Question BR slide and flooring issues

[Chuggs]

Hmmmm. Let’s see… new BR slide floor or replace new AGMs with lithium batteries. I’ll have to think about that for a second.

Disassemble! Waiting on the floor section fabrication. Which was ordered in August.

In case anyone wondered. The plastic pan in the BR slideout floor is the black rectangle. The only thing you could possibly do there is plug the Aerobed unit into the back wall outlet.

That looks like a lot of effort just to check the torque on the slide motor bolts.

I'm still scratching my head over how this happened. Seems it started with a piece of trim moving.

Not so bad if you have enough tools!

Buddy, my kitchen slide is doing the exact same thing on the other end on my DS. It is going in for repairs in March. I will try to get the repair solution and report back. The initial diagnosis is the slide is out of adjustment.

I'm interested in hearing more...

It's looking a lot like I'm trying to highjack Jim's (@lostinfla) thread about batteries, but not true! @Neal - a new thread?

 

[Neal]

Yes, keep thread on topic, I'll move the posts to a new thread for you all in a moment...

 

[Neal]

Now in a new thread, continue....

Ut oh… when you get passed along to a new thread, it surely means somethings wrong.

@GlampDaddy your photo is exactly how ours presented. At first, I thought the lower window box trim had merely shifted. Looked underneath and the extrusion was firmly fixed to the floor…with nothing there I could find to just tighten and shift it back up into alignment. We decided to take a trip this past summer/fall to include Bauer to have captains chairs recovered, and include Newmar to have the slideout adjusted, half bath buckling wall fixed, some paint and diamond shield redone, and a Newmar logo replaced. Tech said the floor had swollen due to water damage…and would take 32 hrs to remove the bed, floor, etc..and repair. Couldn’t get fitted into busy repair schedule…but went ahead and scheduled for less busy winter visit.

He is redoing the seal around automatic slide out lock...as it appears to have been a possible entry for water while extended, new seal around the whole box, new floor, some new rollers, new motor… Floor was finally delivered to the stall today. Tomorrow they we see how far they get. We may be spending another weekend here.

Scary thing is…it is going to be just like it was before, so, I don’t know how long it will take for this issue to arise again. I know I will be checking seals and the auto lock seating to hopefully prevent water incursion again. And they will rain booth the coach after repairs are complete.
