Karl,  If the key fob is just not working open it up, take out the battery and clean the battery holder contacts with the eraser end of a pencil.  FOT billed me for most of an hour trying to fix mine and told me they were unrepairable and unreplaceable.  5 minutes with a pencil and they have been working for almost a year.

Karl,
I have a 99 model and wanted to get a spare.  I contacted FT and was told the company was no longer in business, but there is a conversion to the other brand avail.  I dont remember the price, but it was enough to discourage me as the 1 I have still works.

I do not remember the name but I put on the new system. I liked the old one better but it works and I put on a door keypad too.

Just a follow up to keyless entry.  When we purchased our coach, the keyless entry was not working so we did an upgrade to a key pad and key fob.  For around $400 Canadian.  The brains for the old where in the front passanger side panel.  A label was on the back of the old system so the wire swap was very easy.  We also added the keyless entry to the exterior.  Also wanted a way to control the air step so we installed a latching relay and one of the outputs on the new unit can now also fold our step up when we are stopped.

Mine was not working at a distance of over 2 ft from the front door.  Of course I did go swimming with the fob in my pocket which might have caused some problems.  Anyway, removed the battery, sprayed with CorrosionX, waited a few hours, installed a new battery and now it works from about 20 feet away.  I'm happy. 
On our 2005 the alarm system is a Trimark alarm controller.  If yours is the same give them a call at 800-477-0343.

Much earlier in this thread I commented about cleaning the battery contacts in the fob with a pencil eraser.  We do it every time they start to get a bit dodgy. A wee bit of dielectric grease helps too.  Ours are almost 16 years old now and will lock/unlock the coach from at least 50 ft.    Most of the time.
