Topic: Slide out Posted: 21 Jul 2016 at 7:31pm |
I am on my first long trip with Lizzy(R 180) The screws are coming out at bottom of slide on both sides. Has anyone else had this problem and did you just try to tighten screws? I think they will just pull out again as slide seems to feel pulling when let out. Thanks

Is this inside or outside? Where exactly are the screws that are pulling out? Do you have pictures? I will be looking at our 179 tomorrow when it is light.

They are pulling out at the bottom of both sides of the slide on the outside. I have watched from the inside while it is sliding and I can not see anything causing it to drag and pull on the screws.

There are three rollers underneath the slide-out. If one of those is sticking, it might be sufficient to cause drag. Someone would need to be looking from outside as well as the inside to see what is happening.

Thanks, will watch from outside. I can't get pictures to download from IPad as files are too large

Picking up my 180 next week. Did you get this problem solved? Were the screws coming loose on the slide out, only. Or all around the camper.

On slide out only, bottom of. Both sides. It is at repair shop now and anxious to find out what caused this. Will post when I get it back and find out.

We'll be waiting for your report. So far, I have not noticed anything similar, although it does look like the caulking around the edge of the black liner was done before the liner was pulled tight. It was bowed somewhat in the middle. I have since redone the caulking there and have not noticed any further slippage.

Given that I am going to be 5 hours away from the dealer, this could be a real problem. Thanks.

par49,
Relax. This is likely a rather unique problem. I have not seen any other reports of screws coming out of slides in my reading of the forum. We got our 179 in December and have had 4 big and one small trips with it. We have not encountered any problems with the slide or its operation other than the very minor item noted above. |
