  1. HI All,

    I've been reading this thread with great interest...and hope!

    I have a 2011 HR Ambassador PFT (similar to Monaco Knight!?) This weekend, I got stranded with my front levelling jack extended (an inch off the ground) and could not retract it. Called Lippert tech support 3-4 times nad they were superb, and patient given that I am no mechanic. Tried all the tricks in the book. Oh plus the motor must have burned out since I got that knowing small from like, kinda like the alternator smell!! Eventually they advised and walked me thru opening all the valves (so I didn't need to figure which one was the front leveling jack) and then turn the main bolt in front with a drill, counterclockwise for a few minutes, and to enormous relief, see the jack slowly but steadily climb back into the up position. Thankfully I had not extended any slides once I had the levelling issue (which made for tight quarters inside for a coupe of days but beats being stranded totally). And I was able to drive the rig home. Of course I had to put up with the LCI control panel going bananas beeping for a minute or two, but that eventually stopped and the just the 5 lights stayed blinking. Now I need to find a replacement motor/pump. My original spec sheet says its a Lippert 645480. Trying desperately to find to latest model number. Anyone any ideas here? Did get on to the Parts Dept at Lippert and they are searching for me. No word back yet!! Thank you all in advance.

  2. thank you Richard. Great to know. I had a look in the front bay and think I see a 4 pin connector. I will have a look near the console also. Late now (and having issues with leveling!) but I'll send you a pic of my wiring set up and see what you think. thank you so much for getting back.

  3. Hi everyone, new to the group here. I have just purchased a 2011 HR Ambassador and want to install a brake controller so I was searching the internet to see if I could find out if my rig is pre wired etc. I came across this post which seems very encouraging for me. I am going to have a look at the front bay compartment for the wires and boxes mentioned above. DO you guys know if there is anything specific I should be looking for in the 2011 model? Thanking you all in advance.
