If you can get access to the motor/gearbox, get the mfg and model number. There are several sites on the web you can get them from and change it yourself for less money.

I see it has a Schwintek slide. I think there is a motor/gearbox on each side of the slide out.

Thanks for the info,, its a lippet motor and gear box i know i can get get one cheaper the point is i shouldn't have after a year a half of very little use and i take loving care of this thing! its all these little things are starting to add up i paid way to much to put with this junk. Poor workman ship, poor quality, i would be embarrass to say i built this.
another good one is where they put the fresh water tank at the very back of the trailer brilliant huh
