Hello all
Our brand new Camper slide out would not go out once we brought it home. Took to dealer and they said the H frame was off a .25 inch on one side and would need to be replaced.
She said 10 days to wait for parts and warranty approval then they can install.
Anyone else run into an issue like this? She said it can run fine for the first 15 times and then bend, that is what happened and why when we got it home it didn't work.

How long of a wait might I be looking at here? Our first trip was already booked and paid for, for May 1st....

Any answers/input is appreciated.
Thank you!
Kat

I don't think anyone has a better idea of how long it will take than the dealer. Parts are hard to get and the people to install the repair are also in short supply right now. Hope things work out so that you can make your first trip.

I would call FR parts department and verify what the dealer is telling you.
