My wife left one of the latches attached and tried to lift up the top of our 07 Starcaft tent trailer. This has the motorized lift. I think she stripped the motor out, cause it is stuck up one notch and wont go up or down. Any idea what a dealer will charge to replace the motor?

If it is a Barker lift you may have just stripped a gear and not hurt the motor. Remove the back cover on the gear housing[four bolts] and you can see if a gear is stripped. Large gear can be removed by hand for inspection. I had to replace the large gear on my Barker lift last year after over 5 years and  of alot of use. It cost  $26.00 and I installed it my self.....
