman-HELP-65113-Dipstick-Grommet/dp/B000COBBNE/ref=sr_1_4?crid=MIOETZBUFXN&keywords=Cummins+oil+dip+stick+grommet&qid=1707104309&sprefix=cummins+oil+dip+stick+grommet+%2Caps%2C404&sr=8-4
  16. Very good chance it will. When the nozzle gets clogged instead of shooting a fine mist like it should it just puts out a stream of diesel that won’t ignite. Hopefully it will fix your problem.
  17. I had a 7.5 Onan in my old motorhome and now the 10K and they both are about the same noise to me. they are both pretty quiet.
  18. I have an 06 Dynasty and have the Surge Guard 40250. There is a newer model 40250RVC. I can find in the specs of mine that it will shut down if the voltage is under 102 or over 132 but I don’t see any reference of surge protection built in as the RVC model does. I have a built in Huges Autoformer that does have surge protection so I feel that I am protected from spikes. Does the 2006 era Surge Gaurd have a high failure rate? So far mine has been ok and I pull the cover off once a year and tighten the connections.
  19. The clock spring is an expensive part for sure. I was having issues with my wipers at first then it affected the cruise control. You can check the clock spring by getting access to both ends, if I remember it was 4 conductors. Use an ohm meter and check continuity on each wire while turning the clock spring. If you get any moment on your meter then it’s bad. It might fluctuate a few ohm’s but if it has big swings in readings it’s bad. I had one wire open and one going bad so I replaced it and all is good now.
  20. I have to look but I think there is 3 on my Dynasty so minimum 3 for me
  21. I would be interested in getting some Dynasty emblems so maybe if enough people chime in we can get some made again.
  22. I just rechecked my post from a two years ago and want to clarify that I fixed the rear monitor by changing the source with a Kenwood remote that came with the Motorhome. Apparently the bedroom monitor is made by Kenwood. I thought there were buttons on the monitor to change the source but maybe not. You should have that little remote somewhere.
  23. Rob, when I first purchased my Dynasty the rear bedroom screen did the same thing as yours. I thought it was defective because the front one worked ok. Mine ended being that the rear screen was on the wrong source. Mine has buttons on the front of the screen and one of them changes the source. You might have inadvertently hit a button when getting out of bed or something. I could Be that one of the rca plugs in the dash came loose on the Aladdin box but I would check the screen first.
  24. I am right with you on that statement. I liked the old faucets but we were shopping at Costco and there was some bathroom faucets on sale so the DW says “those faucets are so low in the sinks I would like them to be higher up and I like these” so there ya go. What ever you do don’t show your wife this post she may want them. 😄
