Dustin we have a 2018 sunset trail too. Over the last year or so the slide hops going in and out and I’ve used wd40 specialist dry lube to lubricate the friction bar. It worked well for a while but still requires lube every time we move the slide. Now I’m noticing the Darco material fraying on the ends so now I’m thinking it’s time to install these rollers. Have you installed these rollers on your sunset trail and which rollers did you use? Also, do you guys know what I could seal the darco with to keep water out of the plywood floor? I wondered while watching this video that you can see the plywood floor since this customers darco was so worn off. Installing rollers but never sealing up the bottom aren’t you going to end up with a rotten floor and have to do major repairs down the road? I was looking at flex seal paste to coat the frayed darco. But would love your opinions!

The crazy part about all of this is it wouldn’t cost a whole lot of money or taking much time at the manufacturing level to put a full length roller along the bottom of the slide out. I think it’s a perfect fix.

Great work! Would you recommend this modification as preventative maintenance? I have 3 cable slide outs on my 2024 Forest River Vibe 34xl. Everything works good now since it's new but I try to do anything I can to prevent future issues. Thanks for the content!

I like the idea of the extra room, the final Product is a disaster and a repair bill waiting to happen if you’re close enough and lucky enough to somewhere they can repair it. I have the Schwinn tech system and because of how poorly and overstressed in the way that it is designed and engineered it keeps me from using my RV in fear of it breaking. If I had to do over again I would not get a slide out regardless of the manufacture, your experiences may be different but it’s not worth the chance you take for me to do it again. as long as RVs are out there The repair people have plenty to do..

it should as the roller should lift the slide up slightly more, if it's tilting then the cables are misadjusted.

Absolute genius. I’d guess the plastic “guides” wear down with that heavy slide on it. The rollers are far better to carry the weight. Probably not worth welding the rollers to the frame.

Given enough time, do uou think the bottom will deform and start dragging again?

It would appear that common sense is pretty much in short supply with some of these designs. There's a huge difference between working fine on paper and actually working in the real world which gets overlooked far to ofter, Another great work around that was well thought out and executed.

Nice job re-engineering these slides. And good of the owner to leave you a granola snack under the second slide!

Only concern is how the bottom of that slide will hold up against those rollers. As Glen suggested, using a thin nylon/plastic guide for the roller to run on would be ideal, but adds another layer of complexity to the repair. Your fix sure makes the motor sound more normal and is WAY better than the OEM design. Owner just needs to keep things lubed and watch for wear.

I'd do one more thing to finish the job.....seems it wasn't till 2020 or so manufacturers finally figured out a simple $3 drip edge piece of metal (or plastic) would be nice to put on each end of the slide- remove the trim piece on each end and slide the 90 degree piece of flashing under the slide wall and attach the bottom part to the slide floor with some short screws, then cover with darco tape. Alternatively you can use 4" black eternabond instead, wrapped around. Solves the age old problem of floor rot that starts at the edges and works its way in because when it rains the water runs down the wall and hangs out on the underside due to surface tension!

The wood flooring you drilled lag bolts to support rollers does not exist on my 1/2 ton fifth wheel. The flooring above the tubing is no more than 1/8 inch thick. I'm going to use cross bolts(plus rivets) to attach rollers to tubing.
