Description of the problem	While operating the driver front slide, the harness that encases electrical wires in a plastic chain, did not flow back into the box designed for it. The plastic chain failed and the harness backed up and got wedged between the area it slides into and the exterior of the slide outside the motor home squashed the harness and electrical wires. And of course, because you are inside the rv closing the slide, you don't see the damages until its too late. That harness also is attached to a metal bracket which is in return attached to the moving slide. With 50 amp service plugged into the rv, i believe this could be a severe electrical hazard. The plastic chain harness also became detached from the rear of the "box" it slides into which is supposed to be permanently attached to the rv. I have pictures of the damages when this happened to my coach. I have also reviewed internet forums. There seems to be a consistent problem with this design. It's my opinion that electrical hazards like this could cause bodily injury or start fires. I am surprised that i have not seen, nor gotten, any recalls for this issue. I have heard others say that this was a bad design, and yet winnebago industries knows this, will not elaborate on their technical fix, or a put out a recall on this problem so that it doesn't happen again to us or others. Without recall, and this happening to someone else, they might not be so luck to rectify this on the road because the damages could be more severe updated 11/14/13*cn
