Follow up-TV lift not working in 3455SA

I wish to thank everyone for their helpful comments. Both Keystone and LCI responded in a timely fashion. After receiving the engineering drawings from LCI, I was able to extract the motor and found that the electric wiring had become frayed by being squashed by the motor when in the down position. We tied the wires to prevent a recurrence. If you have a TV lift it may be prudent to check the wiring for damage, It could prevent a fire as well.

Another convenience causing inconvenience. I remember when camping meant leaving all the electronics at home and now the electronics has electronics that we must bring with us.

Progress and modernization, gotta love it. I post this as I am typing on a nice computer connected to high speed network, sitting under the lights of my air conditioned room just an arm's length away from a nice cold drink in the refrigerator close by. Now I'm off to the bathroom since I haven't made my seat "more convenient". I know, I know, TMI (too much information). I could make it better if I were in my rig.

Anyway, that's good advice that one needs to check things that are motorized and include electronics or even plumbing (remember the plastic wire & hold guides in our slideouts?).

Barry & Ellen,
Well it is morning and I just went out and checked ours. One of the wires is smashed and frayed with exposed wires. I am surprised it hasn't quit working yet. I have my project for today. Thanks again for the heads up on this problem.

Jack
