Excellent presentation. Thank you. Just a friendly reminder that a "no slide" coach is the best coach of all.

Now we see why these jobs can be expensive, you need this type of expertise to have it done correctly. And yes James this wasn’t his first rodeo. 😊😊👍

As an owner of a 2009 Affinity I appreciate understanding this James. Thanks so much!!

Glad to help!

The original rollers were molded and had a thin wall right where the roller contacts the guide and failed all to often. HWH used to sell rollers and pins for repair but they stopped doing that several years ago. I was faced with an emergency repair and bought a nylon rod and pins from McMaster-Carr. I was lucky to gain access to a small lathe and made a sack full of rollers. Its been more than a few years and my replacement rollers are holding up fine. To replace a defective roller I just nick off the swaged end of the roller pin and install the new roller, pin and clip. Easy peasy - when you can get to the chain that is. James, your video and approach will help many folks, and maybe me someday, that are stuck with a faulty slideout mechanism - Thank You!!

Great job glad it wasn't the other side!!!

Me too!

Way to go James, thank you for the lesson. Happy trails!

Thank you for the extra effort required to make these videos. Appreciate the information and you are quite an expert, indeed.

Great video, it also reaffirms my desire to have no slides 😂. Also enjoyed the hairy supervisor...

You make it look so easy 1 handed even!!!

Thanks for another informative video. We appreciate you taking the time to film the process. Your the man. Thanks James

Beautiful coach! When my eyes glaze over watching you work, I know it would be time to call in the pros! Great work young man! 👍

Looking at your "spare defective" hydraulic pump - that is exactly what I have on my 2005 Cedar Creek 5th wheel - terrible design of that plastic reservoir. I tried replacing o-rings, and other ideas - still leaked. Finally found a metal reservoir that was the same size. Very snug fit, and no leaks to this day.

Nice work, James.

James? Yes, he can do it, even with one hand tied to a camera! 😁

I can't believe you were in Greenville the other day. You could have been our guest only 6-7 miles away. I might have had you assess our 23 Tiffin Phaeton. You're welcome to visit Greenville soon! Great vids, James.

Thank you! I was there for 18 hours top!

Since I couldn't get on your schedule to do the chains on my Vectra, I had a local shop do both of them for me. In the process of bleeding the system the front cylinder left the chat and it looked like a murder scene with red hydraulic fluid pouring out the front wheel well. Also had the hoses from the rear cylinder to the equalizing cylinder replaced.

Thank you!

Do you have RV slide repair nightmares? ❤❤❤

James I would venture to say that you have done that before. 😎

Awesome as usual!😅

You are good!

👍Make it look so easy. 💯

Many thanks for posting this great video. I have an '05 Monaco Exec that I know has a broken roller in that very same chain behind the passenger seat. I found pieces of it on the floor maybe 3 years ago but had heard it was quite a job to replace. Now I can see why it is. So far everything is still functioning OK but I know it's only a matter of time. I thought you could replace just the broken roller and didn't know you had to replace the entire chair. Didn't HWH used to offer repair kits for those chains?

Gorgeous coach. I'm looking for one just like it (minus slide issues...lol)

Great video! Was wondering if there is any maintenance I should be doing on this type of slide? Lube the chain, etc. Thanks for taking the time to put this together!

no lube is necessary

Was that a Fletch reference?

Did you inspect the other’s 😂 by the way good job. I see you taking care.

How many hours would this job pay

Looking at getting a Country Coach Manga, do they have the same set up or is it a better system and less likely to go bad? Thanks, appreciate your videos!

James, have you ever replaced a Solenoid on a HWH system? I have one that is allowing my slide to drift out and I can only find the solenoid from HWH at $250 per. Any idea where else to find them?

Why do you have a red painted Wrench?

I was actually wondering on my 2017 if I should spray the chains with chain lube or Teflon or are they self maintenance.

self maintenance, lube will attract dirt

Great video. Why not use Stainless Steel wheels.

@shrconstruction

Because stainless steel would gall and bind up. They are using nylon most likely because of its self lubricating properties. They should be using hardened steel with bearings but that would eliminate selling repair parts which would go against the profit programs of rv manufactures.

Sir you really need to invest in a head cam that way you have both hands available to work on stuff and not worry about having to put the cam down

First

Probably not DIY

Hey, go get your knee’s fixed but good, sell the coach, put the money in the bank and forget the rv’ing. Seriously . Not being an ass but health is more important.
