How Many Worry When Watching Slide-Outs??
Is it just me?? I just expect the things to break every time I push the switches. And it's not just this RV (2016 Keystone Hideout). My old Salem scared me as well.... although it seemed a bit more...

Paid real close attention when we first got our 5rv with 3 slides.
6 months later it was just part of the routine....we were FT and opened/closed them weekly.
7 yrs of FT and only had 3 problems.
1) cracked a box speaker case when it got between slide and wall when opening after a real bumpy trip
2) foam seal on frame where slide met up when closed lost it 'sticky' and feel down allowing lots of dust/dirt inside when traveling. New adhesive fixed it
3) master drive gear broke 2 teeth and would not close on travel day. 2 day shipping and a three sided window in underbelly cover---replaced in 2 hrs.
I think we have out our slides thru the paces......opening/closing weekly/bi-monthly for 7 yrs.

There is an 'auto' resetting DC CB (small box with 2 studs on it) on slide out power wire usually close to battery.
Lots of current thru those-------locate and replace. Slide should open/close with just one push/hold of switch
