The easiest way I know is to fire it up, go around back and listen for the purge valve to release. At least then you'll know the general vicinity to look. If it's a Freightliner chassis, it might be on the driver's side of the rear axle. It might be in front or in back of the axle. The filter will probably be a canister on top of the air dryer.

Do you mean 'where on my rig is the air dryer' or 'what store carries the filter for my air dryer'?
Mine is mounted just aft of the rear axel, it that's what you're after?

That's a smart ideal, you would think I would have though of that beings I was a mechanic for over 40 years. I think I need kick started to get going again, GOOD OLD AGE!

Monaco mounts the air dryer inside the frame rail on the drivers side just inside the rear wheels.
Make sure you have a heavy duty filter wrench to remove it as they are tough.

Mid-ship just forward of the rear axle. Look up with a flashlight as it is fairly hidden. It is a large canister pointed down.

You may need to find the same gorilla they had install them to get the old one off even with a metal strap wrench.

Since you have a rr4r chassis, I would suspect your filter to be driver side behind the rear wheel and behind the AC condenser. It was there on my Cayman with use the same chassis.

"Licking Texas"....if your coach is like most newer Monacos, it will be on the driver's side, just in front of the rear wheels. There should be a louvered door with two barrel locks (that round key you always wondered what it was for). Once you open the door, you'll find the dash A/C condenser. It has a lever on the right, turn it and swing the condenser open. Once you have all that opened up, you should see your air dryer down on the left. It will look like a LARGE upside down oil filter. It should be a Wabco brand. Make sure all your air is dumped by opening the brass valves at the front and rear of the coach. If it hasn't been removed in awhile, you may need a strap wrench. You should also have one or two fuel filters in there and the pump for jacks.

I want to thank everyone for helping me. I bought this motorhome this summer, I got several manuals, with this safari, I though I looked trough all the manuals, so I got the owners manual out again, and here's what I found.  # 8 what I'm looking for.
 I'm one of the kind of person, that can be looking for something, have it in front of me, but still can't find it.
I think the people on irv2, are some really good folks, they like helping everyone out, and enjoying life. I want to thank you for taking there time to show me how to work on my motorhome. I hope I get to meet some of you good campers at some campground's. Randy
