Are 2007 Monacos subject to Radiator Failure?

NO, many coach builders build their own in-house chassis. Monaco, Alpine, Foretravel, Country Coach, Safari (even prior to Monaco buy-out), some Tiffin products, etc.

Sure, there are also a number built on "pre-made" chassis from Freightliner and Spartan as well.

Thanks.

Just go back to my desk and let me quickly add that this is a 42' Camelot on a RR10S chassis. I will edit to add more after I read through the above.

Back. Sounds like I am happy this is a 42, not a 40 with the cargo weight issue. I did get the engine serial number and this engine was manufactured after the notorious wristpin recall, so I am good there.

I am still trying to find out if there is any chance Monaco used a Chelsea PTO pump off the transmission to drive the hydraulic fan and/or power steering. Country Coach models with ISL's had to install wet kits to solve a dry spline problem, but I have never heard this about Monaco products. That of course doesn't mean it wasn't done this way.

An internet search of 2007 Monaco Camelot did not show any TSB's(technical service bulletins) or major problems with the cooling systems. There was a Cummins fuel rail TSB.

OP, you do not say what size Camelot and if it's a 40'keep reading. If it's a 42', skip to the bottom. In making sure it was 06 with windshields that had sharp 90 degree corners (no radius)and had serious problems with the windshields breaking because the front cap was not supported properly... I came upon this post of mine.
Inside a closet or behind a cabnet door you should find a CCC sticker. About those years Monaco put a 23K rear axle in them so they would have a positive CCC. I'm afraid you will be lacking in CCC from what I remember and from this post I found by someone else::" Last year I bought a 2007 Camelot 40 PDQ and have already logged 13k miles on the road with my family. We love our coach, but I have discovered a few weaknesses. Mainly, the cargo carrying capacity is approximately 1500 lbs. With the coach so close to max, I feel this makes for a bouncy ride even after upgrading my shocks to bilsteins. With the shock upgrade, bounciness has been reduced by 50 percent, but I feel like I could do better. With a GVW of 34.6 I'd guess it has a 14.6 front axle and a 20K rear requiring 295 tires. Look besides the driver's seat for the axle weights and GCVWR. GOOD LUCK! as I doubt it has enough CCC for what you want to do."
After about 05 I have not read of any more problems on here with the cooler but I do not know for sure. I had problems with my 04 Dynasty.

Educate me. I thought the MH manufactures only built the box that was mounted on the chassis.
