broken spur gear
my 2013 33.2 finally had slide out problem, after a 5000 mile trip I was going to clean up before another trip, in the process of extending the slide out I heard a loud pop and the slide stopped moving.Turned out to be a broken tooth on a spur gear (the one that mates with the gear racks). Tha broken tooth wedged between the gears and locked it up tight, I did manage to get it closed. Has any one experienced a broken spur gear and found a cause, I had no noise other than the motors running, seemed to move freely, no jumping, dragging, or twisting.
