Monico slides

We are on our second Monaco product. Both manuals said the same...Slides are to be deployed while air bags are FULL. Slides out, dump air, deploy jacks. Reverse when leaving, Air up, jacks up, slides in.....Dennis

Slides are installed in the Factory with the Motorhome leveled. So it is always a good Idea to level before moving slides.

In many cases this may be true. But, with Monaco the slides were installed with the coach at "ride height" with the air bags fully inflated. When setting up, the slides are deployed first, the air bags are dumped and then the jacks are extended to level. When breaking camp, the air bags are fully inflated, the jacks are retracted and then the slides are brought in.

The manual will tell you. On our previous '08 Monaco Dynasty, we had to put the slides out first, then level.

Actually, our new coach has the same procedure. Slides out, then level.

Check your manual is good advice. If no manual I would call Monaco in Coburg, OR.

My Monaco manual says slides first but a different model than yours.

Do you have an owner's manual? If yes, it will tell you the exact procedure. All Monico's (sic) and their siblings (Beaver, Holiday Rambler, and Safari) with the three-point leveling system require that once you have parked, the slides come out first, then release air system, and then deploy the jacks. Reverse the procedure when leaving.

Again... read your "Monaco" owner's manual.
