Power drapes were an option for that coach and ours are standard manual.  Sometimes I’m glad for ours when the occasional issue for the electric option appears here.  As Steve suggests, you’ll need a manufacturer name to pursue a parts diagram, and then the part, which is the road I’d try.  If all you need is a gear and can determine its specs, it may be available via vendors like McMaster-Carr, and save replacing the whole motor/drive.

If the motor is best replaced they might have that too.

But look for a mfr. first.   And perhaps ask at Northwest RV Supply 1(866)678-7467 , or Beaver Coach Sales Parts 1(877)773-1032 .

Thanks all. 
The motor works fine in rev and forward.  It just not making adequate contact with the track that will cause it to spin in place.  I will check out those links. Update as progress develops
