Stuck in the bush . Slide out will not come in on RH side
Hi. Away camping in North Queensland and our RH slide out will not budge ? Any one have any ideas
Forum Discussion
There are 3 kinds of slides that I have seen and in theory should be a 4th
Cable cars: I'm big enough to just manually PUSH the dang slide in
Rack and Pinion (Such as Power Gear) There are several failure modes.
ASSUMING no pins are sheared you can release the brake on the motor and using a 3/4": Wrench on the nut that SHOULD BE (but is not on my coach) on the end of the shaft (usually right end) pull it in.. Or just flat push as I do.
Hydraulic.. There should be a manual override valve, or if all else fails disconnect hoses and push.
In all 3 cases you need to secure the slide so it does not come out on the road.
The 4th kind would be a screw drive, this one will have a manual crank hole as well, get cranky.. I've never seen one but the logic is there.
