Monaco interlocks?
Our Monaco, a 2008 Knight, has a whole bunch of "safety interlocks"...
The jacks are interlocked to the parking brake, which is good and I like it.
The slideouts and awnings are interlocked to the ignition. I don't like this a bit. According to the manual, the coach must be up on it's suspension when extending or retracting the slides (Backwards I know, but it's a Monaco thing, simply accepted as fact for this discussion)so my Leaving the campsite routine includes:
Starting the diesel and waiting for the air pressure to come up.
Retracting the jacks.
Shutting down the diesel
retracting the slides.
Firing her back up and rolling down the road.
Now I'm thinking, things would just be so much easier and make so much sense, if the slideouts and awnings were interlocked to the parking brake.
And I'm guessing this would be a simple matter of moving one wire.
But which wire?
And move it where?
I know this has been done, I probably shoulda saved it when I saw it. but regardless, Monaco or HR DP owners, whatcha got?
