Vehicle description
Please buy our beloved Monaco Dynasty!It is a 34" diesel pusher in darn good shape for it"s age (with a few caveats, I"ll fill you in on later).
Purchased first by a NASA electrical engineer, this coach lived with him for over 20 years in an air conditioned garage. The engineer was fastidious with his maintenance and even drew up complete wiring diagrams for everything on the coach. As he advanced in age, he sold it to a friend of our"s father as they were both pilots. Our friend"s father stored it in an air conditioned garage as well, using it rarely as his wife felt it was "too big".
We"d been looking for a Class A for some time and when we found out it was available we jumped on it right away. I could not believe how clean it was for it"s age and we took a shake down trip without incident.
Upon returning home, we discovered that there had been some cracking on the roof which created a small leak into the bedroom. We re-sealed the whole roof (three coats of elastomeric sealant). After that, we prepared for our planned summer tour (4.5 months on the road as a family of five). . We cleaned everything, tested all the systems, even had a beautiful triple bunk bed installed where there had been a chair and desk.
In July, we finally set off!This trip was not like the other one though. Things were GREAT until we hit Georgia. . The generator stopped working and the interior temperature quickly hit 97 degrees. Eventually, we discovered it was the throttle actuator (a cheap part). But then we started losing power. Gone were the easy hill climbs with the turbo doing it"s job. . In its place? White smoke from the exhaust and 15mph hills. We made it to Cummins of Spartanburg, SC by the skin of our teeth. . The front right tire just entering the driveway before the engine said "enough is enough". Cummins tore into the motor the next day, informing us that the failure was with the Monaco built charge air cooler. Direct from Monaco the part is available. I"ve spoken with several machinists and mechanics. They all believe it could be re-built fairly easily by the right person. . I mean, it still runs and drives! But that person isn"t me. . and the RV is in North Carolina far from our home. .
So, our loss could very well be your gain. It"s not perfect, but it has great bones and we truly loved making it perfect for our little family. The mechanics at Cummins said that the worst thing about it was simply that it hadn"t been driven ENOUGH.

We"d originally planned to keep it, fix it up, and sell our newer bus. But now it"s just too big of a task. Please buy and love this thing for us!
