Well, we uncovered our 5er in preperation for our upcoming trip to see the grandkids in Wa - the DW needed the slides extended in order to clean and pack some supplies - the LH slide won't extend
Batteries fully charged, motor engages but the room won't move - we just get that clicking or ratcheting sound that one hears when the rooms fully extend or retract
These are Lippert above the floor electric - can't get to the manual over rides without cutting or dropping the coroplast because our model 5er has the shorter slides on each side.
Called the dealer and heading to Colton tomorrow for repairs
upside is we discovered the problem before we left on our trip - and it is under warranty - downside is it's 5 hrs to the dealer (no complaint - I knew this when I bought the unit)
Has anyone had any experience with these type of slides/motors/gears failing?
I fear that we'll get hung up waiting for parts and miss our reservations - bummer - hopefuly the dealer stocks slide parts
