Fantastic info, thanks Ian! Saved it because it's so important to know these tips. 👍👍👍

@user-sg9vj4sp1w 7 месяцев назад

You are awesome! Thank you so much! I Just followed your instructions and wala ... the slide is in! I will have fond memories forever of this day and your wonderful RU-vid instructional. You're the best. It was a cable slide.

We just bought a 2017 Denali lite 5th wheel M2445RL a few days ago. Before hitching it up for the 1.5 hr trip home, we watched as the seller demonstrated how to extend and retract the (1) slide out. There were no apparent issues with the slide out. Once we got home & attempted to extend the slide out, it wouldn’t budge, and the tv battery was low. We connected to shore power and let the battery charge over the last 30 hours. It appears to be rack & pinion slide out. We hope to try again tomorrow to extend the slide out. If we have to use the manual override, I understand that the battery should be disconnected first. Right? Any further suggestions?

@campingworld Год назад

I would recommend taking a voltmeter to the battery to test it after charging. If the battery isn't holding a charge, you'll want to replace it. You are correct in that you'll want to disconnect the battery before manually moving to prevent any potential backfeed. I would also check the fuse box to make sure nothing tripped and a fuse didn't blow during your trip home. Hope that helps and good luck! -Ian Baker

So what about if your cable is broken will this still bring in your slide ??? Or is this only ifyou don't have power

@campingworld 5 дней назад

Hi Carl! I'd recommend contacting your local service center to see if they offer mobile service that can come to you and diagnose the issue. Here's a link you can use to find a location near you: rv.campingworld.com/locations

We just bought a 2022 178bhsk I cannot find the place to manually bring the slide in or out. Does it just not have one

hey Corey! I can help you find your nearest service center for more info. what's your zip code?

@jenniferhall7240 Год назад

My slide was struggling to come in or go out. I took my coach to the mechanic and while they were diagnosing my slide my dinette got a ton of damage. Can you help me figure out how this happened?

@campingworld Год назад

Hi Jennifer. I'd like to have your nearest Camping World service team look into this. You can connect with them here: rv.campingworld.com/service

@miztrusa Год назад

Great info but they really don't make it easy on the 2021 KEYSTONE PASSPORT 240BH I jus bought. Gotta rip front board off to get to the motor. They shoulda made the center crown piece removable!

@campingworld Год назад

Hey Mike, thank you for the comment. Without being able to see it personally, I would suggest taking that into the closest Camping World. Have them take a look at it and see if something can be done. I hope there is! Thank you for watching! - Chris Young

Regarding the Schwintek slide, how do you manually operate it if the battery is dead?

@campingworld Год назад

Hey Steve, Ian Baker here. In that event, you’d need to unplug the connectors on both side of the control panel. This will disconnect the brake motors and allow you to manually push the slide in. Hope this helps! -Ian Baker

Oh man Dannie, I'm sorry I'm unfamiliar with what system that RV had. I would recommend reaching out to your local Camping World so they can do some research for you. Sorry I'm unable to assist any further! -Ian Baker

@@campingworld This is the advice I was looking for. Something is wrong with the switch in my RV so even using it after the override wasn't working. Hopefully this will work and I can just push the sliders in.

No info on if your shwintek or slimrack motors go bad ?

@campingworld Год назад

Hi Thomas! If you suspect the motor on your slideout is bad, I'd recommend taking your RV into a service center to confirm the issue with a certified technician. Here's the link to where you can contact a service center: rv.campingworld.com/rv-service-maintenance Let us know if you have any other questions! - Tucker Ballister

@ke5wl804 Месяц назад

@@campingworld The title of your video says you were going to show how to manually operate all these slide systems. Can't take an RV to the dealer if it's stuck out at a campground.

@abdulazeemalizerig1607 2 месяца назад

How can we take the extension completely out.... It's stuck in the middle We only need to level the floor by pulling the whole thing out as we're not taking it on the road or moving it from the camping ground ...

@campingworld 2 месяца назад

Hi There! This technically is only intended for manually retracting an RV slide-out. If yours isn't extending as intended (when operating according to the manufacturer's instructions), then it's best to manually retract it and schedule an appointment to have it inspected by a certified technician. Here's a link to help you find contact information for our service department: rv.campingworld.com/rv-service-maintenance Hope that helps! - Tucker Ballister

How do I get the slide out in and out when the battery is died

@campingworld Год назад

Hey Dannie, Ian Baker here. If you have a Shwintek slide, you’ll need to unplug the connectors on both sides of the control panel. This will disconnect the brake motors and allow you to manually push the slide in. Depending on the size of the slide, it may require several people to push in. Hope this helps! -Ian Baker

hey Dannie, I'd be happy to help u find your nearest dealership for more assistance! what's ur zip code?

@lawhesl01 3 месяца назад

So in the real world where you only have six inches between the top of the slide out and the ceiling exactly how are you supposed to reach the motor on a cable slide when the slide is fully retracted? 🤷‍♂️

@louisevad6091 3 месяца назад

If it's fully retracted take it to a shop

@campingworld 3 месяца назад

Hi There! It is going to be a bit of a tough reach. A step ladder can help, but some models are constructed in a way that requires removing the inner fascia of the slide to get access to the motor, which then means you'll need to re-install once repairs are complete. What year, make, and model are you working on?

My slide is stuck in and motor turns with power. Gear box is bad.

He didn't explain how to. If you don't have the extension rod. My trailer doesn't have it.

@campingworld Год назад

Hi! What type of slide does your unit have? Your simple answer may be that you need to acquire an extension rod. But if we know the type of slide you're working on, we can better assist. Hope that helps! - Tucker Ballister
