I love this kind of question! Is your 8.3 a 12 valve with an inline bosch pump? or the 24 valve ISC with the CAPS pump? Is the engine actually speeding up and slowing down with the flashers, or is it just the tachometer?

Thanks David. I do hope that the rest of the systems work well for a nice long time. At least, we have some recent experience with our previous gas rig that we had to do some post COVID repairs on since it was a 2022, but had a few of those 'get it out the door regardless of quality' issues.
I'm hoping to be able to get with the previous owner and have them give me the 'real' deal on how to run this coach since he's local and is the original owner when he bought it new in 2016.

Not sure if this is the right number for you, but points you in a direction This could also just be a wiring problem or a control box problem. You can inspect it by airing up the front end and taking a look. Be careful to not get caught in the steps if they decide to actuate.

What is the model number of the PI device plugged into the pedestal?
Your Surge Guard 40350RVC Transfer Switch is an excellent one providing you have the remote display that shows how well your power pedestal is performing. It does not talk to the Aladdin System though if you have that on your coach.
Hi 👋🏻 - I have the SSP-50XL - I felt it was sufficient for the pedestal with my ATS/SP onboard hardwired and really use it to test the pedestal before I plug in....just extra layer of caution.
My set up - 50 to 30 adapter plugged into pedestal with my SP plugged to that adapter then my cord reel plugged to SP.
First photo is from standing up - blue and green bright with red not really noticeable until you're direct (eye level) and it looks illuminated (2nd photo) and looks brighter in the photo than in person.
all outlets (everything) works like normal. The red light just makes me nervous and I'm not one to just "oh, it's fine" to find out it's not (overthinker) so I've reset EVERYTHING - breakers inside, outside, changed 50/30 adapter reset genny breaker....nothing stopped the red.
I checked my magnum remote in my electrical bay and all good there. I even slid the genny out to reset those breakers becauseI THINK it started when the power flickered (not related to our coach and house on property flickered - host confirmed) when it flickered, the AGS kicked genny on, but I shut it down not needed. I went and disabled my AGS just in case anyway.

However, the fundamental question remains. Where are the cylinders and are the slide cylinders part of the slide or are they mounted on the body. That varies. There is always a “third cylinder” for each slide….in use to equalize or synchronize the extension or retraction.
It's an HWH space saver slide, the cylinders are vertical at the bottom of the mechanism where it mounts on the wall.

The interior wood work removal was a 4 hour job by an expert with 30 years experience and had been “checked out” by some local references, including the ex GM of a HR dealership that had tried on several occasions to hire him. The tech had a fulltime helper.
Your post helped, I think the sink cabinet will need to be removed to get good access to that cylinder. I would either have to cut part of the cabinet to get it out over the drain pipe or cut the drain pipe for the sink. It looks like they added the drain pipes after the cabinet.
I think I will first try to cut an access hole in the back of of the corner cabinet to see if I can get sufficient access to the bottom of the cylinder and make a new fake back for that cabinet.
Thanks for the pointers!
Any tips for avoiding the mess from the transmission fluid?
Here are some pictures for more context. One shows the cabinet, one shows the cylinder in the hole behind the cabinet, and the other shows the cylinder up close at other end of the slide.

OK, so we know the problem isn't upstream (campground side).
Here's a shot in the dark: When it cools off, or better yet early tomorrow morning, unplug your coach from shore and turn your generator off. Do you have AGS? If so disable it.
Pull the cover off your 40350-RVC Transfer Switch and re-torque the lugs where the feed cables connect to the relays. Re-tighten all lugs (as in back them off and re-tighten). I forget the torque, but it's about as much as you can do with a screwdriver (square tip).
Make sure your inverter is off and do the same with the distribution panel inside the coach - feed cables only.
Re-install all covers, plug in the coach and see if that nailed it.
An alternative would be to "borrow" someone elses surge protector. Another owner might be hesitant to let you do that.

