slide out

Just received my new DX3. Slides will only work with engine running and parking brake applied. Is this normal? I assumed they would work with shore and generator power as well. I’m thinking something isn’t wired properly.

My first post! I am new to trailers and recently purchased a used 2016 Forest River Salem Villa Estate destination trailer with three slide outs. I've been figuring out a lot on maintenance and operation from reading this forum and youtube, But the one thing that confuses me is the switch for...

Anyone know how to prevent your slide out seals from melting and sticking?

I noticed that my slide out it touching the floor when it's in. After examining the rollers underneath, I noticed that some have a flat spot on them and need to be replaced. Would anyone have any idea how to go about doing this? Do I need to remove the slide out box completely, of is there...

My dinette slide out is touching the floor when it's in. I noticed a white powder on the floor and on closer examination, I noticed some indents on the cushion floor. It appears to be from some crews that are underneath the dinette. If I can't fix this problem, it's only a mater of time before...

Have a 2011 Cedar Creek with the slide out covers that have the medal cover that rolls up. I took my RV for a test drive with my new truck slide outs closed OK. When I returned I opened the slide outs and could tell something was wrong with the bedroom slide out. It was opening fine at the...

The end cap on the bolt that goes through the roller on my rear slide on my 08 surveyor has come off. I have both the cap and the roller and bolt are still hanging in place. How do I remove the weight to put it back together or replace the roller.

As a previous trailer owner and now a class C owner you would assume I had learned my lesson. Here goes nothing. Is there any service I should be performing on my slide out? My rig is a 2017 forester 3051s and I have done nothing to the slide in the last four years since I bought it. I had an...

I have a 2020 2606WS. The last few times we have tried to move the big slide out, the motor didn't respond. It finally worked after toggling the switch between extend/retract a few times. Is this hesitation the sign of a motor problem developing? I've regularly maintained the track and seals...

General random question that came up amongst some camper buddies. Do you think any issue with adjusting the forward-backward leveling with the camper slide out, i.e. camper wheels leveled and locked, just adjustining from front to back? If so, does it matter on what type of slide, i.e. swintek...

I bought a 2004 8281ss 5th wheel 2 weeks ago. When I looked at it I had concerns about the slide out cause when it starts to come in the outer part drops down and comes in on an angle. When I mentioned this the old owner said it was like that since new and showed be a plastic ramp underneath. So...

My 2013 Heritage Glen 298RE TT blows the 20 amp fuse every time I extend one of the slides. The fuse powers some of the interior lights that are mounted in two of the three slides. All other 12vdc devices look OK. I don't see any obvious wiring problems. Is there any way to get a wiring...

Hello are there any links anyone can share for schematics of fuses, breakers and resets for my 2018 Forrester 2861DS? I have 13.49 volts on the batteries, all fuses I can find look good, but the slides or awning do not operate from the digital control panel. When I oust the extend button I see...

We have a 2016 Columbus 377MB. Our Bunkhouse slide is stuck. It's out a couple inches but wont go in or out. We don't hear the motor. I am trying to find the Schwintek control board so I can reset it. Anyone have ANY idea where it is located? I can not find it. Thank you ahead of time....:crying:

My front slide out works when it’s plugged into shore power but not on battery power. Is this bad batteries?

Just finished re sealing all the silicone joints and notice the underside of one side was starting to peel. The Bunk slide has a plastic under it which is fine. The front driver side slide seem to have a textured paint on it. Anyone know what I should use to repair this?

I've been trying to find my slide out auto reset circuit. The main reason to find it was to replace it. When putting the slides out or taking them in it stops and I have to wait a less than a minute and then start again. It's been like this ever since we bought it new (5 years ago). I've seen...

So we're in the middle of dealing with several warranty issues.. goes with the territory I know. However, one problem we had was the rubber needed to be repaired on the right front living slide. That has since been repaired and there are no more leaks; however, the slide now makes a horrendous...

Hi Im completely new to all of this. I was given a 2006 FR Cedar Creek Silverback camper and there are a few repairs to be made. Any help would be greatly appreciated. First up I have attached a picture of the main slide out where the trim/moulding is bent back and has pulled 3 screws clean...

I had to use the manual override to move my slide in. When I tried to bring it out, there was a loud bang. Now the motor shaft spins freely. This is a salem travel trailer. I think I I came in too far

I will try to keep the negativity & be civil about Primetime/Forest River. I have sent photos & at least a half-a-dozen emails to Primetime at their request. My unit is 2016 Crusader 295RST, I have delam above the dinette slide out up to the roof, I have delam on the side of the appliance slide...

Hello. Brand new member here. 2007 All American Sport Toy Hauler - 5th Wheel 38.5 ft. (3 slide outs, one switch) My issue is that one of my slide outs (kitchen area) is not wanting to completely seal when slide outs are in the open position. It seems to seal correctly on the left side...

Hey all, We just picked up our wildwood 273qbxl in May, and up until last camping trip it’s been great. However when we got to the campground and opened the slide out, we found that the corner of the step up in the slide dug into the floor and started ripping the floor up. Does anyone else have...

Hello, I have a 2013 Forrest River Heritage Glen Lite 272BH that I bought 1 yr ago. It's my first travel trailer with a slide out so I am pretty unfamiliar with their function and how they are adjusted. When the slide is all the way in, it is sealed evenly against the side of the camper...

Hi friends, The slide on my 2018 Forester 3271 is jamming up. It closes fine but when I open it the first few inches it jams up on what appears to be some sort of a track or guide almost in he middle of the slide under the counter in front of the sink. I can see it jam from underneath looking...
