Monaco Tech Support

We decided to take a trip to Asheville, NC, to see friends and we are traveling with my brother and his wife (their first time visiting Asheville). They are in their new Tiffin Allegro.

We stopped in Crossville, TN, at the Bean Pot RV park. Once we arrived, I realized that we have stayed here before. Nice park, lots of trees but the sites are a little un-level.

I decided to use the air leveling, which is normal if I'm on any surface other than concrete or asphalt and we are on gravel. The sites slant from front to back which means you have to raise the rear pretty high to level.

Our Power Gear/Valid controller was trying hard to lift the rear enough to level. I hit the travel button to start over and there was a fault light that lit up (first time ever).

I thought, well, if I don't get this rectified before morning, we might not be able to leave. It was almost 6PM so I thought I would give Monaco Tech Support a call. They answered and I spoke to a nice guy named Robert.

He walked me through a couple of things. I did pop a fuse which I replaced. He told me to cut off the chassis and house batteries which reset the system. We were up and running!!!

Monaco support is there for you!!! What a good feeling!

  • We have almost the same unit as Mr. Mark. For over a year I was having problems with the Valid system. The compressor would come on every 20 minutes. There were no leaks. I was going away for 10 days without the MH so I pulled the fuse for the levelers. When I returned I replaced the fuse and so far everything seems OK. Won't be using the unit for a few months so I won't pronounced it fixed just yet. It is quite common that when you have trouble with any computerized board to remove the power and it sometimes resets. Glad your problem was solved and it is good to hear that Monaco support is as good as ever.

  • We have a 2000 Monaco Diplomat. When we first took it, there were so many little things that needed work. We are the second owner, but the first owner was a bit....neglectful. Life was tough for the first owner. We grabbed Jeanette (her name) for a song.

    We were new to it all, and they were most helpful. If I don't need immediate help, I email, and usually have a response in 24 hours.

    My next coach will be a Monaco.

    I read in another post that you lost your HHR. I clicked on your blog and read what happened. You both were so lucky not to lose your coach! Sorry to hear about the Prevost and Newell. Good to have insurance!

    It's amazing how water can ruin something so quickly.

    Safe travels,

    We are at a Monaco pre rally in Coos Bay, OR (FMCA next week) and the newest Monaco is fixing two items labor free for the 150+ rigs that are here. There are also three new Dynasty's... all rear bath. There is also a bare chassis without the outboard airbags and IFS. I counted 20 moving parts on the IFS compared to the eight on my solid axle.
  • MM,

    Glad to,hear the Tech Support guys were able to get you up & running. In the 8 years we have owned our coach, I've called them on a number of occasions. They have always been helpful and have enabled me to save many $$$ by noodling things out with a little sweat equity.

    We are fortunate to have this resource. The Country Coach support group is now charging for phone tech support. That would be fair but it's better free.

    Safe travels.
  • Wow, it's refreshing to here about support like that around here.