engine surges with 4 way flashers
Benjamin
You got to be kidding me! I'm shocked the engine could actually rev and slow down that fast. The only thing on that engine that could possibly do this is the shut off solenoid, the cruise control, the alternator, or the transmission. If there's no transmission codes, and the battery voltage is not also dancing along with the flashers, then I'm thinking cruise or shut off solenoid. The cruise can be disabled by removing the wire, or shutting off the vacuum pump, to see if the surge goes away. The shut off solenoid can be removed, and then pull up on the arm by hand to shut off the engine after testing.
The only other thing I can think of are if you have any gas pedal linkage that's not mechanical, or if there is any cold start aid mounted on your intake manifold, like an ether start or flame start. Those are all wacky land guess, but that's a wacky land problem. Can't wait to hear what you find.

When you say 'turn generator off' - not to sound stupid, but could you clarify because it's not running and I did disable my AGS yesterday, so good there. Do you mean the switch on the generator (beside start) that is the on/off for the 35amp switch? (I saw that today and switched it while trying to reset) so that I can do. Then, I can go to tighten the suggested wires and that's an easy try, so worth a shot. I may wait until Wednesday because I ordered a new surge protector (same one) from Amazon and figured that could be something and worth a shot, too. It will be here Wednesday.
What I also think I may try....I have a 50 to 30 amp extension cord(bought for last place I had 30) -- so,reeling my cable back into the bay (not that length matters just because no sense in being out of it doesn't need to be) - then, connecting the 50/30 extension and putting a 30amp surge on that end before it's connected to pedestal. I just thought that might be overkill (which I'm certainly not above And I have a tendency to do HAHA)
I'll try anything....I'll check back when I have had the chance to try the mentions.

Took out dash vent that had hose removed so I was a dud and put panel there. Still have to pull headlights switch 1/2 way to get other lights to come on. While running the new wiring to new panel I found a piece of note paper down in wiring mess showing headlights switch plug so as you can see there's been a problem long before I owned this mh probably smart wheel.

@96 EVO I agree, the Red LED's don't look lit up at all. A better frontal photo would be beneficial versus one angled from the top.
The SSP-50XL is only a power quality indicator plus surge. It does not provide the protection from the better EMS units. His Surge Guard Transfer Switch model 40350-RVC does provide the protection from errant power conditions but he needs the remote display to actually see what is happening with the power.
@MIRIAMDo you have the Surge Guard Transfer Switch Remote Display inside your coach?
Also, my guess is that your portable unit took some sort of a power glitch and is not working as it once did previously. That unit is still good for surges but I would not rely on it for anything else. Trust your Transfer Switch for that!

I have read all the information regarding the salesman switch. Had the problem last night, however the switch will not stay engaged. I want to bypass the solenoid. and just wanted to make sure that this is the salesman switch solenoid in the front bay under the drivers seat in my 03 Diplomat (see photo below).
Confirming that the procedure is to connect or jumper the two red wires and cut one of the small ones. Thanks for your help.

According to the label on the circuit board that is your Battery Isolator Relay, not your Battery Cut-Off Relay.
The Battery Isolator Relay is used to combine the house and chassis battery banks for charging purposes and to help jump start the engine when the chassis battery gets too low.
You need to find the Battery Cut-Off Relay which is controlled by the useless Salesman Switch at the entry door. Maybe have one person using the switch and another person looking for the relay that is clicking on/off.

Richard beat me to it. Unfortunately Monaco did not provide a 2003 Diplomat manual online.The relay is a funky looking relay or was. It may (should) have a Fuse in the top. Notice that the Battery Boost or Aux Start relay has 2 control wires. The typical Salesman Solenoid has THREE control wires. I would look in sections 8 and 9 and see there is a pictorial or diagram with location.

