I checked to make sure the coach was level with a long carpenters level, thinking perhaps the side with the slide was slightly low but no, the coach was level. It seems the front motor "quits" first, then the entire slide stops retracting.

Any one else have this problem? How have you dealt with it?

Many thanks!
Today we went to our RV Storage Yard, and I re-synced the slide. The procedure is laid out in the owners manual and is fairly simple, but if you don't know how let me know and I will post the instructions.

The bottom line is after re-syncing the slide, all appears well. Of course, this is not a scientific study so your results may vary. But if my findings are correct I do not have to replace the slide motor.
