Slide out keeps getting stuck!

We are dealing with an ongoing problem with our slide on our 2006 32' Georgie Boy Pursuit. The RV has been in the shop 5 times in the past 5 months. The slide out will either not open or not close. At times the motor is running on the slide but not engaging. The shop has replaced the "PIN" three times and then used a bolt in its place. They say they open and close the slide numerous times with no problem, but it does not function properly when we try in our driveway. This last time it went out without a problem but will not retract. We have always used the Big Foot leveling system prior to sliding out to be sure the rig is level. The owner of the RV repair shop told us that may be part of the problem, that doing that prior to sliding out may cause something to "bind" and break the pin. Anyone had this problem or know if he's just blowing smoke at us? He has "guaranteed" the issue will be resolved and, of course, will do it for no charge. I'm very skeptical but DH is willing to give him one more shot.

  • If the problem is exclusive to your driveway I would suspect the slide is binding. If so, this could be caused by leveling the coach before operating the slide.

    Just a thought.
  • Well........have you tried the slide out prior to extended Big Foot in your driveway?

    When you picked MH up.....did you operate the slide out at the RV Shop?

    Is slide out 'spaced' evenly in opening....same clearance top/sides etc?

    Does it go in/out evenly?
  • Check your owners manual for the manufacturers procedure for extending the slide. On our Monaco we are to extend the slide before we level the MH.
