What's wrong?
The water tank mounting system on these 2011-2014 R-Vision recreational vehicles holds the water tank under the floor, inside the enclosed underbelly. That area is hidden from normal view, so the brackets, straps, or supports have to keep the tank secure while the RV is loaded, moving, and flexing over the road.
On affected Trail Sport, Onyx, Rainier Ascent, Aluma-Lite, Trail Lite, Trail Cruiser, Trail Lite Trek, Trail Lite Crossover, Campmaster, and Aluma-Lite Ultra RVs, the mounting system is at risk of failing. When that happens, the tank no longer stays secured in its intended position. A loose or dropped tank can damage nearby equipment under the floor and create a road hazard if it separates from the RV.
There is no warning sign before failure. Because the tank is enclosed under the floor, an owner is not expected to see the mounting problem during normal use.

What's the safety risk?
If the water tank mounting system fails, the tank can separate from the vehicle and become a road hazard, increasing crash risk. Drive cautiously, avoid extra trips until your VIN is checked, and schedule dealer service promptly if your vehicle is included. Repair will be free at any franchised R-Vision dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2011-2014 R-Vision Trail Sport, Onyx, Rainier Ascent, Aluma-Lite, Trail Lite, Trail Cruiser, Trail Lite Trek, Trail Lite Crossover, Campmaster, or Aluma-Lite Ultra is included in this recall.
- Watch for Monaco's owner notice if you never received one, and keep it with your RV records.
- Contact a franchised R-Vision dealer about the free cross-brace installation that secures the underfloor water tank mounting system.
- Reference recall number 13V284 and Monaco recall 13001MRV when you call.
- Avoid towing or loading the RV until the dealer confirms the water tank mounting repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
Monaco's recall filing says the recall began on July 31, 2013. At the dealer, an R-Vision technician installs a cross brace between the water tank and the mounting brackets. That brace supports the underfloor water tank mounting system so the tank stays secured to the recreational vehicle. The known dealer work is free of charge, with parts and labor covered under the recall. Use Monaco's recall number, 13001MRV, when speaking with the service desk.
