All due to being out of sync by a few inches, just like you described.

The only remedy is to re-sync the motors. Drop the bunk down completely. Hold the switch down for two-three seconds after it reaches the bottom, (and hopefully both motors take it all the way down). Then, raise the bunk all the way to the top, without stopping or pausing, until it's at the top, and hold the switch for two-three seconds.

That's it. If it works, it's re-synced.

The trick to avoiding motor sync issues is to NEVER partially lower or raise the bunk, ever. Only take it all the way in each direction, and then hold the switch to sync the motors.


And, always make sure the lock pins are in place before moving the coach.
Beacher,

that is what I have been doing with my full length slide in hopes it will never break (I know right - I can dream!)
