Expert Answers about RV Slide Out Parts

• Why Would MORryde RV Generator Slide Out Tray Get Stuck Sliding Halfway Out
• Sounds like maybe there's an alignment issue with your MORryde RV Generator Slide Out Tray part # MR69RR that is not allowing it to fully slide out. It's like a desk drawer where two sections of the railing slide out as you pull the tray out so I would inspect to make sure there isn't something causing the second rail to get hung up.

• Is Slide Topper Awning Rail Same as Rain Gutter
• Awning rails are the rails that are above the slide out that the slide topper like part # LCV000163290 would attach to. They are not the same as the rain gutter. You have to have this on your RV to install a slide topper and we do not carry them. If you check out the picture I attached you will see our installer with his hand on the awning rail.

• Troubleshooting RV Slide Out that Makes Grinding Noise In and Out
• When RV slide outs start grinding the issue is sometimes something dragging on something else in the track. It can be that the tracks had something fall into them and now that is what you are hearing or they are misaligned. Sometimes it can also be a stripped gear. Sometimes it can also be that the motor and gear box isn't all the way tightened down. Best option is to get underneath the slide out and inspect everything and you'll most likely see the issue. Or you can take it to an RV...

• Troubleshooting Slide Out Crunching
• A slide out should - obviously - not be crunching and there are a myriad of potential issues that simply replacing the gear pack with one like # LC123356 would not be prudent. What it could be is that some how the slide out has become misaligned or there is some other type of internal issue that a simple replacement part would be unable to remedy. I very strongly recommend taking your 2015 Phaeton Tiffin to get serviced by an RV professional to diagnose the issue.

• How To Retention A Solera Slide Out Awning
• To retention your Solera RV Slide-Out Awning # LCV000168109 you'll want to extend the slide out and can then get on a ladder and get up to the arms. You'll disconnect the extension rod # LC3452072 from the arm and then can roll the arm 12 - 16 times towards the trailer and slip a pin or small screwdriver through the slot in the connection point between the arms and the roller tube to lock the arm in place and then reconnect it to the extension rod. Once both arms are reset you can roll...

• What Would Cause An Above Floor Slide Out To Constantly Shear The Motor Shaft
• I am not sure which exact slide-out system you have as there are several, made by both Power Gear and Happijac but I spoke with Lippert who now owns Power Gear. They informed me that there is not a clutch to stop the motor from overextending nor do they think the motor is overpowered but what they suspect is happening is that the slide is dragging which is then not allowing the drive shaft to turn thereby shearing the pin. In order to confirm this you would need to look under the trailer...

• Troubleshooting A Solera Slide Out Awning That's Touching The Corner Of The Flange
• The reason why the extension rod of your Solera RV Slide-Out Awning # LCV000168107 is touching the corner flange piece is either because you have too large of an awning installed or the awning isn't centered on the slide out. If the tension isn't properly split between the two rods then it will pull too much on one side and start touching the flange. Too large of an awning places the extension rods too far out in the mounting brackets and they start to bend. If I could see some pictures...

• Resetting The Tension Springs On A Solera Slide-Out Awning
• You'll have to remove the roller tube on the Solera Slide-Out Awning # LCV000163285 and reroll the fabric and then reattach the roller to the arms. The manufacturer recommends rolling it completely back up and then unrolling it only one revolution and attaching while the slide out is closed or at max slid 6" away from the RV.

• Troubleshooting Slide-Out that Activates when Jacking Up a Trailer
• From the sounds of the issue, it is possible that you have bad solenoids on your hydraulics that are pushing hydraulic fluid through when they shouldn't be active. This can be a sign that the mechanism needs replaced. If your 2017 Forest River has the common Lippert Trimbetta model slideout system, the replacement you need is the Lippert Replacement Hydraulic Power Unit with 2-Quart Pump Reservoir Kit for RV Slide-Out IRC System # LC141111.

• Troubleshooting A Furrion RV Fireplace That Won't Turn On
• If you've ensured proper voltage to the Furrion RV Electric Fireplace with Crystals # FF30SC15ABL and it still won't turn on then you most likely have a blown circuit board, which would require reaching out to Furrion to replace or you could potentially be having issues with the safety sensors. If you installed the slide out safety switch the wiring could have a loose connection or be damaged and is preventing the unit from powering on. Your best bet is to reach out to Furrion and try...

