Couple of questions on Monaco Signature

Really like this coach but have a few questions. 2009 Monaco Signature.

First, none of the cameras work, checked fuses under drivers foot well and steps, none are blown. The screen comes on but nothing is visible. Even the screen in the bedroom does the same thing. Just wondering if anyone else had this issue.

Second, anyone tried wireless cameras? I need one for my race car trailer which means something with an 80 foot range.

Third, slideout seals, do you have to get them through Monaco or is there a less expensive place?

Fourth, the front right suspension sags after about 2 hours, the compressor runs too often in my opinion. I sprayed soapy water on the connections and bags and nothing bubbles. Anyone see this before and know another test?



Fifth, where do you find 36 inch wiper blade replacements?

Sixth, and this is simply for your information. We needed new REAR tires and could not get 295 80 22.5 tires quick enough and had to get 315 80 22.5 instead. Out of the 6 rear tires only problem was the tag axle, they barely fit, almost touching the mud flaps in the back. I wanted a more robust tire since I tow a heavy trailer and this fit the bill.

First the cameras may be OK. It could be the monitor. Even if it lights up. Pull the monitor back and see if all the video wires are connected.
The 36 inch blades are junk. I use the 28" standard ones from NAPA or Amazon. The 36" ones would float at high speed and not make contact with the glass. I think it is because of the vertical windshield.

You sure they are 36"

I recently replaced mine on my 08' Scepter, and it took 32". Found them on Amazon. They weren't cheap.

Slideout seals. check uni-grip.com. Download catalog and perhaps you can match the profile. Worked for my Windsor perfectly and I understand uni-grip supplied many of the Monaco seals.

You can get the wiper blades (and just about anything else that you need) by calling 616-965-9619 and ask for Sue Lamkin, she has been able to get me any part that I ever needed for my Signature. Tell her that Charles from Virginia sent you and she'll take great care of you.
