Did the storm nearly two years ago crush or deform you sideout?How do you get food and other supplies?

Contact Good Sams by phone and explain your situation. As a Life member, I am sure that they can offer some assistance in locating help. Their number is 866/205-7451This RV dealer is only 35 miles away and I would think that they could send someone out. Mashburn RV, Jonesboro, AR

Are you in a campground? If so....doesn't office staff have a business card for RV repairs?Give 'Dependable RV Repair' a call...they are just soutwest (501) 729-5115Or call 'Moix RV' (501) 327-2255If they can't help they should know of someone who can.You just need to be more pro-active in finding help.Unless you are parked somewhere all alone.....ask your neighbors, other folks for help.Call up a handyman.have him crawl under rig.

2 years ago?, why have you waited so long, your claim could be closed by now, your insurance company should have arrange for towing as well, better make sure your claim is still up..

get the roadside assistance, and then call it in. they will tow it for you.

108" is the max width allowed on an interstate highway without a permit. Maybe the slide was only out a few inches. Or it was an Outback.

Now you hit the nail right on the head. I was not on an interstate. I took every long around road I could.

We just did a trip through Arkansas. That's a shame.

Popeye, you're still fighting that issue? Did you find a new park after being kicked out of the national park? Are the state parks still open?

I see nothing wrong with driving with the slide out. I had the problem a number of years ago. Bedroom slide would not go in. I drove right down through Cheyenne, WY. and about half way back too Texas before I found some one who knew how to get it in. Didn't have a bit of trouble. Of course I didn't pass any one, and moved over when I was meeting a car or some one needed to pass me. I even put some braces in there so it wouldn't fall out.

Ever think of calling the factory TECH SUPPORT????

For starters, look at this web site. . . not that they'd come out to fix it but they could give you some recommendations of a mobile service. There are a couple in Jonesboro and in Searcy.

RV Service Reviews

Let's not be too quick to judge the 2-year bit. If he/she was parked somewhere and living in it for 2 years with the slide open or had left it parked and just returned to it then quite possibly it was just discovered that the slide won't come in.

Hopefully the poster will return soon and let us know more details...
