Very helpful info, thanks!

Batteries were new in July 2023.

Thanks, this is helpful info. I thought about hooking a battery charger directly to the batteries for a more efficient charge.

Is the chassis battery the one in the compartment next to the water heater? That has to be opened by removing the screw at the bottom? I have a 3/4 diesel. I was planning to jump it from that if I can do it without damaging anything. It is not. It's curbside at someone else's house. Only 15-amp available.

We’ve been remodeling a new to us 2003 Windsor. the coach has been sitting at someone else’s house for the past month while the cabinets have been getting painted. I went to start the coach, and both the chassis and the house batteries are completely dead. The person doing the work must have turned something on and drained it. How should I go about getting this thing started again? I did plug the coach in but the inverter did not come on. A couple of the 110 V systems inside came on like the microwave but none of the 12 V systems. Is this because the house batteries are so thoroughly drained it’s going to take a while before they will come on? I did not have any tools with me, so we have to go back tomorrow to get the coach running. I did leave the coach plugged in. All systems were working when it was parked last month. Lesson learned, use the disconnect switch next time!

Good to know! I was planning to add a small down light near the toilet to help with those middle if the night bathroom visits!

That's exactly what I am experiencing too! It has trapped moisture in there. When you repaired the floor, since you did not replace the sound barrier, did you have any problem in height difference? Even thought it's probably only 1/16"?

Did you replace the sound barrier? Or go without it?

Thanks for sharing that! I actually read through your entire thread last night to give me a bit of an idea of what I might find when I opened my patient up for surgery this afternoon!

Repairing water damage in the new to us Monaco. there’s 2 layers of subfloor - both 5/8” OSB. Whywas there a rubber membrane between the layers? Unfortunately in this case, the rubber membrane prevented the subfloor from drying out and trapped moisture inside, leading to further damage. Wondering what the original purpose was and if I need to replace it. For bottom layer of OSB, there’s a vapor barrier of some sort did this serve a purpose? Or was it to make the basement area more presentable?

Thanks everyone for your quick help!

I suppose it could be, but why would a toilet need a 12v connection? LOL The toilet that was uninstalled does not have a connection on it.

I have a 12v electrical connector in my bathroom that I have no idea what it goes to. Can someone help me figure it out? About a month ago we a 2002 Monaco Windsor. It has water damage which we're repairing (from a frozen burst pipe). The previous owner had already demo'd much of the damaged wood. In the bathroom, near the elevated toilet, there is a 12v connection coming out of the floor. The connector is still attached but I cannot find the corresponding plug it goes to. Was there a removed appliance of some sort? Mood lighting? Hoping another Monaco owner can help me figure out what it's for? Thanks!!

It's a fair thing to check. The doors lock just fine - they just won't unlock.

Hi everyone! I was able to program a new master code. I can now get the entry door to lock and unlock. I can get the baggage doors to LOCK but not UNLOCK. It seems I am not inputting the correct command. After entering my master code, I have tried pushing 7/8 to unlock the baggage doors and get a confirmation beep from the keypad but nothing happens. I also don't hear the relay clocking inside the same way I do when they lock. Trying other digits after the master code also has no effect. Any other ideas from the hive mind?

Great tip, thank you!!

I’ll check that out, thank you!

I may be losing my mind! Just went out to follow up on one of the suggestions from this thread. Baggage doors now unlock! Front door does not, but confirmed with a voltmeter the contacts are getting juice when they should. Will open the door up tomorrow and check the actuator.

Correct - front door doesn’t work

Jim - where did you purchase the transmitter for key fobs? Mine didn't come with any. It does not unlock any of the doors. Entering 555 does indeed lock the doors though - so the actuator is working. When I enter my new code, I hear a relay "click" in the dash - so it seems like it's trying to do something.

Hi everyone! solved the problem. It was one of the baggage door safety switches. Was able to jump it and got it working. Many thanks!!!

With everyones help, I made SOME progress. Found the reset button and set a new master code (received the appropriate confirmation beeps). When I enter the code, I hear a relay inside the dash area "click" but it does not actually unlock the doors. Entering 555, 557 or 559 does lock the doors as it should. I just can't get them to unlock!

ya'll are awesome, thank you!

oh my gosh, thank you guys! I have the keypad but haven't messed with it yet because it's further down on the priority list! Now I just have to locate the code....

Learning ahout my new-to-me 2002 Windsor 38PDD. It seems the baggage door locks/handles have an actuator that should operate them? But I have no idea how to operate it? Also, I don't seem to have a key for the baggage door locks and it does not appear just the lock cylinder can be replaced? And I am missing one handle - do you all have a trusted parts supplier i could find one? Many thanks for helping this newbie with his questions!
