I don,t think a dealer will admit to anything. something like this... we never heard of that happening before.
I've heard it happen in Newmars with Intellitec slide controllers (like my 2001).
Many have speculated on the cause (electrical transient, fluorescent lights, etc).
It happened to me when I plugged in one of those electric bug zappers -- the living room slide just started coming in on its own.
Since then, I (along with other Newmar owners) just remove the slide out fuse after extending the slides.
Newmar does not acknowledge the problem, but sooner or later someone will get hurt.
