    Follow the hydraulic lines from one of your jacks. On my Tropical the reservoir is in the left rear of the engine compartment accessed by the same door as the air filter.
  • Easier to find if you have someone else deploy the jacks while you walk around the coach.

    You WILL hear the electric motor for the jacks when it is running!
  • fluid should be checked or added, with ALL JACK retracted

    or you will have overflow and a mess when retracting the jacks
  • If you have the Roadmaster chassis and you have the side mount rear AC condenser behind the Drivers side rear wheels. Open that compartment and unlock the Radiator condenser and it is hinged. Behind that is the Jack reservoir/pump. Doug
  • Go to "Kidkasha" post on hydraulic jacks. He has a good picture there.
  • Since yours is a Monaco product I believe that you retract ALL jacks and then extend ONE jack 5". At that time your jack warning bell may be going off if the fluid level is low. If it is, then you SLOWLY add fluid until the warning bell stops.
    If your bell does not start sounding when ONE jack is extended 5-6" than you may already have too much fluid in the reservoir.
    The reservoir will be right under your pump. Mine is on the driver's side, front.
