We need to replace power winch motor for lift system in our Freedom 2318G. Any ideas where to buy one? Does anyone have removal and install instructions?
Thanks

There are other options too.
However, there is a thread on this forum about someone who replaced the power with a manual. And when my power goes, it will be replaced with a manual. They are not that hard to raise.

We just replaced our power winch with a manual. It's a lot cheaper and much more reliable, but I do find it hard to turn (I'm 68 and short/slim, but work out, I just don't have the leverage). If you decide to go manual, you can get one directly from Goshen Stamping Co. We got the winch, handle and an extra cable for about $80, including shipping.

Forrest River warrantees the lift mechanism for life to the original owner.

Not the power lift system...
Under general warranty you have the phrase
Forest River Inc. does not warrant components manufactured by others, including, but not limited...

Then under the lift system you have...
items excluded From Warranty
...6. Claims related to power lift system if unit is so equipped.

I believe it is a one or two year warranty on the power lift, at least on the old style winch!

Thanks for this feedback. We are considering manual lift. Does anyone have directions how to install? Did the Goshen manual lift come with directions? Thanks to all : )

Thanks for pointing that out. So, what exactly is covered? The Goshen Mechanism?
