Purchased 2008 Monaco Camelot 40 PDQ
Well I been looking for sometime now for a used coach. Finally got a great deal on this one. Lots to learn so questions to follow on the forum. Thanks to everyone who posted to my previous topics on different models of Monaco. First question that I have not specifically seen yet: this coach has not power leveling jacks, not mentioned in build sheet. It uses the airbags for leveling. Anyone have further clarification? Thx in advance. The coach has 70 k on it with all service records. Any recommendations on servicing? I was thinking of starting fresh on oil, filters, fuel filters etc.

We have an 09 42KFQ. Same colors as yours!
The air leveling is superb, and the Roadmaster chassis is grand! Speedco does our oil, filter, fuel filters, chassis lube, and oil test, $230, gennie service about $50. If the air filter has not been changed, I recommend it.
The air dryer filter and hydraulic filter may also be due.
Do you have Aqua Hot?
Happy Trails

To answer what I think you asked .. Air leveling is automatic or you can manually level .. There are no "jacks" going to the ground , just the suspension air bags that inflate or deflate to level . The coach is so heavy you won't need the ground contact for stability if that's a question
Congratulations !

Maybe you can enlighten me on the air bag leveling procedures, I'm a power jack equipment guy all day long, not much experience in air bags.
