Posted on February 6, 2018 by Carol

Slide Ends

Posted on January 8, 2018January 8, 2018 by Jim Mellema

Did you ever notice how you can tell the expensive Motorhome because the ends of the slideouts are striped to match the rest of the body? Look at this gorgeous Monaco Windsor. The striped slide ends add a big touch of class. Here’s our lowly Knight as built by Monaco in 2008. The ends of…

Disaster!!!

Posted on August 18, 2017August 18, 2017 by Jim Mellema

Well kinda. We were heading out for niece Sara’s wedding back in Chicago. Only an hour or so gone, still in Tennessee. The Alt Fail light came on, and the dash started going ding ding ding… ding ding ding… This happens sometimes on a sunny day since I put the solar on, I ignored it….

Monaco Door Swing Arm

Posted on April 12, 2017April 22, 2021 by Jim Mellema

Today I’m going to replace the front door swing arm on our Monaco Coach. Monaco used these things on all but their top of the line DP’s, They work like a locking scissors, they keep the door under control, and lock it in the open position such that a simple pull will unlock it and…

Posted on April 6, 2017 by Jim Mellema

We’ve been in the process of converting our motorhome to LED lighting for a long time. To save money I bought most of the LED’s direct from China on ebay.
