Keyless entry 2008 Monaco Diplomat

I am trying to figure out what is going on with my keyless entry. When I purchased the coach the keyless system did not work. I changed batteries in the remote and still nothing. I set off trying to locate the device. I found it under the center cabinet in front of the dash. I checked the wires and everything checked out good. I placed the remote next to the controller and it functioned. It worked for a few hours and stopped working again. I opened the drawer placed the remote close to the controller and it started working again, only to stop after a few hours. Any ideas on what could cause this?

Should be a wire a few feet long coming out of the controller, it's an antenna, straighten it out. Your key fob might be giving out on the transmitter side. Replacement would be the only cure if the battery is good

If changing battery in remote fails and receiver antenna is properly placed, the other possibility is that the receiver has gone bad. If Monaco quotes you a big$ price for replacement, there are other alternatives: Aftermarket companies like Viper make remote keyless systems to replace it.

Look for the model number on the control box under the dash. A 2008 model should have a Trimark system. You may be able to purchase a replacement from Trimark or possible find one on eBay.
