That is why I tell non-mechanical people to stay away from RVing unless they have a good cheap mechanic or a good mechanical friend.
On the bright side the previous owner knocked several thousand off the price do to the defective motor. It probably would have cost them over $2K to have the motor replaced at the dealership.
