| 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 | |||
