2000-2003 Marquis Ladders

Edward Buker:
Gerald,

I have a little egg on my face, .... I did another look and did find mounting pad areas on the driver side of my coach also. They are more subtle in thickness than what you described and the one above the hatch goes full height of the visible area so I had to feel to sense the vertical edges of the fiberglass change to find it. They are definately there so I think I will be able to sort this out.

I have a print being faxed. Because this is another PN from another manufacturer, that Monaco went to for later production, I may ask for one more dimension regarding where the roof landing pads fall once I have the print to define the measurement. From what I have seen the new ladder design was always on the right side of the coach, and from the photos, the mounts moved up the back of the coach 3 inches or so from the older design. Not sure if the roof pads moved also.

thanks Ed

Edward Buker:
Gerald,
  The fax that I got was a bit of hen scratching and a couple of mesurements. Not a lot of documentation in this industry. Regarding the top of the ladder it just mentions use a jig with a number so there is no information that would define the roof landing pad info at all. So my thoughts are a couple of numbers would help put this to bed. I will forward some of this info to the ladder builder to see if his dimensions are close and use the rest to mount with. Sorry this is such a pain in the butt.

1. Roof mount tubing center line back to the centerline of the vertical ladder portion at the roof level. (define the total depth of ladder at the roof level)

2. Distance from the centerline of the tube at the mount point on the roof to the point on the back of the coach that is even with the point just above the top of the clearance lights. (Do not use the light recess.  Basically getting a depth measurement from the center line of the ladder tube straight back to a refeence point on the rear cap. Just above the light was the best reference I could come up with)

3. Centerline of typical tube height above the roof. Also a measurement from centerline of the vertical ladder tube to the back of the coach at the upper back cap stanchions. (help define the stand off depth)

I hope to return the favor some day......Regards Ed

Gerald Farris:
Ed,
I e-mailed you personally, a drawing of the ladder with all measurements on it.

Gerald

Phil Sales:
Gerald, Is there a chance I too could get a copy of that drawing and measurements? I also have a2000 Marquis with no Ladder. I called Christianson and the number I got from Monaco (B1100140)  is not on their good list. So I'll have to get one by measurements.
The support pads are on mine on the driver side.  Thanks, Phil Sales

Gerald Farris:
Phil,
I have e-mailed the diagram to you personally.

You may want to contact Beaver Coach Sales in Bend Oregon, as they use to stock the Topline ladder that fits your coach, and probably still carry them.

Gerald
