I have a 35g, the bedroom would come in fine. When we went to extend the slide out it would start and stop or more like it would hit a snag and go again. I took it to CW and the slide was ok, it was the topper, it had become bent some how. New topper took care of problem.
I will admit I thought they were BS ing me. Not so.
Thanks, I checked the sideout topper and found that it WAS the topper. The arm was loose that the anti-billow arm was connected to and as the slideout was going out the anti-billow arm was hitting the topper bar. I fixed the topper arm and all is good. Thanks for that info it saved me a lot of time getting into the slideout gears and motor looking for the problem.
Mine did the same a few years ago, and since then I always check both my anti-billow arms occasional to be sure it doesn't happened again. With time the topper will stretch and the angle of the arm will change and my hit again. Just something to keep an eye on when making a walk around the coach. Glad it was a simple fix for you.
