Example complaints
Brakes: “I own a 2001 monaco Knight which I bought in 2006. We took a trip with our rv on 9/19/2008 and the brakes seized up. This caused the brake pads, rotors, bearings and oil reservoir to fail. While driving I smelled something, so I stopped to find out what the problem was. The wheels were actually smoking, it had not broke out into a fire yet, but I am sure it would have if I kept driving. I searched the web and found recall number 02v278000, monaco's recall number r02175 which described the exact same problem. …”
