PSA: 2018 Tiffin Open Road 32sa. It happened at arrival at our Oregon Coast destination. Steps started coming out, grinding noise then stopped. Closed the door, grinding noise trying to retract, then stopped. I bought an Amazon replacement step motor years ago, after reading the forums, but never needed it. I got lucky. I watched some YouTube videos. Both the motor AND the gearbox have a plastic gear with stripping problems. In my case, it was the motor. Easy fix. Ordered another backup motor and gearbox this time. Carry spares and save yourself a headache.
