'Engine Brake Level 1 & 2' wires?

[Happycarz]

Great idea for the slide out. I could pull the fuse to my interlock relay in my front run panel, if I so desired and they would work all the time. Each coach is different, though

Fortunately, I ordered my coach with hydraulic leveling. I added 2 isolation solenoids for front and rear air bags. Now I can dump my air bags without have to fan my brakes to get air tanks below 60 PSI. These are normally closed solenoids with a 100% duty cycle, that open with key on. I did add a dash switch to leave them closed while camping. In the morning my air tanks are still full and I don’t have to wait for air pressure to come up. I also turned my air governor up to 130 PSI.

Looking at your right-most dash in that photo, Harry, I see that you have separate tank gauges, mine are combined with the tach instead of your oil pressure and engine temp. Gotta love those snowflakes.
What vintage is your coach? Best I can determine, mine is a late September '07 build (SN xxx712759).



Yeah, I know... (but, hey, I started the topic )

[96 Wideglide]

I got the same dash as Harry, with a pair of air tank gauges.

[RustyTools]

Go figure. Be interesting to see what's still available if (when?) I have to replace any of them.

I've got the Medallion and VMSpc setups too, so I do get accurate (hope so, anyways) digital indications of everything, but those itty-bitty multiple gauge sets bug me.

But then, my instrument-flying instructor always stressed that an analog gauge that is seen to move really only means that the mechanism isn't froze-up.

I ordered my 2008 coach in April 2007 and it was finished in June 2007. Coach #712452.
71 is plant number with the last 4 digits being sequential order of all units coming off that line. I just don’t know what number Monaco started with for MY 2008, maybe 2400. Dunno.

Late MY 2008 switched from the Aladdin Jr to the Medallion monitoring system.

My joy stick for the Aladdin used to be where the I put the new A/C vent. The existing A/C vents were 40” from the driver. No joy in trying to stay comfortable in AZ heat. I also added second one to a vacant spot on the left side of the gauge panel.



Yeah, I swapped the speedometer with the fuel gauge. When steering wheel was in comfortable driving position, the speedometer view was obstructed.

Hmmm, my Aladdin never came with a joystick. Why would you need one ?

The joystick is how you move through the screen choices (Coach Electric status, Tank status, Camera selection, Engine status, etc). Up down, then right to select, left to exit back to menu.
That's for the full Aladdin system. Not sure about the Aladdin Jr.

[96 Wideglide]

I have the keypad you see in Harry's first dash pic. It has up, down, left, right, select. Just wondering why you would need both.

[Happycarz]

It is for scrolling through all the Aladdin menus. How do you move from looking at engine parameters to trip meter on yours, without some controller, IE joystick?

[96 Wideglide]

Ok. You guy's are calling a 'joystick', what I'm calling a keypad.

I have the same controller you have.

[Happycarz]

I agree with your terminology being more accurate. Back when they were still available, folks searching for them were calling them "joysticks," a misnomer for sure.

[CountryB]

I wasn't award the Aladdin had two styles of "joysticks"- I wonder if they are interchangeable. The style on the left is what is used in my coach.

[falconman]

They were interchangeable for me. When my “joystick” failed I was lucky enough to find the keypad which works fine.

[CountryB]

Thanks for letting me know that are interchangeable. I like the style on the Right (you're calling "Keypad" style).

If I ever come across one at a reasonable price, I may just grab it. But I'm not going to spend $350 (used E-Bay price) for one.