Read this. This gives you ALL the specs on the ATS. 40350-RVC
YES….your Surge Suppressor ATS does have OPEN Neutral Protection. See page 12. As .Richard said, it would be GOOD to have the remote monitor. Then you could check and understand.
NOW….we are getting somewhere. The Progressive you have is somewhat redundant. It MAY provide more or supplemental protection or NOT or might not be recommended.
I can’t answer that and neither can all the “experts” I talked to many years ago.
THE BEST approach. Call Southwire. Ask for Tech Support. Tell them…I have the 40350-RVC. I’m a WORRIER. I want to double up proetection….I am considering buying a 35550 plug in pedestal protector.
Will that give me MORE protection? I have been told it might conflict??
Is it OK to buy one and use both? Will i have more protection? Will they conflict?
What is Southwire’s OFFICIAL POSITION on doubling up??
THEN YOU WILL KNOW….post what they say.
Based on what your ATS says it will do….if you unplugged the Progressive, then the ATS should not give you power as the Pedestal is the problem….you KNOW THAT from the lights….

I have 2003 and 2004 manuals. If that is the relay then it looks nothing like picture. Any ideas on how to bypass it?
NOPE. That is a Bosch 5 Pin relay. There are many of them all over. The Salesman SOLENOID is rated at 80 to 100 AMPs. If you have the INTELLITEC, it looks like this one…. The semantics confuses folks. A Bosch relay is small. It has 5 pins. It plugs in. This is all covered in your manuals….read 8 & 9. The Bosch, TYPICALLY comes with 20 Amp contacts. There is a HD one that will handle 30A.
A Solenoid is for higher amps and will have STUDS for large cable connectors. The Intellitec is rated for 100A. It is 1200 Watts. Amps (100) TIMES Volts (12) equals watts. So, since it is 1200 watts, I know it is a 100 Amp rated device.
See the fuses…..they are the key. NOW, I have NO IDEA what brand your SOLENOID will be…. Trombetta or White Rodgers were two brands. OK…look at the print. On the right side…middle is a SOLENOID….to the right of it there is a box called 12 V Interior Lights. That Latching Solenoid is what you are looking for…
Find it. Chase the cables on either side. I can tell you this….assuming you have a VOM. One side (the HOUSE) side, will have voltage. It will be the exact voltage as the House batteries. When the solenoid is latched OFF, there will be NO VOLTAGE on the other stud.
You need to have someone cycle the switch. Listen and then put your hand on the “can”. You will feel it cycle. That is the one to bypass by moving one cable to the other side or jumpering with the NAPA short jumper.

Hi guys - I thought the same and it's really odd because you can see it so much brighter straight on. I thought I had a photo of both, so here is the one at eye level again. You can see the red - but - it's just not bright like the other two (looks brighter in the photo than in person)
considering i have no power issue, so the portable (progressive industries) surge protector is allowing power to pass - and - the internal ATS/Surge Guard (which checks for open neutral) is good to go, I'm debating if my PI SP is just time to replace. I think it's a 2016 anyway. (Came with coach from original owner) I just wonder if the blip yesterday was enough to kiss it goodbye. (If not at least I'll know)
thanks for helping me think through. Im a worrier, for sure, and rather be safe than sorry.

No, it doesn't need a load to tell you if the pedestal is wired correctly!
Mine has a digital readout. Checks pedestal wiring, then transfers power to the coach. When I add a load, it will tell me what the voltage drops to on each leg. Voltage drops below something like 104V, it kills power to the coach.
I believe your Surge Guard ATS does the same.

As a follow up to my original post, I had the pleasure to speak with theprevious owner of our new rig this afternoon. He gave me the 'low down' on this coach, and his reason for selling (which he really didn't want to do, but with the loss of his wife, it was time to move on to something smaller).
It was GREAT to hear his experience and history as being the original owner. He gave me more confidence and we are more excited to get it, later this week or this upcoming weekend, and getting our first time to get out on the road.
Additionally, he told me that he would be more than happy to meet with me after we pick it up from the dealership and he will spend time with me going over all the systems and his suggestions of how he managed various functions. He answered a lot of questions about my initial questions and what we can expect going forward.
I really hope that we truly found a nice diamond in the rough!

I'd check around the throttle pedal wiring connector or if it has a grounding wire to same bar as the flasher that could have some issues. I would imagine the throttle wires go directly to ECM but maybe some sort of isolation damage. Since the idle is stable, it would be interesting if you had a way to see Throttle Position reading or at least engine power percentage.
