Newmar Mountain Aire slide out problem
I have a 2003 Mountain Aire by Newmar, LOVE IT!! BUT, I opened the slide out in LVRM and one of the arms was NOT completely down when it was going out so a crunching noise and I stopped it immediate...

Depending on the bang, on a Newmar when you BEND the manual lock arms, if not totally straight and free will catch on the opening when extending and will BANG when the lock arm pops in place.
1. When you jam a Newmar slide system like you did, you got the room out of alignment. Unless you or someone you know has done this adjustment, I would leave it to a Newmar qualified shop. WE are Newmar experienced and charge 1 hour labor($140) to align Newmar rooms. It is NOT as easy as the Video's show if you can still find them. Newmar has a Patented Slide Motor/Transmission system and is NOT adjusted like other electric slide gear systems. You have to break the Trans torque bushings loose from the motor and driveshaft to then align the room. Take the Lock arms loose and straighten on a bench with a vise. You must get them totally straight and when removed will see how they fold up together to not bind. Doug
