I have a 2019 Coachmen Chaparral 298RLS 5th Wheel, with squeaky slide out floor rollers. I was able to easily lubricate the Kitchen Slide (Driver's Side) floor rollers, as they are easily accessible under the slide seal, when the slide is open. Unlike the Kitchen Slide, the floor rollers on the Entry/Passenger Side slide are inaccessible when the slide seal is pulled out, or from the inside, because there is carpeting and a plastic barrier that block access to the rollers. Anyone have an idea how to expose the floor rollers on the entry slide for lubrication?
 
What kind of slide are you referencing? Is it cable activated, you'll see the cables when its out. Or, a Scwintech slide where there are metal gear tracks exposed on the sides of the slide, or rack and pinion where the slide rides hydraulic or electric geared arms underneath the slide?

Have you looked for a Chaparral owners sub-forum where you might find someone with your exact rig?

I have rack and pinion electric motor driven slides. The squeaking comes from the rollers that are between the chassis and the bottom of the slide. I've looked everywhere including the Chaparral owners sub-forum and cannot find any info about lubricating the rollers. I even contacted the Chaparral technical folks and the dealer's service department, without any luck.
