Another Question where to add leveling jack fluid

[devildog1971]

We are leaving Pahrump Nevada now The jacks make a bing sound on rough roads, the manual said that means the fluid is low, it also states the reservoir is in the front by the generator. There is a generator dash air conditioner lines a horn. This is a 2002 Monaco diplomat. we are leaving now to head to Troutdale Oregon to visit our daughter who will be in country from April 13 to April 23. If you can help with where to locate the reservoir I would be grateful Thanks and see you on the Road

The HI line signature series Monaco's and HR's had the pump up front by the entry steps. Diplomats and the equivalent HR were behind the Rear Side AC Condenser unit. Doug

My 2006 Diplomat has this location.

Probably a side/radiator rear/radiator thing Don...and I know the Diplomat is a rear radiator..the dynasty someone else mentioned is a side radiator.

At some point in time, Monaco moved the pump to the door in front of the rear wheel. I'm not sure what year that started. That's why I said MINE is located by the rear wheel.

Monaco obviously built every coach differently. On our 1997 Monaco, the reservoir is directly in front of the drivers side front tire. You have to turn the front tires all the way to the right in order to gain access.

"devildog1971"......Your jack pump should be on the driver's side just in front of the rear wheel. You should have a mesh door there with a barrel key. Open the door and you'll see the dash A/C condenser. Unlock it and swing it open. Once both doors are open you'll see your jack pump. Right in the middle of the pump (on top) is a large nut with a breather. You remove this nut and fill with trans fluid.

With the three jack system, you should lower the front jack six inches. Have your spouse turn on the ignition key, which should make your jack alarm sound. Add fluid until the alarm quits.

That nut/breather on top of the tank is a bad design. It's too short and allows fluid to easily leak out. You can buy a brass 3/8" threaded brass nipple, about 3" long and extend that breather. This way you won't puke out so much fluid.

Remember to check your manual about how you're suppose to measure the tank level. Most want you to retract slides & jacks, while others do not.

Have the wife run the jacks up and down while your outside listen for the motor sound the reservoir for the fluid should be with the motor.
