Falconman, I would definitely pass on that Dynasty that you mentioned unless you can get it for a steal.
An '05 Dynasty is similar to our '08.
I've replaced my 'red hat' valve twice just getting the new one a couple of months ago. This valve is what allows you to put water in your fresh-water tank through the shore water hose. Both times, the valve stuck in the fresh water fill position. This time, I bought the valve myself and had it installed so it came with directions. They say to use it monthly to keep it from sticking (now I know).
Our coolant tank on the engine has been replaced twice and it looks like I'm going to have to get another one. The current one is one year old and passed its warranty. The recent repair on it didn't work, it is leaking at the top fittings. The JB weld that the Cummins shop put on it didn't take so now that I'm 2,000 miles away from the shop, I may as well get a new box and be done with it.
I try to keep on top of maintenance and repairs so there is never a long list. Whoever gets our coach will get a super well maintained unit (new tires and AGM batteries). You might find it at a consignment shop in about 8-10 months as we are thinking of trading up to our last coach.
One thing I can say about the Monaco line of coaches, is that they had beautiful woodwork and fit and finish. Especially in their upper end coaches.
MM.
