Help Wanted on 2007 Monaco Electric Hose Reel

[moorwoble]

Hi all. I subscribe to & read this forum daily but have never jumped in. Hope I’m doing this right. Apologies if not.
Question. I have a 2007 Monaco 42’ SFT wall slide. My fresh water inlet hose is in terrible shape & needs to be replaced. It uses a “Shorline Reel” model #CW40D electric hose reel. The entire ass’y is mounted behind a plastic facia wall which has multiple faucets, valves, electrical switches & so forth mounted on it. I need to get behind that wall to access hose & reel. I would sure appreciate some suggestions if someone has done this before. I don’t have photos at the moment but can provide them if that would help. Thanks for any input!!

This is the new member check-in area. You may find better help with your Issue in Monaco. Look above on the TOP MENU and click on OWNERS FORUM and then click on MONACO. Now as for this overall forum.

Welcome to the IRV2.COM

Hello, I am a member myself and wanted to take some time to welcome you and your family to this IRV2 Forum. As you may feel somewhat overwhelmed by all there is to see, read and learn here from others.

So, if you will let’s sit and have a cup <[_]””[_]>’’’’’’ Here is the place to share what’s on your mind as it relates to RV’ing. Everything is here, just for folks and Families. I have some TIPS which I hope will make your visits here more enjoyable. Kind of your FORUM Driving Instructor lol.

Some TIPS:

On top are two menus and the one on top is the forum and the one below that is more helpful and personal for you to tell your story by clicking on USER CP.

So now I would like to show you your SIGN IN Screen. On top RIGHT, is where you click to login and you will find your name, but also are the messages sent to you by the IRV2 Administrators who keep everything running like a well-made Grandfather’s Clock. Now move your eyes to the TOP LEFT and you will see the HOME key, click and you will find a very easy forum menu for your review. But going all the way down to the bottom at the STATS MENU for the over-all Forum DATA. Now panning over from HOME to FORUMS, click and a small MENU will open showing you Community, RV Lifestyle, Reginal and RV Camping Forums. But there is more. The next two are RV FORUMS, OWNER FORUMS, PHOTOS, CLASSIFIEDS, CAMPGROUNDS, and MORE. One last point if I may, when you POST a NEW THREAD go down under the TEXT INPUT and add some TABS, anywhere between 1 or 5-TABS, EXAMPLE: dog, dogs, pets, Campfiredogs, and make sure to add a comma between each TAB. TABS act as FORUM addresses to get your post to others who are interested in reading about? “your dog stories” lol

But before you explore each of them something you should know about is THE MEMBERS MENU. Under the MENU I just told you about is your menu and lots to see and do here as well.

First, click on USER CP and once this opens a menu on the left from top to bottom will appear. Just take them one at a time adding your information as to what you would like the IRV2 forum folks to know about you? Next is about your REGISTER, FILES over to writing your own BLOG moreover to LOGGING OUT.

There is a lot to a Motorhome we call our Recreational Vehicle, RV. One last point as from time to time at the end of a word you will see down arrow ^, yes, I know it’s up, sorry did not have a down arrow on my keyboard. Clicking on them you will find sub-menus and more information to guide you on each of your IRV2 Travels.

Make sure to read and review the rules.

Any questions just post and ask the group as a whole or having IRV2 Forum Friends in your Personal File can also be helpful in asking bouncing questions off. Now we're coming to the end of this very quick intro

So, explore and when ready SHARE your knowledge skills and abilities with IRV2 forum.

Looks like my CUP is almost empty…[_]>’’ “”” ‘’

Safe Travels and Happy Trails, as you explore by RV the Freedom that is the American Road Trip.

Welcome.
DogMan

Not sure about your model, but on my coach, you can access behind the white wet bay panel by crawling into the storage bay ahead of it, and removing two screws that hold a panel between the two bays.

I replaced the hose in our Monaco with this 35' Camco 5/8" diameter anti-kink hose from Amazon. I had to cut the male end off and clamped it onto the fitting from the reel.

My '05 Dip's fresh water hose reel still works, but it shakes & rattles. The assembly needs tightened-down before it falls off. I too would appreciate suggestions if someone has removed the white plastic wall. There is no access via the bay in front of it. Do all the plumbing fixtures need taken apart, or will removing the side screws give me enough access to get in there and find what's loose?

I've taken the white plastic panel out. It's do-able but somewhat tedious. You need to disconnect any electrical and plumbing first. My shower body is mounted on it as well. I can reach up and unscrew the connecters on the PEX intake of the shower valve to release that. Once everything is released and the side screws holding the panel to the walls are out, you can gently work the panel out of the bay. Your hose reel will be fully accessible at that point.

Bill,
Good info. Thanks.

Following the suggestions of some on here who've 'been-there-done-that', I cut the white panel vertically in half and then used some screws and a piece of aluminum bar-stock to re-attach when I closed it up.



Made for much easier access for the next times (note the 'plural' context ) I had to go back in there to fix something else.
