slide out

Hello
I have a 2016 newmar canyon star. My front large slide out won't come in unless I push from the outside while my wife holds the button. Once it moves about 6 inches it goes the rest of the way on it's own. Thanks for any help. Kenny
  • lubrication or maybe something on the rail or in the gear?
  • If it's run by hydraulics check fluid level and maybe some dry slide spray
  • You may need to reprogram the slide controller or update it with a new model. I was having a similar issue with my kitchen slide in my 2016 BSS. Upgraded the controller to a newer revision and have not had any more issues. The programming process teaches the controller how much energy it needs to move the slide. (My understanding)

    Give Newmar a call and they can walk you through the process.
  • If the slide was working fine and the issue is something new, I'd say that your batteries are weak.
    Do you still have the original batteries? At 5 - 6 years old they may be toast.
