Hi John.
I have an 08 Bounder diesel.....same set up as yours so here goes as I had the same issue and easy to fix.
1.Extend the slide all the way.
2.Go underneath and you will see the motor on the shaft that turns the gears at the ends. On the motor's end there is a brake lever covered in a rubber cover. It is about 4-6 inches long.
3. Turn it counter clockwise to release it completely. Then immediately turn it back hard to its locked position (clock wise).
4. Run the slide in all the way and you will hear the lock click when fully retracted. If it does all is OK.
Worked for me 3 years ago and never failed again.
Good luck and let us know the result please.
