I have a 2008 Carriage Cameo F35KS3. On the main (non-kitchen) slide the motor starts to skip once a bit of resistance comes into play. It happens on both extend and retract. The motor shaft gear does...

On our '09 Cameo, the motor gear stripped because only 1/2 of it was engaging the rack. A new gear can be bought from Coachworks for about $150. Well, I am a welder so in my shop with my MIG welder I built the teeth up, ground and filed then turned it on the lathe to 100thous. oversize.
Finished by flipping the bronze bushing near the motor to flange forward and rearranging the spacers so that it fully engaged the rack. Door side went also.
Look at my old posts. OOPS. too old here, all gone -- PM me Max
RBI maker of slide out and jacks crashed, sold out to ALKO , crashed bought out remaining stock by Coachworks.
Get handy or be ready to pay a LOT for RBI parts which wont be any better than what you have got - not a fix A sorry patch job.
first, cut a much larger hole in the underbelly fabric - as those zippers are frozen anyway get a trouble light, phone will not do - fix it later with 3 M super 77 spray adhesive and strips of landscape fabric.
Then note the engagement of the gear onto the rack, with both the slide in and out.
Note the % engagement of the gear into the rack and its freeplay.
Note ALL placement of spacers, bushings bolts
Remove the motor, the shear bolt from the 3/4" round to 1" square transfer shaft to the front slide gear.
Now the shaft shoud move so you can pull the pin that holds the gear into place on the shaft. change or fix the gear. Move or replace the bronze bushings to shift the shaft forward into better alignment with the rack
