This video would be great for someone totally familiar with the system and how it works. It left me with my head spinning. Definitely a "high speed crash course".

Most folks that have cable driven slideouts are very intimidated by them. This video, although fast paced, is an EXCELLENT "how to do it". Cudos!!

Totally agree with you George. Very intimidating. Not very comfortable doing any adjustments on mine. Yet.

Frequently used reference for getting these cables properly adjusted. Thank you.

You are wickedly talented at what you do and although you are 2 steps ahead mentally, the learner is 2 steps behind. You were able to get us back on the road so that we can not thank you enough. If you want a suggestion from your target audience... We would love if you would be willing to redo it slower. Things to consider if you choose do redo: 1)Starting position, out or in? 2) Briefly how does it work, what is opposite what. 3)Your RV is new so you can see all the components, we took off the covering however, we can not see the bottom brackets you were referring to. What advice do you have if we can not see this bracket. 4) When the guy ask you the question the tangent about the baby setup lost me. 5)When do what does it look like when it is out and in. Do the cords loosen or tighten in the final position? Thank you again!

Both ca les should always be tight out and in

Adjusting the cables is the easy part. Taking off all of the trim from the slide box without damaging it is the hard part since we have no idea how the trim was installed and what fasteners were used. Thank you for the great video. My only suggestion is a slower version for folks not familiar with the system.

If you have little button caps you can twist/pull those off, behind will be a screw, loosen those and the top panels should come off (if it's like mine). My side trim pieces were nailed in and I wanted a good look at the whole thing for my first try so I popped the one side off and the flimsy board broke leaving two pieces and all the staples/nails in the frame. I'll be pulling those and finding a better way to add that trim piece back.

This video would be fine for someone who needs a refresher, but I have more questions than I did before I saw it.

It looks so easy when there’s no fascia in the way. Last time we had ours serviced, they over tightened all the cables, and the bottom “out” brackets are cocked at an angle. They aren’t bent, whatever they attach to is now deformed.

Our slide outs come in perfectly. It’s the going out that they stick and I’m trying to figure out why. Other than the fact that they have to slide across a thick ass piece of plastic.

My slide out is tight at the top, but a big gap at the bottom. I’m gonna to try and adjust them again. This is ridiculous. Do you do house calls? I’m in Southern California Hesperia High Desert. thank you for your video it help I guess.

Is there adjustments to re-center the slide box rubbing on one side, gap on the other damaging seals

How do you center the room left to right?

Well I tried all that and motor pulled out of the wall so now I have the top of my slide out sitting against the wall , but the bottom is tilted all the way into the trailer. All my cables are off. I tried to jack the bottom up and out but it went farther in to the trailer. So I guess I messed up and now I’m screwed. If you got any ideas I sure would appreciate it. How do I get The bottom part of the slide out out. How do I get the money to stay on the wall.

What brand of trailer is that?! Where you get 6 lag bolts anchoring your motor to the wall and not three 1inch screws. Blew the motor off the wall.. Had to use a broom stick to open the bedroom fire window so i could crawl threw with a small ladder. Then shimmy between the top slide/ceiling to re-anchor the motor. That space will forever haunt me.

What is the name of that U-joint adapter between the drill and socket? Where I can buy?

Now you understand why we have a service center to repair new units.Do not use an impact and do not yank on the cables.

Exactly why they are job security for us mobile techs. Manufacturing facilities suck because they are about quantity not quality after COVID especially. DO NOT DO THIS TO MAINTAIN YOUR SYSTEM

Very cool, I love how there is minimal adjustment left when finished, what happens when the cables stretch as will happen over time? Is this an indicator that they be replaced?

Tighten chain slightly to and loosen non-stretched cable. That will allow stretched cable to be tightened more.

My IN bolt came out. How do I get it back in? The tension is too tight to get it back in.

Where do you work? Because you make it look so easy but it is not. Do you do house calls? I just ripped the motor out of wall and room is now sitting with bottom tilted in real far, top dropped way down and now I've just have a hole in my travel trailer wall with a tilted slide out.

How would you go about fixing an inch gap (bottom not top) on a slide that had dropped? Any online manuals to reference?

Victor Yes when slide is out. I have adjusted cables as much as I can and had after market rollers put on to make the slide smoother. I have a round a half inch gap now

You would have to loosen up the cables on whatever side at the bottom isn't touching and then you would have to jump the chain on the motor

Where are you located? Would you come fix mine?

How bout some work on the drop down slide?

Why am I more confused then before I saw this video

Every video I see of an RV manufacturing facility, the workers are flying through their jobs. I’m not sure if the workers are on some type of bonus system for meeting manufacturing goals or what. This is one of the reasons there are so many issues with new units coming off the assembly line. Light-weight materials and fast assembly = problems for the consumer.

I think the workers are on chemicals....like the Germans gave to their WWII soldiers....Guess it’s not a highly compensated job and no one really seems to care about quality....my take on things....This guy is going like a “Speed Demon” I get little knowledge from watching this. Then he’s calling the “top cable” the “bottom”....I guess the top cable affects the travel of the bottom of the slide....just frantic and confusing! My take on things

Top cable is marked 'BTW' or botton, ie the bottom of the slide box. Bottom cable is connected to the top of the slide box.

This guy lack the ability to teach he acks like he in a assembly line at some factory where he has a quota to meet However it did say adjustment under 7 min so great job on that

Moving too fast for us beginnings. I need slow and steady and explain why you're doing what you're doing. That way I'll get it and understand why I have to do it that way. Hands on learner with visual and auditory supports

Another "HAMMER" mechanic...

AND WONDER WHY RVs NEED REPAIRED ALL THE TIME

What's the hurry? RVing101... Slow down. We all know this. So again, what's the hurry? I'm off to find a different video.

Another reason not to get the "cable driven slide outs."

That's great that you can do it but you do it so fast nobody can really watch and you know what I've tried it and I tried it my cable so f***** up my slide-out room is up on one side of the floor and it's rubbing on the other side of the wall. I replaced all the cables and they're still messed up so now I have to buy eight new cables so don't make it seem so simple and easy cuz not. Give me a phone number and you can come fix it for me and I'll pay you. Vicky

Its no wonder this stupid design always breaks.....look how fast they try to put it together. Not this guys fault though.

This is why campers are built like crap.

Only slide out thats worse belongs to lippert. Slide designs are now trash. Slide rams with gears systems or hydraulic underslide mounts are way more dependable and less trouble. Stay away from this slide system. Period

i would NEVER own this garbage rube goldberg contraption. My sympathies to those who do.
