After weeks of troubleshooting and with tons of help from this forum I reached the decision to take the RV in for full diagnostics.

Since I bought this 2016 Windsport 34F 6 months ago I had gremlins in the system. Would start to extend slide out then one or the other motors would error out. Only way to extend and retract was using override function on controller. Replaced both motors and improved their securing twice. Would get a few weeks of function then back to the same issue. Resecurred the motors a third time and replaced wiring harnesses and took a 3 thousand mile trip with no problem until 3 days from home. Then the same thing.

Took it it Camping World (I know. But that’s all I have locally) and they said that both mechanisms are completely worn out. Bent mounts and broken worm gears.

They worked with my extended warranty insurer and was told they will cover the repairs minus my 200 deductible, the cost of parts shipping, and tax. About 4K total bill of which I will pay about 600. Parts are ordered. I don’t have a list what parts but was thinking of asking for one.

Insurer will only cover installation of OEM Schwintek system.

Any advice out there as to what I should be looking for in their repair?
