Prayers and healing thoughts to all on this Monaco site. You are all great contributors and your hard work does not go unnoticed. Thank you to all!!!

Yes, correct #83804 stamped on the side of the canister is in fact a #83804E filter inside. WIX filter #51637 is identical, single filter.

Looking up research it shows my power steering and hydraulic fan uses HD46, WRONG!!!! It uses ATF, Transynd 295 fluid. My canister only has one internal filter, see pics. Mine also uses a spin on filter, ZSE-10. SEE PICS. Just cause it says it in the manual doesn't always make it right.

Mine is different than yours, so no comment on my end. Tom Cherry is always pretty accurate on his info from what I've seen of his answers. I would rely on his experience and expertise.

Will do. Mine is mounted on the rear passenger side. I ordered a WIX filter 51637 and will have it tomorrow. Fleetguard 83804E crosses to the 51637. It appears mine only has the one filter in the reservoir. Then there is also the additional spin on filter ZSE-10. I'll be doing this over the weekend and report back my findings. Thanks

My bad, I thought mine was like yours. I just got to mine and took some pictures of the reservoir and the separate spin on filter. The fluid has a yellowish thinish type of an oil. It definitely is not ATF fluid so I assume mine is Texaco Rando HD46, or equivalent. The side of the reservoir shows Fleetguard 91417 83804. I found a filter that is 83804E, I believe that will be the one I need. Are there more than one in this reservoir? I have already bought the spin on filter ZSE-10, but would like to have everything on hand to do the job in one fell swoop. Thanks all for the help and insight.

I'll check the parts list, thanks.

Any idea what filter is inside the canister? Mine looks like that one. Thanks

Nope, I don't have the controller on mine. I'm not going to worry about it then, thank you for that info. I will keep an eye on my AGM batteries, both chassis and coach. thanks again for all the info.

On the display at the dash. Same display shows temps, psi, fuel mileage, etc.

Does yours also show "Low Battery"? Thanks

I've noticed prior to starting, after turning ignition key to on, the display shows a Software ID Rev 0.4. What does this pertain to? I believe to know the engine revision # you need to be able to hook into the Insight Software from a Cummins repair facility. I'm just curious to what this one is and should it be "updated"? Also, since owning the rv, just before starting, it always has shown Low Battery in this display. Previous owner said it's always shown that, but have never had an issue with starting coach. It bugs me it shows Low Battery. I've checked the batteries, both coach and chassis, and they are over 13 volts. Thanks for all the wealth of knowledge on this site. Matt

This happened in my town. Crazy to see, I'd never believe that could happen. The video was caught on a Tesla camera.

Oh, that's a great relief to hear!! I was lucky because I had no clue when purchasing this in July 2022 from a friend. Flew from LAX to SC and drove it home. So far so good.. Thanks again. I had read the part about the dipswitches, but I wanted to be sure mine wasn't the "dreaded" system.

Thanks for all the great info Frank and sharing your time and knowledge with us. I have a 2008 Scepter 40PDQ. When you say a "smartwheel", what determines a smartwheel? On my steering wheel, I have my cruise control on left, windshield wipers and courtesy light flash controls. Also, in the bathroom area I have 3 control boxes that have the dipswitches. Are these the "better" multiplex system to have? Or the dreaded one? I have a living room interior light that does not work at the entry step rocker switch but the light will work at the 6 button lighted switch over the couch. I want to delve into this to get it working. Thanks again to you and also to Tom Cherry for all the wisdom and insight you have. I hope at some point I could reciprocate my knowledge to help.

Tested and it still blows heat when jumpering the thermostat purple wires. Thanks for all your info always.

Tom, I've got the "toaster heater" and it still works. Any issues with keeping it in the wet bay? Thanks

I think around 1600 rpm

Hello, do you still have the instructions? I have a 2008 40pdq Scepter, which is basically identical to the Camelot. Thank you,

When I think of fiberglass roof, I think of hard like a surfboard. This surface resembles more rubbery of a top coat surface. That is mine too.

Thanks for that info. It is definitely more supportive at edges and around the skylight and a/c units. Upon first stepping up onto the roof from the ladder I thought, oh no, this is not good. But when it felt the same all over, I realized this is probably normal. Looked inside every cabinet at the ceiling area and no signs of any leaks, ever. That made me feel a lot better. I've had several motorhomes over the last 30 years, but never this quality of one. Our last motorhome was a 2005 Discovery 39' with the typical "hard" feeling roof that I've come to know. Thanks again for your input.

I have a 2008 Holiday Rambler Scepter 40PDQ. It is the same as the Camelot 40PDQ. My question is the softness in the roof. I'm used to a roof that feels hard. This one has a softness feel to it, all areas. If it was in one spot, I'd say there is a problem for sure. But this one feels the same all over. There is definitely no leaks now or ever. Just trying to figure out why they feel this way. Thank you.

Thanks Tom. And yes, heading down a hill and all of a sudden coach starts to accelerate, will wake you up real quick. I typically always drive with the exhaust brake off and switch it off and on as needed. Thanks for all the insight. It's good to know about the Camelot, I learned that on this site I believe.

My 2008 Holiday Rambler Scepter with the 400 will apply exhaust brake while cruise control is on and will resume speed when needed. As far as High Low setting, I'll have to see if that is somewhere on the panel, I don't recall seeing it before. I love my 400, sweet spot seems to be around 64 mph.
