We must have just got a lemon. The slide on our 2006 1150 was a constant problem. The camper was poorly sealed on the roof from the factory and the company no longer works directly with the consumer on issues like broken slides. On our last trip with the AF the slide broke again, Northwoods couldn't be bothered to help me by shipping another motor to us in Alaska. I understand manufacturers wanting customers to deal directly with dealers but there weren't any near us and given that broken slide motors had plagued us since the unit was new I think the Northwoods could have been a little more accommodating. IMO since Ron Nash has been out of the picture at Northwoods the company isn't as customer satisfaction driven as when we purchased the camper. Take my experience with a grain of salt. Every manufacturer has disgruntled customers...
