He stated they have been working on quite a few of these the last couple of years. We are suppose to go camping this weekend, but are not sure if we'll get caught where the slide-out doesn't want to retract enough to drive. Also, the repair could take 2-3 days. With the overall number of issues I've read about with Thor units I'd be embarrassed to say I work for Thor.

Is yours a 2 Trax system? Thor switched to 3 Trax system during the 2015 model year; you might want to retrofit to 3 Trax to avoid a repeat of your wear issue. Ideally should have Thor factory or Lippert factory perform the retrofit, but others on this forum have had it done successfully by experienced RV facilities.We have the 2015 30.2 with 3 Trax and I am on the watch for wear issues. Like you, we have extended service contract as I was concerned about the full wall slide, and the levelers. Keep us posted. Good luck
