Entry door adjustments/diagram

[greenman]

Hi yall. Might anyone have information/drawing of the entrance door locking mech. for a 98 Sig? I do not know how many years this system was used, but know it was changed in 99. It is a rather complicated "vault or pressure door" system which employs at least 4 microswitches, several cams, rods which rotate as the result of the action of an electric gear motor, as well as at least 2 relays in the door, and another small gear motor. The door closes by itself when partially closed, and draws in to close by the action of the large gearmotor. Problem is the door will close, but will not open again with the handle. Monaco tec says they have nothing to help, no pic. no adj. specs. So I asked if I brought it to Coburg since there are no adj. specs. then they could not fix it either, and was told, well they would take it apart. Ha-Ha. If anyone can help, I would be most greatfull. BTW, the tec said "well that was not a popular door". I had another 98 Sig with the same style door, and doubt that it was an option. Thank you for any help you might have to offer. C.J. Jones 98 Sig 42" pushed by a 2000 Kia, roasting in AZ.

I can't help you but you might want to try checking the Monacoers group on Yahoo. Many of the members own older high end coaches and are very helpful. You will have to have a Yahoo ID and then request membership. I think this is a link to the site Monacoers : Monacoers

We had a 98 Sig with the same door. According to the previous owner, the electric door was still working fine in 2008, when the previous owner had the electric part disabled/removed at a Monaco rally. My understanding is that Monaco started disabling/removing the electric part of these doors 10+ yrs ago because people were getting trapped in their MH.

We hope this helps.
