Intro and some ?'s...
New to the travel trailer world with a purchase of a lightly used '11 31bhpr. I think I've read all 172 pages of postings and have gained some good info from them, thanks! Already doing some mods like led lighting, dual 6v batteries, and other misc items.
My first questions are regarding the main slide out. Underneath the slide is a flat rubber seal that slides along the black, slick floor covering. This seal is ripped on the aft side about 6 inches or so. Is this a common issue and what's the best approach to get replacement seal?
Also regarding the main slide, while retracting, the last foot or so the motor seems VERY labored. You can hear the motor struggling and the slide barely moving. Is this normal? The rear comes in very nicely, albeit smaller and lighter. The house batteries are brand new, fully charged and the trailer is plugged into AC.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hello,
the slide on my 2011 28RLPR sounds the same. It has sounded like that since new. Whether or not it is "suppose" to sound like that, I dont know. It has worked fine for 3 years/4 seasons.
