Sounds like you have the head on straight and getting it done!
So maybe I can point out a small clue for you to consider?
Not at all sure how your RV is set up but if they are changing out the motors, it may be a good time to peak at how your wires are set up.
Some motors fail, not because there is anything wrong with the motor like fried, but due to how the wire is installed. I might want to check if the wiring is left loose in the space and hanging down without any support!
Some have several feet of wiring hanging down with nothing to take the strain off the connections at the motors!
If you find the wires are broken and makes the motor stop, check that the new isn't installed the same way.
You can also see some cases where the motor and connections on top get water on them and short out.
To save future early failures, I might try to solve both these design problems
before they button it all back together.
A couple feet of wire hanging off the soldered connections or placed so they get wet?
NOT something you want to rebuild the same way if you have it open to look at!
Hoping you have a better plan but worth looking if you get a chance?
