Important notice if you call Mike at Forest River. Make sure you speak to him personally. When I called yesterday he was on another line so the person who answered his line took my information and was going to look into my service order. When I spoke to Mike today he wasn't sure what he could do because it was late in the day. Had he known in the morning he could have done something. His assistant never gave him my information yesterday!
Also stay on top of your dealer! Two weeks ago they had my unit in for the weather stripping at the windshield, the striped gears in the slide out and 3 broken A/C vents. Because the dealership forgot to take pictures of the vents, they were holding up EVERYTHING else. My windshield and slide could have been fixed, if they had taken the pictures or put through what they had.
I leave on my next trip the day after tomorrow.

A quick update on the status of our slide out issue. Mike at Forest River was really great. He made phone calls to the dealer and is getting the assembly overnighted tomorrow, so the dealer will have it Thursday. We had to delay our trip departure by a few hours, but the dealer will put it in on Thursday and we'll head out just as soon as it's done.
Thank You again Mike!

Hello:
My dining room slide out has been fine, but on the first trip the bedroom slide out stuck open. I had three people help me manually push it back in so I could drive to the dealership to have it repaired. Fingers crossed seems okay now.

The repair of the bedroom slide seems good. The dining room slide now makes the same noise the bedroom slide did before it went bad.

Pilheymy, on the switch mod to keep the step from hitting the curb, are you taking the magnet completely out of the circuit and replacing it with the switch and when the switch is on does the step go in and out the same as with the magnet in the circuit? To keep it out you flip the blue switch as before? Hard to explain

No... leave the switch... just cut the wire.... (2 wire cores) connect one core back.... and a switch between the other core ... some tape... presto

I don't understand, are we just putting a switch between the 2 wires and leaving the magnet in the circuit?

you break a core (cut it) and put a switch between.... and another one over the switch... so the magnet (it's a switch actually) is permanent CUT or MADE... this way you have a choice... 1) the step stays out permanently,,, regardless of the door being open or closed 2) the step stays in ... regardless the door is open or closed (so you can open the door and see if the step has a free path..... and not run into something... curb or so) 3) As it works now... step goes with door open etc... i will post a pic soon

So s2 is the magnet which acts like a switch! You aren't using 2 single throw switches just 1 which is s1, correct?

The Switches are in the Door Area... down where the Awning switch is.
I replaced most of the switches... they are not good quality. At Automotive shops you can buy replacements... about $6. (The Outdoor light switch was first to go... no more lights on the switches....) Nobody could fix the problem... so no more control lights on the switches... Just Mark Them... with a piece of reflective material..
AT LEAST WHEN I OPEN THE DOOR... THE STEPS DON'T RUN INTO A CURB!!

Thanks for the info, but a little late for me. Talking the Rig to my dealer for repair work.
