We have a 40’ 2023 Coachmen Sportscoach 403QS. The largest slide is the dining table / kitchen / refrigerator slide, ~18’. We traveled to Alaska and I didn’t really notice any difference in opening and closing the 4 slides on the trip. When we got to Alaska, another camper pointed out a broken slide rail. It is the upper rail and it snapped perhaps 1-1/2” from where the pin holds it. I have not functioned the slide since; sad because we had some other sites to see.
Long story short, Coachmen reps and Lippert have been awesome and are sending us a replacement. (I will deal with warranty later). We have not received our part and absolutely have to get on the road. Has anyone pulled their slide in with a broken rail before? Did you attempt to move it out down the road? I am very hesitant on moving the slide at all without a certified repair. If I can get it in, I will just leave it like that for the 3600 mile trip back to our service location.
