Many years from now every slide you repaired will be still intact, all by itself. Well done James.

Your channel proves time and again that RV Repair is rarely, if ever, an exact science. Doing it right requires a tremendous work-ethic... and also, bunched-up carpet is another reason to rarely, if ever, use carpet in a coach 😂

I love the room that slide-outs give an RV, but, every time I watch one of these videos of trying to fix one, I want to stay away from them! That said, my next RV will probably have one (or more), but at least now I know what to look for when checking it out prior to buying it. Thanks again!

So it looked like the unsecured edges of the carpet that wasn't removed dorked the slide alignment. Ouch. My RV has came with the vinyl floor from the factory. My 2018 Winnebago has some pretty nice rollers secured to the coach floor that the slide rolls on. Interesting to see how these things are put together. It's a shame there aren't after market adjustable rollers you could use rather than those fixed height carpeted slide blocks. Thanks for doing all the heavy lifting and the excellent video work and narration. I dread the day I have a problem with my full length slide. Motor homes seem to just self destruct every time you look at them sideways.

Being a builder and remodeler I don’t know how you can stand working in such a mess. A clean and neat worksite makes things so much easier and safer. Even more so in a small space.

You're correct. But getting the refrigerator, booths, pantry and everything that was in the cabinets outside is a very big job and would add a substaintial labor cost for very little gain.

Seems like there should be some kind of a roller bearing for under these slideouts. Low profile, single direction. that would relieve a lot of the pressure off the mechanisms.

What you’ve done is very similar to the kitchen slide in my 2014 Keystone Cougar fifth wheel. Have a vinyl flooring and just a rub bar to ride on. Could you have installed the Lippert Rollers in place of the plastics you used? BTW I didn’t get around to installing the rollers this summer so maybe next year. 🤷‍♂️

Great job! Can you tell me how to remove and replace the front slide hydraulic on a 1999 Winnebago, got the back one out , but seems like the front one needs to come out from the outside, maybe support the slide and then remove the support arm to access the hydraulic cylinder?

I know that feeling, way down deep, when it's not about making a buck anymore. I'm gonna bulldog this thing, and pin its ears to the ground if it's the last thing I do. My hat is off to you!

I can't tell if there's enough clearance inside the tube steel, but @13:36 would it be feasible to shim up the nylon in that one slide?

It's a noble effort. It's hard to know which cluster-#$% design feature caused it or how much the slide-out or chassis opening changed shape over time. I assume leaving it as is increases risk of water leak/damage.

Did you do any thing to the right side arm that was not as smooth as the left side?

James you really know what your doing! Also did you get the client to actually sign something that there’s no guarantee on the slide scratching the floor? Thanks for sharing

How hard is it to replace the nylon guides for the slide? I have a 2000 winnebago adventurer and on one side the nylon guide is complete missing and partially missing on the other side. Could I use Jack's to raise the slide and install the new guides?
