Thor Sent a rep to my local Camping World to fix this. I had a nice conversation with him today. Someone put some kind of lubricant or WD40 on the Schwintek gears. I didn't do it, I doubt Thor did it, so that only points the finger in one direction. I will just leave it at that. Lubricating these are a bad idea. It will only make a bad problem that is caused by something else worse. The metal shavings from the aluminum gear just gets caught up in the gears and make matters worse.
Bad idea to lube the track, does the maker of the slide know how many people are going to be doing this over the life of the motorhome.
That does not sound right, lube should not cause that issue you have, sounds like they are using any excuse to avoid future repairs..
