  1. Hello Folks,

    I have a 2007 Monaco Knight. Today when I started the coach up, there was an air leak near the generator. I have attached a picture and a short video. Soon as I turn the key on and 12 volts gets to this it starts hissing.  I have owned this coach 2007 and have never heard this before. I am at a RV resort in Oregon and the coach is up on jacks if that means something. If someone knows what this is I would appreciate it. Thanks so much

  2. Bill, Thank you for your reply.  It will happen sometimes when connected to shore power but mostly not.  Thanks again.

    Myron, No I do not have the heater turned on.  Meter shows it is only pulling 1 amp from somewhere.  I keep a trickle charge on the chassis batteries and they can show full charge but sometimes starting, it will drop to 12 volts and alarm.  After awhile something will "kick in" and will go right to 13.6 volts or higher?  I took some pictures of my "run panel". The first one is the complete panel.  Click on it to see full image.  The 2nd one looks like something you may have been explaining.  Note the fuse is missing on the left had side of solenoid?  The third is the solenoid in the battery compartment.  Thank you.

    Tom.  I will check that.  Thanks.

  3. Hello and thank so much for this forum.

    I have a 2007 Monaco SKT that I have owned since new.  I keep a top of the line trickle charger on it when parked.  All gauges and Aladdin read 13.6 or greater.  It is also plugged in to shore power and I do not think the Magnum really charges the chassis batteries.  Anyway at times I will start it and the voltage reads 12.0 give or take a little and the alternator light comes on and chimes.  after a while sometimes soon other times up to 5 minutes or so, the alarm and light go off and the gages read 13.3 or greater.

    I have checked the voltage and the batteries when reading low and they do read correctly. 

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Thanks

  4. Mike,  We had a 2014 Ford Explorer we towed before this F150.  The battery would go dead unless I "used a quick disconnect" on it.  Felt like I would have the same issue on the F150.  Like a dumb *ss I did not read the full directions in the F150 manual that said, "DO NOT DISCONNECT THE BATTERY".  I did drive it from NM to Kerrville Tx disconnected and got the P068a code.  I reconnected the battery via quick disconnect and cleared the code and it has run fine ever since.  I have my brake buddy hooked up directly to the battery past the quick disconnect.  Tomorrow when we leave Kerrville, I will heed the warning from the manual and your advise as well.  Thanks

  5. It is a quick disconnect from the negative battery terminal.  Thanks

     

    I made a mistake on the code, it is a Po68a.  Sorry about that.  Look forward to hearing from you folks.

     

  6. Hello Folks,

    First off this forum is the BEST.  I have learned so much even though I have been a Monaco owner for 20 years.  I just bought a 2014 Ford F150 Lariet to pull behind my 2007 Monaco Knight.  My question is I disconnected with a quick disconnect after following instructions to tow 4 down.   It pulled great!  Just as good as the 2014 Ford Explorer we have been pulling for many years.  After stopping for the night, I connected the battery and it started up just fine.  We then went to dinner and it ran great but threw the P028a engine code.  PCM issue.  I cleared the code and it ran just as always.  Anything I should be concerned about.  Any of you who tow a F150 have this issue?   Thanks so much.

    I don't know exactly how these seats work. Possibly one motor is working and one is not? Does one motor run one side rail and the other motor works the other?

    Only throwing out some guesses.

    No there is only motor for that function.  Thanks

    It looks like the bottom motor is being used???

    It also looks like it has a shaft out of each end ????

    Could have counter rotating screws so it could use the same direction on the motor.

     

     

    There is only one motor for this.  Please see video.  Thanks for the help.

  8. Hello all,

    I have a 2007 Monaco Knight SKT.  Coming home a couple of days ago, the display on my Voyager B&W monitor was compressed to the center of screen and could not really read it.  After a while, the screen just went blank.  I know the Alladin is sending info because I can here the beeps if I scroll the buttons on it.  I think the monitor just went out but no sure.  Any thoughts are appreciated.

  9. Hello all and thank you all in advance.

    I have a 2007 Monaco Knight SKT (original owner).  On our annual trip from ABQ, NM to Netarts, Oregon, the electric foot rest on the Navigators chair stop opening or closing.  I located the cable that runs from a motor to the gear.  I took it off at the gear and switched between up and down and the cable inside the sheath would operate.  When I put the cable in the gear it would grind and not open or close the foot rest.  I reversed the cable and still nothing.  There does not appear to be any wear or damage to the cable.  

    I look forward to your input.

  10. Just a HUGE shout out to this group.  As a owner of a 2007 Monaco Knight SKT bought new in 2006, I would never replace her.  They just do not make them like this anymore.

    On my annual trip to crabbing season in northern Oregon from Alb, NM I have a new issue.  My EMS display is not coming on and I have a clicking sound from the relays in my breaker box when "front AC" breaker is on and normally it will stop but now it stays clicking.  At first I thought my Transfer Switch was bad but it is not. A few of my 110 outlets also stop working but then after resetting some breaker switches the outlets will work, but the EMS display stays off and the clicking in the relays in the breaker box continue until I switch the "front AC" breaker off, and the EMS display is blank.  I appreciate any assistance.  Thank you,

    TDale, ABQNM
