Hope y'all have some ideas, because our "warranty" apparently won't cover anything on slide-outs that isn't MAJOR.
Have a 2012 Dutchmen Infinity 3850RL that we bought used (about a year old last July).
On our last two trips (in November, average Texas fall weather one weekend, and pretty doggoned cold, near freezing, the next), the street-side slid that holds the entertainment center, cabinets, stove and refrigerator did not want to retract evenly from front to back. The motor noises sounded stressed, and all movement would just stop with no interference from us. Open up the slide a little, then try closing again and get a little bit further. Finally got it closed almost completely square with the sidewall of the trailer. Bedroom slide had a similar problem on the second November weekend. Both of these slides have sort of tracks at the top and bottom of the slide box that you can see. The curb-side slide does not, which I believe means that we have both electric motor and hydraulic driven slides.
Any suggestions on getting the slides squared up so that they work properly again?
Budget limitations prevent us from letting the local shop (Camping World) work on the Dutchmen at this time. Apparently there's a minimum charge of $175 (per hour) for them to just look at the unit to see if they can find a problem. I know there is a problem, so why can't they try to fix it?
Anyway, Jim and I would appreciate suggestions. Sorry it's a long post - don't know the terminology well enough to abbreviate much of anything!
Thanks, and happy RV-ing!
