Schwintek RV Slide-out of synch caused wall to bow

We did a little more checking and it's closer to 13,000 miles. Probably not a big difference, but just in case.

Had this happen on a used POS 22 Phoenix Cruiser I bought between my Newmars. Those schwintek slides are horrible. It ripped the face off of the cabinets.
It took me a number of tries to reprogram the slides until I got it working right. Once the stops were set, I rebuilt the cabinets and got rid of the pos.
As for PC, they make claims about real wood cabinets and such, a complete lie in that coach. The slide had huge openings in the slide floor under the cabinets for wiring etc, with a rubber flap that did absolutely nothing. Might as well put a sign advertising "vermin hotel"

Probably out of warranty but if they are feeling nice and can determine that it is their fault they may fix it. If you took it to Alaska on that highway they will not. Be prepared to fight. But be nice at first.

Right side of kitchen slide is out 3/8 inch further than left side. Wall appears to be bowed a bit causing kitchen counter/bar to detach from wall and floor trim to fall between wall and floorboards into storage bin below! You can see daylight through the floor gap! Also, the entire row of screws along the top/interior of the door jamb in the 2 storage bays below are missing.
Can we just do the resync the motors tip I've seen online to fix it... "pull in 6 inches, let motors full stop, then extend until both motors stop, repeat 2-3 times until both motors stop together"? Will this bring the wall back flush with the floor, so we can fix the interior and replace the screws in the storage bays? Is it something more serious going on to bow the wall or is this common? What would cause this motor asymmetry to occur? How can we avoid it in the future? Thanks for any help you can give us!

I’m so sorry this is happening. That is one reason why we sold our rig which had the Schwintech set up. It was also a Thor class A never again.
