Hi Everyone. I picked my coach up in October. It has 1 driver side slide. On the trip back from picking it up the slide out awning went in and out with the slide as it's supposed to. The last stop before home I ran the slide out like I have before and it broke the aluminum castings that hold the roller tube. I took the slide awning off so that I could get home. Well I finally got the parts from Zip Dee. Put everything back together per their instructions and watching the YouTube video that AZ rv expert did on replacing one (see below video)

So long story short. I went to put the slide out and watch the slide awning go out like it was supposed to and it got almost all the way out and 1 of the castings broke again. Zip Dee is closed for the holiday but just wondered it anyone else had any problems like this?? The spring is original but seem like it wound nicely.
