Check the wires where they feed into the step motor. One may have grounded out. A dead short seems like the culprit.

We have a mounted spare for our Camelot on our trailer. If we we were not going to use the trailer, we’d use one of the aftermarket carriers.

OK. Found the issue. Two to be exact. The light switch had corrosion on the contacts where the power to the markers go. Electrical contact cleaner made short work of the corrosion and the marker lights came back on. As for the high beams, a loose wire at the base of the steering wheel and of all things, the high beam indicator light fell out of the socket, so no light. Everything is now working correctly. Thanks for the assistance!

I have yet to do any work with the smart wheel. Where is the box located? Never mind. I realized I already found it. Hope it's not bad. They are on back order and cost close to $500.00

I have an unusual issue that I can not solve using standard diagnostics. I have a 2008 Monaco Camelot 42pdq. None of the marker lights, tail lights or high beam will come on. I have checked every fuse, switched out relays to make sure it wasn’t that, retested the fuses and each fuse and relay is good. Turn signals, brake lights are fine. Logically, it should be a fuse ir relay. It’s the combination of no high beam or marker lights that get me. My coach is not equipped with daytime running lights, but I jumped the relay and the high beams came in. No luck using the smart wheel either. Any ideas would be welcome. Dash and switch lights do work.

I looked where people suggested, as far as I could physically fit. Still, no luck. Didn’t think about pulling the panel off near the windshield. That’ll be today’s search.

Thanks. Skinny, I am not. Hopefully I can find it without having to call Fire Rescue to pull me out from under the dash.

2008 Camelot 42pdq. I know it's in the coach somewhere, but the coaxial cable for the original CB antennae on the roof is MIA inside. I've pulled the side panel, top dash panel, removed the front drawers, crawled around under the dash and no joy. According to a tech that buiult the Monaco coaches at the factory, the cable should be inside the lower panel under the air brake pull. I give. Help?

Get it to a reputable truck shop to have the entire frame and all attachments checked immediately. Suggestion would be to not operate the coach until you know for a fact what is wrong. Like Rick A posted, you could wind up with major issues with continued use. Good luck and keep us posted.

The blend door actuator on our 2008 Camelot 42pdq has failed. Has anyone replaced theirs and if so, which replacement unit did you get?

CB radios may be “old school”, but having one in the coach proved to be worth it’s weight in gold when (pre TPMS), a trucker called us on the radio to alert us to a flat trailer tire. Also, finding out about an accident in real time vs. Waze, etc., is a nice feature. As for the ground plane, I have not been able to find info on what, if anything, the antenna is connected to other than the roof. Our coach is an 08 Camelot 42pdq.
