Just thinking, is it possible those motors get damaged on the way OUT? We run it till the slide's fully extended but hold the switch a little longer? That would pass current through a stalled motor and surely heat it up even more than running it with slide in motion.
I like that thought. The switch is supposed to be held a few seconds. But I've had an RV salesperson tell me to hold it for up to 30 seconds. And another one say to hold it for 10 seconds.
As I understand it, these motors have revolution counters. So it would only require 2 or 3 seconds max to ensure they've reached the stop point.
