TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 MONACO COACH CAMELOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 40 MPH THE AWNING ERRONEOUSLY EXTENDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND SENT OUT A NEW MOTOR. THE CONTACT INSTALLED THE MOTOR BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,200 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 MONACO COACH CAMELOT RV. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE DOOR LATCH WOULD NOT OPEN WHICH PREVENTED THE CONTACT FROM EXITING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 MONACO COACH CAMELOT RV. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE FIVE AWNINGS ON THE VEHICLE WOULD BECOME UNSECURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE SPRINGS INSIDE THE AWNINGS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY TIGHTENING THE SPRINGS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED APPROXIMATELY FOUR TIMES AND THEY SENT HIM A MOTOR FOR THE AWNINGS. THE MOTOR WAS NEVER INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 11,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 29,000.

THE SLIDE OUT HYDRAULIC PUMP ON OUR 2009 MONACO MOTORHOME FAILED AND LEAKED HYDRAULIC FLUID. THIS PRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT FIRE AND SAFETY ISSUE. MONACO DECLARED BANKRUPTCY AND LIPPERT INDUSTRIES, THE MANUFACTURER OF THE HYDRAULIC PUMP, HAS REFUSED TO WARRANTY THIS UNIT IN SPITE OF IT BEING 15 MONTHS OLD FROM DATE OF PURCHASE. THE MOTORHOME WEBSITE BLOGS ARE REPLETE WITH FAILURES RELATIVE TO THIS HYDRAULIC PUMP. NOT ONLY SHOULD THE COMPANY SOLVE THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THEIR PRODUCT BUT THEY SHOULD WARRANTY THE SAME. MY MOTORHOME IS A 2009 MONACO CAMELOT . THE OLD UNIT IS AVAILABLE AND I AM WAITING FOR A NEW PUMP WHICH LIPPERT IS CHARGING ME $1,489.00 FOR. BASED ON WHAT I HAVE READ I HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE THE NEW PUMP WILL NOT FAIL AS MANY OTHER HAVE EXPERIENCED THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM. *TR
