The walls are only 1/4" luan. Keystone should have reinforced the wall here where the motor mounts are.

I would find 2 studs in the wall three would be better and attach a 1/4 aluminum plate with screws and silicone then attach the gear housing to it with as large a screws as practical. Use silicone and you will never set it off the wall. Use a long plate because you will never see it.

OP says there is a metal plate behind the wall.

2015 MONTANA 3610 RL legacy... Our bedroom cable slide gear box stripped the gears..Had a new box installed at the dealer.. The installer mounted the cable blocks sideways.. When operating the bedroom slide the motor and bracket stripped out of the WALL! They put a piece of metal on the wall and then mounted the bracket to it.. Ironic.. the same time the Big Hydraulic slide went crooked and the gears below got broken teeth. 1200 later it's fixed.. Now it's in the shop AGAIN FOR THE STINKING BIG SLIDE!!Looks like they are REBUILDING the slide out.. 700.00 in parts so far... Im so fed up with paying good money only to have to constantly fix what the factory did not do right to begin with! From Broken leaf spring bolts, to black water tanks exploding to 3 slid out repairs... I don't mind Ceiling fans falling, or shower door handles falling Off or led lights burning out.. But the stuff that's breaking should NEVER happen...

I try to keep in mind that the good folks at Montana RV don’t make most of the products that everyone complains about when they break. I chose mine based on floor plan, quality of OEM parts used, and reputation of the company in all facets of the build and support. I had the luck of touring the factory this year and was very pleased with everything that I saw. Is any RV perfect? No.

I have had zero factory support. We have had several sob 5th wheels and non gave us the pain as this one. We have had factory support on a magna tek converter from
skyline. Keystone when I asked who made the rope lights REFUSED to tell us and only said, " take it to your dealer" .After a night's rain, our norcold said liop... meaning limit switch open. KEYSTONE would not tell me how to reset the fridge, only to drive 300 miles for repair. Come to find out a magnet reset the fridge.. we have had nothing but bad luck with this unit. The black molding covering the screws near the roofline disintegrated in 6 months..

Correct, no RV is perfect. The OP's issue was, however, one over which KS had control. The factory failed to properly secure the SOB motor to the wall.
