BAL Exact Slide Motor issues

I can’t be the only one having issues with these slide motors. We have a 2025 Montana High Country 381TB. Two BAL Exact slides, one in the front and one in the rear. We have already replaced both motors on the front slide. First at 3 months and the second at 6 months. I am getting ready to replace both of them again (12 months). I will also need to replace the rear slide motors as well very soon.

Am I just destined to replace motors every few months at $300 each time?

Thanks!

Tongue Box for batteries

I got the harbor freight box. Had scrap solid wood shelf, put that at the bottom for rigidity, a thing piece of plywood for the back. Mainly to screw the battery trays at bottom. The back one for the cables and the bracket holding the digital battery disconnect. Also did a pass thru battery junction block I think it’s called. Got new locks. Had to make holes for the locks and weld the latch or whatever ever it’s called where the hook catches. One on each side since it’s impossible to do it from the center. Holes for vents, and did to size wiring and terminals. New wires on back to connect it all from rv to the back of the box terminals.

2026 Coleman 17B water heater question

I’m confused about the tankless water heater. On some videos I’ve watched about it it said “you’ll have endless supply of water as long as you’re hooked up to electric” on others it said “make sure to get an extra propane tank to make sure every one gets to take a hot shower”. So which one is it? Is it electric only or propane only or dual?
