THE SLIDER ON A FOUR SLIDER MOTORHOME WILL NOT COME IN MANY TIMES. I DRIVE ALONE, AND MY SAFETY IS AT RISK IF I CAN'T PULL IN THE SLIDERS AND LEAVE. THREE TO FOUR PEOPLE HAVE TO LIFT AND PUSH AND JERK IN THE SLIDER. I CAN NOT USE THIS RV BECAUSE OF FEAR AND THE SLIDER DOES NOT FULLY CLOSE. FOUR OR 5 TIMES TO DEALER, THEIR STATEMENT, THEY HAVE NO CLUE. ALSO IN AAA MOTORHOME MAGAZINE THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM, FLEETWOOD IS HIDING FROM THE PUBLIC. I WAS STUCK IN MEXICO AND MONTANA AWAY FROM ALL MECHANICAL HELP, EXCEPT THOSE WHO WE COULD GATHER UP. THEIR OFFER TO ME FLEETWOOD )) WAS TO BUY A NEW RV FOR $ 220000. THE SERVICE WRITER,I OVERHEARD, THIS PROBLEM IS UN-SOLVABLE AND TOLD ME IT WAS NOT SAFE FOR ME, HE OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T WANT ME TO TELL ANYONE THIS. *JB