• Replacing The Flexguard On A 2016 Heartland RV Gateway Fifth Wheel 3400SE
• Based on the pictures you've provided it looks like the other end is running up under a seal. In one of the pictures you can see where the strip broke and it looks like it was screwed to the bottom of the slide out box and that's where it separated from other portion of the strip. You'll need to pull that wiper seal back to reveal the screws holding the strip in place. It's typically just screwed into the box so you can just reuse the mounting holes when swapping in the new strip. I've...

• Troubelshooting RV Slide Out Creep
• If you've replaced the motor and your slide out is still creeping then it's most likely a worn crown gear in your slide out's gear pack. Over time the teeth can wear and allow the slide to creep outwards. We carry a few size options for replacing the gear pack so you'll want to measure the arm to figure out the correct size for your trailer. I've attached a video below where I'll walk you through this as well as the replacement process. 2"x 2" # LC281331 2.5"x 2.5" # LC123356 2"x 3" #...

• How to Test a Brake Controller for When Brakes Lock Up all the Time
• Testing the brake controller is fairly easy. Sever the blue brake output wire near the brake controller leaving enough room to reconnect it and then apply the manual slide. Using a circuit tester like part # PTW2993, you should get output to the controller side of the wire you severed. If the manual slide activates the trailer brake output wire properly, try the brake pedal. If the brake pedal activates the brake output properly also then the problem is farther back either in the vehicle...

• Adding Tension To The Tension Springs On A Solera Slide Topper Awning
• If the fabric on your Solera RV Slide-Out Awning - 6'7" Wide - 48" Projection - White # LCV000163285 is laying loose with no tension you've most likely lost the required amount of tension on your tension springs. You'll want to remove the slide topper from the brackets and reroll the awning roller 14 times to add enough tension to the springs. You'll also want to ensure your end caps are properly secured to keep the tension on your springs.

• Troubleshooting/Replacement Slide Out Motor on Motorhome
• Before replacing the motor, you'll want to make sure its receiving a full 12V and it's properly grounded. Those motors work hard, and if they're not getting full power because of a supply or ground power, they aren't going to work right. The # LC386322 replacement motor assembly replaces the Kwikee assembly motor numbers 387738 and 386322. The other motor you'd looked at, part # LC138449 replaces a Klauber D-300 Slide-Out Motor. For a replacement, the best way to specify the correct replacement...

• Troubleshooting 5th Wheel Slide Out That Extends But Doesn't Retract
• You could be experiencing some sort of hydraulic issue, so I would check the hydraulic lines for any signs of leakage and make sure that the reservoir is not low. I would also recommend that you're getting the full 12v of power onto the solenoid on the Hydraulic Power Unit. If you can verify that there are no leaks present and your reservoir is full, let me know and I can give you a couple of other troubleshooting steps. At the end of the day, you may need to replace the hydraulic pump...

• Troubleshooting Limited Side Clearance When Installing A Slide Out Awning
• The arms of a slide out sit approximately 2.5" past the fabric. The Solera RV Slide-Out Awning # LCV000177334 goes up to 145 so if subtract 140.5 from that you're left with 4.5" that would be divided in two and added to the 2.5" from the arm, which would mean that your awning sticks out roughly 4.75" on each side past your 140.5" measurement. The # LCV000168328 fits a flange measurement of 134" - 139" so you would only have to worry about the 2.5" on each side which would shrink as well...

• Troubleshooting A Slide-Out Motor That Isn't Turning The Slide-Out Actuator
• Based on the noise I'm hearing from your video it sounds like your gears may be stripped out. If the # LC295380 wasn't working you wouldn't hear the knocking that you're getting or see the shaft turn. First, I recommend removing the motor and then removing the base cover (pictured below). There are gears inside that turn to activate the shaft that connects to the actuator. You'll also want to check the shear pin, which slides through the shaft to turn the actuator. If it's damaged that...

• Solera 18V Power RV Awning Only Makes 1/2 Turn in Either Direction
• If you are only getting 1/2 a turn on your Solera 18V Power RV Awning then the first thing I would do is apply power directly to the motor (18 volt drill battery). If the awning then works then you know there is an issue with the battery (even if it is fully charged) and it will need to be replaced. The correct replacement we have for this is the 18.5V Lithium Ion Battery for Solera Powered Awning part # LC387959. If the awning does not work when you apply power to the motor then you know...
