Rear trailing arm issue: I believe that would be Monaco & Holiday Rambler (HR) models with the Roadmaster frame from 2002-2007. I have a 2004 Holiday Rambler 34.5 ft (otherwise called a 35’) with the Roadmaster frame, and as of a few weeks ago the right rear trailing arm sheared off as advertised. Someone upstairs was watching out for me and I made it back home unscathed and un-towed. Cost to replace it (quoted to me) is $2,250.+$160 shipping. Source Engineering Inc, in Oregon, is the only known manufacturer of better, stronger replacement units. Call them @ 458/207-9442. Check them out for a few other replacement parts that Monaco “built for failure”. They have some good people there that can answer your questions.
Oh and I really like my HR Neptune, 300 hp 5.9L Cummins diesel, Allison 5 spd, 2 slides, 5.5k diesel genset, loaded with features. Yeah, under powered, only 5K towing capacity, but hey, it is fun for us.
