Bryan, I have had problems with my front slide. For 4 years all went well, but last year I arrived on a Saturday for an Monday morning appoint at Newell. After parking I open my front slide and the floor came up crooked. I closed it and it went back in. Monday Mark had to remove the sofa and part of the floor in order to repair the floor mechanism. It seems that a couple short bolts in the mechanism had come loose. Mark replaced all of them with longer ones. This took all day. The coach stayed inside that night. So the next day after repairing the things I had an appointment for the driver took my coach out to our space and he open the same slide and it came out crooked. One end about 5" out and the other end 1". This was 4:00 PM. So Mark and another guy came out and started working on this and the problem was underneath the floor at the top of the bays. After two and a half hours and a $450.00 part that was repaired. I left for home the next morning. When I got home I open the slide and something was not right. It did not want to open when I first pushed the switch and after a couple of pushes it opened and then it did not want to close until I pushed the switch a number of times. To make this story shorter, I finally had to pull out the complete slide computer in left bay one and ship it to HWH. That was several months ago and all seem to be working well. All I have to do NOW is have the paint touched up on the side of the slide.
Slides are expensive and a pain in the butt. They are great when they are working.
