Tiffin slide malfunction

...Unless it is under some kind of warranty and you HAVE to go through Tiffin for support on this....I'd start calling around, try and find someone else that might could get to this sooner. Maybe someone local, possibly a mobile RV repair shop?

Failing that, I'd just make due with it without opening that one slideout until May. Not sure what else you could do...

1. Tiffin warranties their slides for 2 years. That is an unwritten rule.
2. Your Motorhome is now 10 years old and 7 years past the last warranty repair.
3. Tiffin may repair under warranty, but they will require you to make an appt at Red Bay. I don't know if Tiffin's west coast warranty center will do this type work.
4. Tiffin uses about 6 different slide mechanisms. So, you need to be MORE specific about which system you have. SCHWINTEK? Hydraulic(HWH), POWERGEAR(12 volt Motor). EACH mechanism has different parameters. Doug(Tiffin Dealer service tech)

To clarify - this is a SCHWINTEK slide. Also, I did contact a local RV Dealer and was told they won't work on a Tiffin slide. Suggested I seek out another Tiffin Dealer.

Please explain difficulty getting in and out. Does it stall? Does it jerk? Does it not track evenly and then stalls or stops? Does it make any abnormal noise? Have you "reclocked(timed)" the motors by hitting retract and when fully retracted hold the button for 15 to 20 seconds? Same procedure if it will fully extend, hold the button for 15 to 20 seconds after full extension. Doug

You do NOT have to go thru a Tiffin dealer. ANY Service Center worth anything can work on a Schwintek slide. Your problem may be as simple as needing 2 new motors. This link to Vroom in Arizona is for a complete replacement of a better slide system for the Schwintek. Around $2700. A LOT of Tiffin owners have gone this route due to their problems with Tiffin Schwintek slides. If I had a 10 year old Tiffin, and it is not a less than $500 repair, I would have the Vroom system installed. Doug
