Hey Lou, I have seen the new ones, they are pretty small too. This one was the original and really cant complain how long it lasted ( 15 yrs ) and lots of use on a large heavy slide. I even had to adjust the height of that slide once but cant find the footage. I think the bad roads really have a lot to do with the abuse they take. I was on the LIE years ago visiting relatives in L.I. and then up to Niagara Falls, I had to tighten every screw in the motorhome LOL. Take care.

It seems easy when you look at someone else who is doing it :) Very good tutorial! All the best!

You are welcome, the slide system is very easy to get to and troubleshoot compared to some newer models. Hopepefully you will never need to do this but it’s good to know how they operate and where all the mechanism is. Good luck with your Dolphin. They were built very well.👌

Great video. I wish our Lippert slideout mechanism was like yours, with pretty much everything accessible from underneath. Our Lippert slideout motors are hidden inside the rubber seals, one at each end of the slideout , near the top. We’ve been lucky so far, and haven’t had a need to replace either of them.

Have you ever changed out a Lippert Components Above Floor Slide-Out dual rail? I can't find any information on how to change out the cam follower or rollers on the rail. I think you have to pull the slide completely off to replace these. I've had a couple go loose and I'm afraid one day they will fail and I won't be ready....Thanks

Thanks John , for the information, I have a question. I have a 2005 bounder, 36' long, with two slides. Electric slide out system is made by Power gear. I am having trouble with the slide in the living area. We were about to go on vacation, and I was about to bring the slide in , and as I pushed the button, I heard banging coming from beneath the slide. I stopped trying to retract the slide. I went under the slide and had my wife press the switch. I then noticed that both shafts were buffeting and vibrating very loud, and that the motor was trying to turn the shafts. I called the dealer and of course they were very busy and could not give me an appointment for two weeks. That is the end of the vacation. My question is that could it be the motor gears , like the one you just replaced? I would be thankful for any information you could provide. Thank You, Ed

@JohnCRV

5 жыл бұрын

Sorry to hear about your troubles Ed. If the both shafts are not moving and you hear gears grinding it can only be stripped gears. If you want to make sure you can take the motor and gear box down an then take the gear box apart. Good luck.

I need to replace my livingroom slideout. I have a 2006 Tiffin Allegro Open Road Workhorse. Same as your rig, W22, ETC... What Powergear part number for the slideout will I need to repair the motor? My problem is the right side of the slide out will retract, but the left side will not retract evenly. I had to have assistance of others push the slideout in as I depressed the slideout button. What can be the problem?

@JohnCRV

Hey Guy, Does your slide make any type of noise on the side that's dragging? do hear the gears skipping on the track. It may be an up/down track adjustment issue. Watch this video if you have not already, it will give you an idea of how the tracks and gears look on each side. kzread.info/dash/bejne/la2XzKqrfrDUnMo.html

@JohnCRV

I found that the slide is level and sits on the floor rollers if you slide it in the position as directed. This will make it easier to slide it and adjust it if needed.

This is how it should be. I'm replacing a failed slide motor on a large room for my Schwintek that is stuck open. Only access is from the exterior. Have to pull seals part and try to pop the motor loose from the gear before I can even push the wall back in a few inches to access from the interior.

Replace the bolts and make sure they are high grade type. then slowly try to slide it out but I would have a helper push from the inside at the same time. There may be something obstructing it from coming out.

Hi, I carried my Gemini Thor RV to Camping World to have my slide looked at diagnosed and repaired. The slide would not go out. They said it needed new slide motor. I said ok replace it. After it was replaced they apparently forced it to open and broke the slide rails. They have waited several weeks now for the slide rails to come in at a cost to me of 900$. The installation is estimated 12 hours. Cost labor 1600$. The motor cost 250$ with 4 hours to replace. Just wanted your comment on this.

Great. Now to diagnose mine. It just stopped working. First, learn how to extend and retract manually in a correct fashion. Then I assume to find the culprit- switch, motor, or controller.

Hey nelson, if you have the same set up, all you need is a socket on a ratchet and attach it to the bolt at the end of the gears. If you are not getting anything at the motor, start with testing the wires at the motor, If you are getting 12 volts its a bad motor. If you get juice than you go to fuses switches .........
