    Will get that to you when I get home this afternoon.  Not that it will do you much good.  Lol. Tech support won't even talk to me because of the age. Parts ? Gotten some information, but 1/2 of it was wrong.  They don't consider it as one of there's since they bought the bankrupt company.

    At Times I  get very frustrated, seems like problems crop up faster than I can fix them.  When I finally decide to swallow the pill and pay for someone to do the repair. I find that there charging $120 to $150 per hour + materials I get sick. Not even mentioning the fact, When doing research they would have used the wrong fasteners. 

    Monaco will not give any technical support for the older coaches. 

    I will soon be posting a video on my beltline repair were all the rivets have failed.  (Roof separation from side wall)

    Here's my mantra.  Sometimes life is a bitch, sometimes tomorrow is just another day.  Right now life is a bitch.  

    Right now I'm on track for earning $500 a week for my efforts because I'm not paying someone else plus getting the job done right. I also have the privilege of helping other people out in the process.

  3. I used RV cooling units. Spent the money for the more expensive unit about 5 years ago. Glad I did works great.  Not a hard job putting it in. Just a little time consuming.

    Built a dolly to slide the fridge out on to. A little help from my wife to slide the unit out and reinstall it. Just take your time with it. Customer service was assume.

    Thanks for mentioning that, yes I have read that but I did not put 2 + 2 together. I was thinking stainless steel screws. Would that have the same affect as just plain steel screws?  Will be calling Talin on Monday to see what I can learn. 

    Yes I have an aluminum roof. 

    Thanks for the input.  

  5. 2001 Monaco Diplomat. Rivets are failing where the roof meets the sidewall. Looking for suggestions on how to fix the problems.  I don't know the length of the rivets that were used. Tried 1 1/2 in long self-tapping screws which don't seem to tap into the frame. Called Monaco, no help there. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  

    Thanks
