We had exactly the same problem on arrival here in AZ. The service tech had a long conversation with Venture and it turns out that some of our heavier Montana and Big Sky models have inadequate landing gear for the weight involved, resulting in many similar failures. The folks at Venture highly recommended conversion to a dual motor system and that's what we've decided to do. Extended maintenance folks will still pay the cost for the base unit, so I will gladly pony up the additional money. Unit will be installed on Thursday and I'm looking forward to giving it a try.

I also built a new relay board to permit use of the remote control with the dual motor system. It's based on design developed by a fellow MOCer and I can provide details if anyone is interested.
