problem w/ slide

I can't get the slide in. The Motor works but it knocks loudly. From what I can tell,the gear in the box that the hand crank goes to is slipping. It also won't crank manually..How hard is it to remove the box and might it be fixed or will It have to be replaced? this is my first time on here and I'm looking foward to speaking with everyone
  • Sounds like the reduction gear is broken. The best thing to do is to replace the drive motor. You may be able to crawl under and turn the rod manually but it won't be easy, at least the slide will be in.
  • If anyone has an idea,i would be indebted.The slide leaks like a sieve along the inside edge and I cant get to it to seal it except from the inside.
  • You posted in wrong discussion area. This one is about Post forum related questions, test posts and requests for assistance here - signatures, profile, search & pictures. Will ask Mod to move it.
  • it's an older Jayco fifth wheel Eagle series its electric and I climbed under and my wife ran the motor. I could hear it jumping in that one smaller gearbox
  • Need more info.!!! Make and model of coach. Is it a hydraulic or electric? Gear driven? HWH???? How much of a search have you done?
