PPL Parts pricing...WOW

I had an issue with my Full Wall Slide. I needed to replace a spur gear. I have been dreading the job but the last time I pulled the slide in I lost another gear on that spur gear. It has 20 teeth & 5 where gone!

I first wanted to be SURE I had the proper gear on order so I climbed underneath & counted the teeth on the spur gear. Once I had all the information on the gear I started calling around...

1st call was PPL parts and was told the part could be ordered & it would be shipped from the manufacturer. I was very happy that the 1st call was successful and ordered the part. The gear was 45.00 and I ordered it.

Now, since the next BIG outing was a week away I decided to order a 2nd gear from another source. I was afraid that PPL would drag their feet.

Of ALL PLACES ordering the part from Fleetwood was only $20.00!!! Yes, $20.00 for the gear and about $5 shipping.

Part arrived within 4 days. I spen about 3 hours installing the gear. Had to have the slide fully in while replacing the gear. Had to drop the fron half of the converter rack so that I could tilt it down & get to the actual gear.

All in all it went VERY well. Not a job for the average DIY type. Had to use a C clamp to get the rollers & other hardware installed.

I'm still waiting for the PPL part, I did see an email Friday stating that it was ready to ship.

Now the slide goes in/out w/o ANY issues. Just need to replace a slide seal.


Never ordered any parts from PPL. Would like to hear other experiences with PPL.

I have a Splindide 2000S thats starting to look like it needs a new hot/cold solenoid manafold. Anybody have a good lead for Splendide parts?



Thanks all
