Slide Issue
We have a 2006 Haulmark Toterhome that is used to haul a race trailer. We have been having problems with the rear slide not running in/out properly. Previously it was the shear pins and replaced those about 6 months ago and now we are having same issue of it not running in/out unassisted. It is a gear type.
This morning I pulled the 12v motor off and inspected all the gears (normal wear and one tiny piece missing maybe 1/16" on motor gear). I did however notice that the bushings on the shaft that connects left and right tracks of slide do appear to be worn and have play. I am trying to get it sorted this week as racing season is over and the bossman uses it for family vacations as well.
It has also been mangling one shear pin in particular. Could this be an alignment issue that is making ot try to pull it in whopperjawed and bending shear pin? Its as if something has it bound up causing clutch to ratchet making it need assistance in and out. I do have it hooked to shore power with good batteries and other slide operates as advertised so unless there is a wiring issue to motor I dont see that causing it. Any help is appreciated!
