Good Morning, my thanks to the three of you that have responded to request for help and insights.
Bill your suggestion about bringing along a tech could be very worthwhile and interestingly enough my wife Roby is the Controller for one of if not the largest RV dealers in the western U.S (DeMartini RV) located in Grass Valley, CA. I'll ask and see who might be best to bring.
Specularius thanks for the photos of the slide motor, that's certainly not something I would have expected. Never having any rig with a slide, are the motors on the OK located in such a fashion that they can be seen with the slide out ? Or are they more back inside the camper structure, and all you see when looking under the slide out is the runner but not the motor. If that's the case then how do you get to them for a visual ?
RockyRoadCamper, my thanks for the slide lesson, but again since I've never had a slide camper, how difficult is it to load and unload with the slides out ? It would seem like the camper would way off balance especially to the slide side. My wife is a worrywart the way it is with loading and unloading our old 1987 hard side Lance (we don't have electric jacks). For me it's a piece of cake by myself, but I almost need her to take walk. I've been around campers since I was a little kid when my dad bought a new 62 3/4 Chevy and an 8 ft. Turnpike cabover. That was the hardest to load and unload. It had portable tripods with cranks, one on each side and it sort of tipped this way and that.
Thanks to all for your help.
Dave.
