Guest Ray Davis Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 There is a thread currently on IRV2 where a past employee of Monaco chimed in with some interesting input about the thoughts of the employees and operations those last days. I believe his posts start about # 34 https://www.irv2.com/forums/f115/very-bizarre-2008-monaco-dynasty-yorkshire-iv-599260-3.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure is, it should bring some peace to owners and potential buyers. I wish we could get him over here, but wouldn't want to scare him off. Who knows he may be on here already.

Dbircky Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I’ve wondered why mine shows a build date of January 2008 (sticker by drivers seat) but is designated a 2009. Did they partially have it built before bankruptcy and finished afteR they re-opened with the greatly reduced staff? I did ask at REV in Indiana they said they had no records on delivery dates for Oregon built units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bliksem Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 An interesting read. I have an '09 HR Imperial build date March '08, I am the second owner and aside from the common quirks seems like a solid build. What I would like to find out is if it was a custom order as it has $92k of upgrades $30k of that for the ISM/4000 upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinvz Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 With a handle such as ‘Bliksem’ you must hail from RSA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bliksem, Your coach was likely a custom order as they were only building to order at that time as I understand it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe when you message through IRV2 it may be read by a moderator. In the past they would not allow you to invite someone to Bill D's Monacoers in a post, they would scrub it, but you can post a link to one of our threads on there which is the samething. Actually one of their moderators is / was on here although he hasn't spoke up on here for a long long time.

MyronTruex Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Private messages are not read unless reported. I just finished a private message to him inviting him and encouraging him to join us. In fact, I just sent him a link to a ton of files that he showed interest in seeing. His insights would be helpful for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been scolded quite a few times on IRV2 but never for suggesting someone join the Monacoers.org forum. That being said that doesn't mean they condone the practice. The Monacoers group has a much better data base of information pertaining to the Monaco coaches and the forum has posts emphasizing problem & solutions for coaches instead of "Fluffy" stuff I both send and receive PM's without a problem.
