Slide motor not reeling back in...

The slide on out 2004 wilderness has recently decided it doesn't like coming back in unless you crawl under the trailer and turn the rods manually a couple turns. All the connections look OK so I'm thinking the motor is just old. Can one of these motors be swapped out or do you have to replace the whole motor and gearbox?

  • May just need an adjustment to the slide. Happened to me last year and had it repaired by the dealer during the winter along with rebuilding my suspension.
    More than likely an easy fix.
  • I would suspect a weak battery (not fully charged) or corroded electric connections.

    Check volts at the motor to see if you have near 12 volt with a load.
