I have posted this before and got no real answer to my year group

YEAR: 1992
BRAND: MONACO

MODEL: SIGNATURE

SYSTEM: LEVELING JACKS

On the above referenced motorhome it has the 3 jack system. I need to service the jacks. I think I blew a line at the shuttle vale on the left side. The only thing that look I a tank is a small round tank mounted to what looks like a GM starter motor they are mounted underneath the coach on the co pilot side. I have not found any other type tank for the jacks. If this is the tank how do I service it it looks like it has a very small service port on top. If there is another tank could a another mid 90s Signature owner please let me know where it is at or send me a picture. When I had my Bluebird the tank was just forward of the entry steps. I have not found any tank that size except for the fan hub/power steering tank in the back. Any help would be appreciated

There is no other tank for the jacks, just the one that you saw. The Jack system is RVA.
WWW. rvajacks.com
The website is down right now.

Hugh RVA jack sys is a good system and the folks at RVA are good folks to deal with, after you get the line fixed and need to refill the tank the procedure for refilling is to extend the front jack 6 inches turn on the ign key ( so the low fluid bong will sound) fill the tank with dexron trans fluid until the bong stops.

Thank you. My owner's manual just said service with one jack down six inches but failed to give the full procedure. I was able to download it from RVA today. Got to finsh up the engine swap before I move from the back. I let it run hot. Cummins in Birmingham diagnosis metal in oil and three cylinders scored. That all they told me oh yeah a reman would be 25k. On the tow from AL to GA wrecker drive broke pinion shaft. Hopefully it be back in next week. Big job. After a break it be on to the next project. 22 years on the road, some redneck work has caused some thing to stop work or not work all the way. The time part is doable the red neck stuff ????.

Hugh the Blistein comfort are about half the price of the Koni and folks have reported good success with them. Are you repairing the Engine your self and is it the 8.3.

I have the 10 mechanical. Yes I am doing most of the work myself. A friend of mine has a shop with a big concret area. He also has about 20 years more truck/bus/ car experience than I do plus any special tools and equipment I don't have. If I had not worked on airplanes for 20 plus years the 2 years on trucks and teaching automotive for 6 I would not even considered it. I am glad I don't have a pesky customer want to know when it be done. The rearend goes back in tomorrow and the engine and tranny some time next week. This job definitely requires a fork lift. We raised the back about 18" for clearance. It slides back and down. There are no mounts on the transmission so you have to take it out as a unit.

Once my bank account recovers the next big job is the shocks.
