Just got this MH, trying to work out a few problems, any thoughts would be helpful. My rear camera is not clear, fuzzy and dime, can hardy see the car muchless what is going on with it? Cruse control worked last wk, but not today, dash lt says cruse on , aladdin system says cruse off. Is there a fuse?Last question, should the aqua hot system when hooked to 50 amps heat my coach when temp is below 40? I must use diesel , is this normal? Thanks in advance

Yes normal on the AquaHot. Cruise...did you have the jake brake in the on position??? If so cruise will not/should not set. With cruise on and activate jake it will/should kill the cruise. Maybe the glass cover on the camera is dirty??

Hope it's all that simple. What model Monaco??

You might try giving us a little more info on your MH as most of us aren't mind readers. LOL It will help narrow it down to owners of your specific MH which should help getting some responces.
As far as the Aqua-Hot I believe there were a couple of different wattage electric heaters used in them so depending on which wattage you have you will get different results as far as heating goes. Mine on electric does an admirable job of heating the water and coach but to get maximum heat the diesel needs to help it. If hooked up to 50 amp and it is really cold I run both that way the diesel isnt running as much.

Yes, jake break was on! I thought about that today, so I turned it off and still cruse will not set, however I,m not on road, just setting in campground? Am I missing something? It should still lock on even sitting still, right? Yes, my lens are clean on outside, but not sure about inside?

Asheville, start with this info: http://www.vipwheels.com/WEB%20PAGES/techsupport.html
If this is not your wheel, do a search for vip wheels and find yours. It will tell you what it can and cannot do.

Cruise will not set when parked, mine is for the fast idle when I am parked. Start the engine turn on the cruise and hit set, this should bring your idle up to 1k rpm.

If the Cruise On dash indicator is on then that only means that your Smart Wheel has turned on power to the cruise control. Your Aladdin Engine Page will show if it is engaged and at what speed. Cruise Control in the Signature is engaged by holding the SET button in for a second and not the RES button. The RES only works to RESUME speed if it was SET and you used the brakes and it disengaged it. RES also increases the speed one MPH a push.. For fast idle when parked you have to hit the RES button on the steering wheel and not the SET button. Cruise will work with the Jake on but not with the Jake floor pedal pushed. If below 40* there is no way I can heat my Sig without the diesel furnace on. If only on electric heat then it only blows slightly warm air. The later Aqua Hots have two electric elements and are better but you have to use the diesel furnace. I still leave the electric element turned on to save fuel.

On my 05 Exec if I am using the cruise and I don't want to hit the brake I can hit the jake and it will take it off cruise but when doing so you can not hit the resume and continue you first have to turn the jake off and then you can hit resume and the cruise will go back to work.
