Now that you've fixed the fins...get a big bag of zip ties and go through the coach and zip tie the wiring about every 12-18". That will keep them from moving around while the coach is moving.

Dennis, where are you finding this wiring that needs to be zip-tied?
Just had the hydraulic hose replaced that runs to the bedroom hydraulic slide. Apparently, Monaco had a bad batch from 2006-2008 model years. We had just one that was slightly seeping fluid. I decided to get it replaced so when we sell, the new owner will know issues were corrected as needed.
The guys that replaced the hydraulic hose (51 feet, they tell me) was zip-tied from the factory so they had to remove each basement ceiling to replace the new hose. I just have not found a bunch of loose wires to zip-tie.

Not unusual for numerous things to be zip-tied away from harm on most any vehicle. I found some sort of line rubbing against the steering wheel shaft under the hood of my coach, and of course I tied it off with a grocery store twist-tie. But of course, zip-ties are the best. On several years of German-made automobiles and truck (in the mid-'90s) wiring harnesses were made to biodegrade! Ha!
