We left a campground the morning of 3/11/2017 and had no problem retracting the slide.

In the afternoon at our next stop we extended the slide but it stopped partway out. When the slide stopped, the front was extended 7½“ and the back was extended 8½”. We could not move it in or out after it stopped. It was raining hard but not windy.

We called Good Sam Roadside Assistance. A tech arrived early morning on 03/12/17. I showed him that the bottom front track did not look right. He found that all the screws had come out and the track had detached from the slide. The holes for the screws holding the track to the slide were stripped, so he could not use the existing screws. He drilled new holes and used bolts to attach the track. After moving the slide in/out multiple times the slide retracted completely and we were able to drive the coach.

We’re in currently in Alabama waiting for a new motor. The CW here says the front motor failed. The front motor was installed new last May.
