Slide Retract Failure on ACE 29.3
I have a 2017 Thor ACE 29.3 with a full side slide out. This morning I could not retract the slide. After ensuring there were no obstructions and trying EVERYTHING the THOR manual and help desk prescribed, nothing worked. So finally I decided to manually adjust the leveling jacks to raise the SLIDE side of my coach above level. WHA LA! The slide finally retracted normally.
My conclusion - Full side slides are nice BUT, the motors used on them are marginally able to produce the torque necessary to move them. YOU MUST BE LEVEL OR SLIGHTLY OFF LEVEL TO THE ADVANTAGE OF THE SLIDE. In my case, despite being certain I was level, I had to get unlevel to help the motors bring the slide back in.
I may find I have other underlying issues with one or more motors. But this slide has been deployed maybe 25-30 times in its short life. If motors are failing already then I'm really pissed.
