There is no, none, nada difference in the Monaco a/c system and your Ford or Chevy. The hoses just happen to be a bit longer. ANY a/c shop can charge or repair them. Question is, will they? In our wonderful "service" industries it seems that any situation that is "outside the box" calls for an immediate "we don't work on those".
The problem may be as simple as a bad mixer valve. If an intermediate temp. is selected it allows some heater operation. If bad (stuck open) hot water from the engine is always in the picture. Typically a diesel with the looong heater hoses has two off/on valves at the engine, one "in" and the other is "out". I assume they are there in case of a heater leak, their use would then allow you to get to a repair facility. A lot of folks turn them off for summer use as an added safety measure. You might try that also.
