Slide out goes out but struggles and won't come in

The engineering of slide outs makes it easier to put it out than bring it back in.

If that battery is ok, then I would next consider the slide track. Make sure its lubricated by using a dry slide out lubricate . Do not use a wet lube like WD-40 because it attracts dirt and will make things worse the day after tomorrow.
'Protect All dry slide lube' , makes one , avl. at Camping world or Amazon. about $18-20.00

After you lube it, see if its easier to bring it back in. If it is, then then you have an alignment issue. The metal tracks can be adjusted.

Then your options are ...go to an Rv mechanic or google 'how to adjust the alignment of an RV slide out' . There are many youtube instructional videos on how to do it using various types and mfg.'s.

I did lube the slide rails but no difference. I'm thinking it could possibly be an electrical connection issue at motor or inverter. I will be checking them too to eliminate that and double check the alignment.

thanks

Good luck, hope this info helps,
Bob

Power could still be the issue. Check all connections.

Are your slides the cabled kind? Our slides have 2 cables on each side, top and bottom. The kitchen slide groaned and slowed down for maybe 5-6 times and finally a cable snapped. The cable had been unraveling for some time. We ended up ordering the cables on Amazon and hubby repaired it. They were around $23.00 each.....sooooo much cheaper than a repair shop.
