Its not schwintek!

Since the Schwintek system was purchased and now sold by Lippert and it is a geared system with teeth, it seemed like it was.

Nope, if you read my posts above mine is through the frame. Schwintek is in the wall. They aren't the same. Thanks for trying.

Now I see what I missed. Sorry about that! :D

Sooooo this is what happened!!

I have another thought.....
The reason this happened is the seal on the motor side somehow got stuck to the caulking on the slide, no idea why this would happen! So the motor side was stuck when I attempted to extend the slide not knowing it was stuck but then it broke free and the slide extended out.

So my question..... is it the motor side that jumped 3+ teeth (118.5 showing) when it broke free?
I'm now thinking the motor side is the side I need to adjust (push slide in) to match passive side. More I think about it the more sense it makes.

Passive side is showing 115 teeth.

What do you guys think??

Does the slide sit square in the opening, similar clearance, when looking behind the rubber wipers?

I needed to move my whole slide toward the front of trailer 1/2 inch, to better fit, be closer to same on both sides.

It used to, its not now, that why I am needing to adjust it!

Ok, UPDATE!!
So I brought the slide in and it looks like it is going straight but like I said it is slightly off, so when it is almost all the way in it binds then pops in on the passive side. It goes smooth till that point and doesn't make any noise but it isn't right!

Lippert told me I need disengage the gear pack for that side to realign it. So I guess I need to cut open the underbelly to do this. I also have no idea how far under/inside the underbelly it goes.
Any ideas??

FYI....I counted the teeth showing on both sides. Passive side has 115 showing, other side has 118.5 showing.

My Lippert slide has 2 motors that can get out of sync and the way to synchronize them is to hold the slide switch in until both sides of the slide are fully closed. These 2 motors are at the top of vertical drive screws mounted on the stationary wall on each side of the slide. The vertical drive screws connect to aluminum rails with teeth on each side of the slideout. It would be easy to count the teeth showing on each side. There is also a controller PC board that flashes codes when queried. Mine is nearly unreachable behind kitchen drawers which must be removed to access it. In the 10 years I've had this trailer it has never gotten out of sync but I always hold the slide switch for a couple of seconds after the slide is all the way closed.

Perhaps your Lance is totally different

Thanks for trying to help but I am not talking about the schwintek slide. Also,I don't have a Lance :)
