  • Our slides are hydraulic, from HWH. We had a pump motor fail. There is a crank for the dinette slide, which we couldn't get to work, and the instructions for the bedroom slide was to open the valves and push the slide in. According to the manual it required a 200 pound steady pressure for 10 minutes. Yeah, right! We drove it to the shop with the slides out--only 5 miles (7 kilometers) down the Alaska Highway.

    You are probably a little further from a shop than that!

    Seriously, to be of real help we do need to know make and preferably model of the slide mechanism or at least whether it is electric or hydraulic.

    Good luck and keep us posted.
  • If you have grease, put some on the tracks, if it has screw drive, put oil on the screws. Good luck mate.
  • Eh! We'll need a bit more info to be able to help. What rig, what type of slide (electric, hydraulic, etc.)

    The general instructions for this kind of thing are: disable the powered system in accordance with the manual instructions and push it in manually. Most have some sort of procedure for this...but it isn't normally easy.

  • Is the motor not trying to run or is the slide jammed?
    If the former and you have a mechanical system you should have a manual crank available somewhere.
    If the latter, figure out what is jamming it.

    If hydraulic, I'll let those folks chime in.
