JP. And 007. Thanks for this info I will crawl in there after the rain stops. Great forum and lots of info. I have been on the Monaco forum for the last five years and can tell you how much all of the info that you guys have provided is a treasure. I have gained a lot of knowledge from them and now look forward to learning from this forum and providing some info back. Great place to keep our motor homes running up to par. I do like the 600 horses this big boy has.
Thanks. Steve

"Smosher".....I had the same complaint as you when I first bought the coach, my first RV with a hydronic heater. If the weather is warm and the water coming into the coach is warm, the two electric heaters will give you a hot shower. If the weather is cool to cold and you're using the cold water coming out of the ground at the campsite you'll need the diesel burner on, especially if you're running the furnace. Try the shower with both electric elements on and the burner. That way the burner will supplement during showering and stay off the rest of the day.

I don't know what type diverter valve they use on the London Aire shower, but someone here recommended that I look behind the handle for a hot water restrictor. Sure enough, I removed the shower handle (allen wrench) and found a red plastic ring. I removed the ring (just pull it out) and it gave the valve about another 1/8" - 1/4" ability to rotate. I'm now getting HOT showers.

Oasis Zone Pump fixed!
My Zone 1 circ pump hasn’t run since I acquired this ‘15 DSDP in June. My wise old buddy Smitty77, advised my to: 1. check power to pump/fuse 2. tap firmly on pump 3. replace pump. Temp’s dropping so finally motivated to dive in. Been researching where to order pump, etc. So, open distribution panel, switched on service switch, checked 12volt to pump - good, rapped on pump with pliers - WALLA! Pump runs! Cycled several times, pump working great! Thanks to Smitty77, 007, and DSD! Also realized summer loop pump runs constantly in storage? Have started turning off Oasis power button when stored.
(Didn’t know best place to put this nugget, so posting it here...)

The summer loop pump should NOT run constantly in storage. The pump is supposed to run until the boiler fluid drops below 120 degrees then it should shut off. So when in storage as long as you have the AC heating elements and burner off the pump should not run once the unit cools down.

Thanks SomeDay - I will confirm that my Summer Loop is running all the time. A chance I’ve caught it after engine heat or an element had been heating. Hope so, or back in I go...

Turns out my Summer Loop is running all the time. Even with Boiler power button off it runs, I had to turn off house battery to stop pump. Must be the thermostat... Diving back in, tight quarters in there...

To follow-up my summer-loop running all the time issue -
Had a bad "Heat Available Aquastat". It tested as a closed circuit even when cold which kept pump running. ITR confirmed this on phone. Replaced aquastat, summer loop now only runs when boiler is hot. Thx again SomeDay!
