We had the same issue with our monitor. Here is how I fixed it. Using the minus icon, lower the screen as far as possible. Repeatedly press the plus icon. As the screen moves up, keep the slack out by gently pushing it up with your other hand. I have had to do this several times and it will fully come to rest against the dash.

Will try this tonight. Thank you!

Hoping to find one that still allows you to pan the camera but even if that doesn’t exist. what have you guys found as the best replacement?
Thank you!!
I have wondered several times what unit to replace my radio with. I’ve in the past I thought what I would have to install a toggle switch to move the camera.
Luckily like the others I have just use the reset switch and the other hacks to get the screen where I want it. I’ve never been able to use the radio very much because it gets really poor reception, And it overheats because where it was mounted it tends to not dissipate enough heat from the radio

Our RWM 3400 is not charging the house batteries when the engine is running. With the engine running, engaging the emergency / auxiliary switch allows current to flow from the chassis batteries to the house batteries. Everything I have read suggests there is a battery isolator in the system and it is defective. Anyone had any experience with this problem? Is there a battery isolator and where is it located? Thanks for any possible help.

The isolator is in the battery compartment and looks like a solinoid.

Ksanford: was checking to see if that solved your problem with replacement of the Isolator ? A article in March, 2022 Family Rving Magazine, talk about the isolator on page 14.

kmiller, Thanks for checking. Just got the new isolator installed and also installed a battery charger. Apparently, there is another problem because it did not fix it. Going to check a few other things and I wil report back.

kmiller - I need to make a correction. The solenoid located in the battery compartment is an auxiliary start solenoid, it is not an isolator. I have been unable to locate the isolator, but I did change the solenoid. It did not fix the charging problem.
I am going to replace the auxiliary start solenoid with a Redarc Electronics dual sensing smart start battery isolator 12v 200A I found on Amazon and at Etrailer. It is pricey, but it will fix the charging issue.
Your problem sounds like the house battery charger which is located in the compartment with the Xantrex inverter. Ours in the basement compartment left of the entrance door.
I hope this helps.
