I like the way Jim thinks. His dues next year are free.

In the rear engine compartment of a Monaco nose high is the tag adjustment valve.
I compared the valve to looking like a valve that we have on our buses so he could identify it.

John, Like Art, I have my stretcher arms reversed which allows my 5′ 7″ reach to put my awning up and down from on the ground easily.
The stretcher arm is removed from the axle of the awning, turned 180 degrees and affixed to the top of the coach at the level of the axle. So instead of trying to put the arm into the fitting at the top of the awning, it now goes to the axle of the fully extended awning which is down low.
Zip Dee did my reversal when they still did repairs at the factory.

I think Andy was just sharing information, I didn’t see any comment otherwise. I’m sure the Europeans just love that deal.

Les,
That sounds like a neat app to have!
Thanks for the suggestion!
Safe travels,

The other big difference I’ve noticed is the H chassis offers more height in the bays and the xl2 chassis offers a bit more height in the cabin. Which… could make a difference depending on the person…

A turbo boost reading should be zero until power (RPM’s) increase. While 14 PSI might represent atmospheric pressure, no turbo boost gauge or reading I have ever seen starts at 14. Turbo boost is always measured as an increase from atmospheric pressure.
At high altitudes expect boost to be lower than at sea level altitudes.

Hi fillhobson and welcome to the forum. The advice you’ve received is just right! The only thing I would add is at the point you decide “That’s the bus for me”! Take your time learning about your bus, I’d even say to make it into a two day event. Maybe 6 hours or so on the outside and maybe even a little more on the inside.
Like you, this is my first bus, first RV of any kind for that matter. There is so much to see, hear and learn that by the time you get inside you’re worn out and your brain becomes silly putty. At least that was my experience. When you’re tired you simply don’t retain as you need too.
There is just so much to learn… Do yourself a huge favor and take the time needed. You will be very happy you did and you’ll also find out what the owner/dealer knows when answering your questions which will be many! Remember that there is no other bus built like yours, not a one, so get your education while you can. And if the owner/seller isn’t willing to give you the time. I for one would find another bus!
I know I swerved off subject here. It’s just the best chance you’ll have to really learn about your specific bus before turning the ignition and driving off.
Oh, and Always turn the ignition on before driving off. You can quote me on that!

Tim, you know where we are, so drop by any time. I have a spare room and can use adapters to cut my 50 amp down to fit your new ride.
Say Hi to Cindy for us.

So Jon, did you research the tanning bed salons in your area to find out which number to put on before going under the lights?

Man, you tried to be proactive and still ended up with an airbag issue. I hate when stuff like that happens. There has got to be someone mobile in Houston with the ability to change a front airbag.
Glad you are in a safe place.
