All eng. brake switches work, not sure I'm operating pedal properly ( coach is new to me )
Inside the pedal is a micro switch. Over the years it wears out. Take pedal apart and ohm test it when depressing the switch. You can get replacements on eBay.

9 hours ago, Ivan K said:We were still in South Georgia yesterday and moved from the path through Atlanta and I-20 to Alabama where not even rain is currently predicted here. I really braced for huge traffic but it was smooth sailing even through Atlanta. I would have expected a lot of people on the run from it towards west. Maybe I-10 was busier but I gave up on the coast section of the trip for now. Hope all that had to stay for whatever reason are safe.
Sounds like you made the right decision but living in a house on wheels is easier to move the a SB house.
My wife heard from my SIL last night, the had a big live oak come down across their house in Tallahassee. Sounds bad. Their next door neighbor is a tree cutter and the hired him for $7500 to remove the tree and try and tarp the roof. They've had reports from the beach community in Shell Point, storm surge was only ~3 ft so hopefully their house there has limited damage.
I live ~25 miles east of Knoxville and we are seeing high winds and some rain. Currently without power. The local Coop does a pretty good job of getting the power restored but in this case it could take a while considering the area they are dealing with. From the outage map about 25% of the customers are without power. At some point I'll make a decision to pull the coach in front of the house, start the generator, and run extension cords in to power the refrigerators and some lights. I always park it with a full tank of fuel so we could last a week if needed.
It is a fast moving storm that is doing quite a bit of damage in a short time and the utilities will have a job getting all the power restored and local authorities getting the down trees and debris cleaned up.
Be Safe

Prayers to all in this storm's path.
Hopefully most have heeded the warnings and left the danger zones.
God Bless. 🙏

It's wired in parallel to the engine brake switch. Here is a screenshot of the circuit.

Friends west of Brevard, NC got or are getting hit hard now. Have three major trees down. Two in driveway. His Standby Whole House Genny would no crank. After a lot of fiddling and getting soaked. The Battery was dead. DUH, code required that the outdoor outlet for the 3 stage (same as our Inverter/charger) was plugged into the GFCI. Power had blipped a few months ago. The “run me weekly” switch was NOT on AUTO….DEAD Cranking battery. DUHHHHH.
Now on Genny. Eye is moving right over Brevard….they are WEST, fortunately. Brevard is about 40 miles EAST of Asheville. Yesterday the Biltmore Village complex, entrance to Biltmore flooded. NOT GOOD….

Central America I cannot speak to.
In Mexico, I could get (had to get) Liability, but they would not issue comprehensive for a vehicle as old as mine (2000), so I had to go without and drive carefully. USA insurance would not cover in Mexico.

On 1/9/2021 at 6:18 AM, pwhittle said:I also added a 10” dashboard monitor to the Aladdin and placed it in my field of vision when driving. This is a great improvement over the 5” display down in the center dash.
The Aladdin supports 4 RCA monitor outputs with video and sound from the rear camera when it is selected and only two are used as standard: the one in the dash, and the one in the bedroom. I plugged this into the third output.
I plan to remove the original Sony display in the center dash but it also supplies 8V power for the rear camera so I am leaving it in till I put together a wiring harness/power converter to provide the power for the new monitor and the 8V power for the rear camera for a plug and play install.

Paul, I am interested in getting the side camera kits that you make up. But, before I do, I need to talk to you about some questions on install. Can you text me your phone number so I can call you to get additional information?

On 7/26/2024 at 12:43 AM, Frank McElroy said:In effect you have 2 front heat exchangers both fed by the same AquaHot circulating pump zone. If the circulating pump is working, the problem is almost always a stuck check valve after the pump on that loop. With the circulating zone pump running, give the check valve a few sharp raps with a hammer or crescent wrench and I'll bet you an adult beverage that hot water will start flowing.
Frank , where are the valves located ? I have an 04 Dynasty.
Thanks

They are just under the AquaHot cover - see page 9 in the attached file link.

If you go the Vicrton Energy route like I did, you will drop ~$2K for the Victron Energy Multiplus II 3KVA Inverter Charger and needed accessories (shunt, battery disconnect, ect.) and get a 6 year bumper to bumper warranty (available only from https://currentconnected.com) with premium white glove support.But, if you are seeking high value and are willing to forgo a long term warranty and associated premium support, I recommend that you consider this all-in-one combination inverter/charger/solar controller. This controller brand (MPP Solar) has been extensively tested by Will Prowse and IS THE VALUE LEADER in the industry:
- Monaco PN 16626855 Circuit Board Module
2ESPOS
The smart wheel circuit board Monaco PN 16626855 in our 2012 Monaco Knight burned out. The turn signals, hazard flashers and wipers no longer work.
The RV electrical repair technician found the module in the dash and it showed some black burned area. This part is obsolete and no longer available through Monaco. Previous IRV2 posts on this subject suggested to contact an RV salvage yard.
My search online indicated this PN 16626855 was used in Monaco and Holiday Ramblers in other years.
Does anyone know what years it was used so I can narrow down the RV salvage yard searches?
I also might try finding an electronic repair shop to see if the burnt board is repairable, the technician wasn't sure if it could be repaired
We are presently stranded in Caldwell Idaho.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Boyd B.Great information and documentation JD. It is amazing what we can do when we don't know better. Cummins would condemn your repairs to abject failure! But here you are proving them wrong!

Toilet issue
MPfeifI have had this issue, and the solution has been to 1) wait overnight like you did and/or 2) flush the black tank using tank blaster 3) driving with the black tank half full 4) always run water in the the black tank flush while emptying and/or 5) use a good enzymatic black tank treatment.
Because of the where the sensors are located at the very end of the tank, and both toilets (if you have two) dump into the tank at about the same spot, I suspect that a buildup there is causing the issue. While the capacitive sensors the tecma's use are less sensitive to crud building up than the resistive tank level sensors, they're not immune.
The toilets actually use separate sensors for 1/2 full and full, so if you look at the end of the tank (by the aquahot, behind the plastic panel, you'll see four black rectangular sensors stuck to the end of the tank.
