Today I looked at a Motorhome a 2011 Thor. The dealer started it up, turned on the generator and put the slide out. My question is: The slide made a very loud noise as if it was rubbing on somethin...
Our two geared slides (the third is cable drive) make a quiet growling motor noise while in motion. Sometimes a rubber wiper squeaks a little.
When the slide hits the stop (in or out) the clutch will make a clunk-clunk-clunk (or it you prefer: thump-thump-thump) noise as it slips. That is the signal to let go of the switch.
