Camping World - Forest Lake
Forest Lake RV dealer and repair shop with 4.5 stars from 1,552 reviews, praised for patient sales staff and no-pressure shopping.
A slide-out that won't budge turns a weekend trip into a driveway project fast. Forest Lake has 2 shops that handle slide-out work, and both also do roofs, fridges, awnings, generators, leveling and winterizing, which saves you a second trip when something else acts up. Both take warranty work, and the average rating across them is 4.8. That is a small field, so call before you haul the rig over.

Two shops cover slide-outs here, and both are Camping World locations on the same service side of the business. The larger one carries a 4.5 rating over 1,552 reviews, so it sees plenty of volume. The second listing shows a 5.0 from a single review, which tells you almost nothing, so weigh it lightly. What matters more is that both stock parts and both take warranty work. A slide-out that stops mid-travel is usually a motor, a gear, a controller or a jammed seal, and having parts on hand shortens the wait. Ask what they think it is before you drive over, and ask if the part is in stock.
There are no mobile slide-out techs listed in Forest Lake, so plan on bringing the RV in rather than having someone come to your site. That changes the math on a stuck slide-out: if it will not retract, you may need to manually crank it in before you can move safely. Your owner's manual shows the override, and it is worth reading before you are standing in the rain. Two more shops sit nearby if the Forest Lake locations are booked out. Spring and early summer fill up first, so book ahead once you know your dates.
Do a little homework first. Note whether the slide-out fails on one side, stalls partway, or runs but leaks, since each points to a different fix. Check the seals and look for water tracks along the floor, because a roof or seal problem can look like a slide problem. If the rig is under warranty, call the warranty provider for pre-approval before work starts; both shops here do warranty work, but approval still takes a call. Empty what you can from the slide and take photos of the failure. Clear details save diagnostic time, and time is money at any shop.

Yes, both of the Forest Lake listings accept warranty work. Get pre-approval from your warranty provider before the shop starts, and confirm what your plan covers so there are no surprises at pickup.
No mobile slide-out techs are listed in Forest Lake, so expect to bring the RV to a shop. If the slide will not retract, use the manual override in your owner's manual so you can move the rig safely.
The two shops average 4.8. One holds a 4.5 across 1,552 reviews, and the other shows 5.0 from a single review, so treat that second number as a thin sample and ask about turnaround when you call.
