Yours is a 2003 motor home built by Monaco on a W series chassis. If you look under the front end you will find that the steel used to mount your front cap on to the main frame has started to crack and fail. This is a known problem and can only be corrected by removing the light gauge 2x2 box and replacing it with a heavier gauge steel and proper welds. Monaco did have a repair procedure but that was before their reorganization. Now you will have to pay for the entire repair which should run somewhere between $1000-$1500 at a welding shop. I am sure that you have also noticed the front end being a little noisier with rattles and the steering column also moving a lot more with the bumps.
Be sure to check your generator bracket at the same time. That support has been known to fail and drop the generator.
Wow and I thought I had brain freeze some times. You missed everything
WOW, you don't have a Monaco coach that has experienced this KNOWN problem on 2003-4 units. I have. :S
Monaco can supply the drawing to fabricate and correct the problem and then your cruise control will not kick off.
