The switch turns on the 12volt water pump. It supplies pressure to the water system when you do not have city water pressure. The switch can be left on while camping and the pump will cycle on/off with its pressure switch. Turn off during travel

Both Workhorse and Ford have 50 degree wheel cut angle.

Usually personal prefernce and location of nearest chassis service facility are very important .www.class-c-motorhome-info-made-simple.com/motorhome_chassis.html will also give you comparisons.

The side walls on my Monaco LaPalma Coach are delaminating, how can I repair this myself. I have tools available to repaint and repair damage, but I do not know how to start on this problem

Delamination is usually caused by heat or water intrusion. Be sure to determine and cure the cause first. The lamination process when being produced uses contact glue applied to two surfaces then put through a vacuum process. Repairs are done with the same contact glue. After the wall is reglued then pressure can be applied to wall to achieve lamination.

Yes, the slide will need to be opened beyond wall to allow carpet installation under the slide room. This does not require removing slide but it does require removing interior flashing around slide to allow room to extend beyond normal operation. It is very important to fasten carpet on edge properly to prevent carpet from being damaged,

What light is on? If not sure of what it is warning refer to owners manual or give me a description of location, color and shape of light and chassis.

As of late, my coach has become infested with ants (of various sizes.) I wonder if I could use an atomizer inside the coach, so as to quickly eliminate this problem (I use them at home when needed and they work like a charm.) My concern is with the somewhat reduced area inside my coach (it's 25 feet long) and the possible effects on the cabinets, fabrics, and leather. I'm guessing that no, there shouldn't be any problem, but I wonder...

Thanks!

I have used bug bombs to elimate ants many times. Then put some ant traps under cabinets and in storage compartments. Also treat ground where unit is stored.

Delamination is usually caused by a water leak. It is going to depend on how much damage the luan has sustained. If delamination only and no other structual damage has occured then the fiberglass can be re-glued. Much easier to perform if delamination is located under a window or some other item that can be removed. If luan damage has occured this will be an extensive repair and I would suggest you get estimates from qualified RV body repair specialist. The fiberglass panel will need to be removed to replace damaged wood befor being re-glued.

Anyone have trouble with the leveling system on their coach? Sometimes mine will not go down when setting up, other times it's time to leave a park and they won't retract. I've had it to the dealer and unless it is NOT working at that moment, they can't help me. And of course they are always working when you don't want them to. I have power at the panel, just nothing happens whan you push the buttons. I have almost narrowed it down to the ignition switch....I think!? If I fiddle around with it, (and I'm a great fiddler, ask my wife) It will again start to work, but this sometimes takes 20 minutes or more.
Can somebody offer me some help?
