Lippert slideout motor issue
I just wanted to provide a tip that could avoid a major inconvenience. The two of the three slideouts on my 2015 36KTPS Pinnacle have Lippert in wall motors. The set screw that holds the motor from twisting came loose on one and the motor rotated and broke one of the wires. I was able to resolder the wire and reinstall the motor. It has been working fine after 5 camping trips and many cycles of the slide. I checked the set screws on the other 3 motors and found 2 of them very loose as well. The motors are a 100 to 1 ratio drive so the set screws need to be just snug enough to prevent twisting. You will need a ladder to reach the set screw on the outside of the rig. Don`t overtighten!
