Re: slow moving slides
I have a 05 Minnie 29b with kwikee slides. Changed front slide actuator and motor because screw was bent. Still slow and a little noisy when it gets 3/4 out. Slide room is centered and all slide pads are ok. Bedroom slide is much better than sofa slide. They say to run truck engine when moving slides. I do not notice much difference with engine on or off.447Views0likes0CommentsRe: Class C, purchase
I had a Winnebago 24' rear corner bed. Nice for parking lots and still had room in living area. Just moved up to a 2005 Winnebago 29' and love the slide out rear bed. So much nicer than getting out of the old corner bed. Also new rv has slideout sofa in front. The extra 5 feet is not that much difference, but would not want anything longer.384Views0likes0CommentsRe: Slide motor making clicking sound
Well after getting right actuator. First one was for the rear slide. I installed the new front actuator and seems like the motor and actuator for this sofa slide is laboring to move in and out. Underneath the front of sofa has about a 8" long glides on both ends in front. There are no other glides near back of sofa, the metal just slides on carpet. Bought some slide out dry lube and cleaned up bottom of slide. Also put slide out thetford seal conditioner on seals.It is adjusted horizontal same gap on both sides near seals. Adjusted vertical to move slide up and down a little and still sounds like it is laboring. It moves in and out without any binding just a little noisy. Will look at it again in spring - I think it should of had rear glides under couch to slide on carpet like the rear bedroom slide has. This is a 2005 with 9,000 miles on it and I am 3rd owner. I think this had a problem from 1st owner.515Views0likes0CommentsOverhead Entertainment Area Winnebago 29b - materials
I am in the process of installing tv mount in entertainment area above cab area on my Winnebago Minnie 29b. When looking for a place to mount articulating arm. I noticed Winnebago never finished off the area behind cabinets of the overhang with anything. You can see the back of the fiberglass front and is very cold in there. Looking to put something up there that looks good and to make it not so cold. Looking for something like the ozite carpet or the all fiberglass luan type board that could flex around the bend. It is roughly 96" long and 34" wide1.6KViews0likes3CommentsRe: Slide motor making clicking sound
I have the same problem on my 2005 Minnie 329 front sofa slide. My slide actuator has same sound and motor wobble. The actuator has a acme screw that must get bent very easy. It is mounted in the slideout arm that supports slide with sofa. I called lippert and they want $1,500.00 for slide actuator with motor attached. It was made by Kwikee/Powergear which was bought out by Lippert I think. powergear / kwikee part # 1820106 and lippert part # 384235 - Very expensive compared to other actuators they sell. I am thinking about taking motor off actuator and trying to straighten acme screw which is slightly bent in arbor press with v-blocks. I have it out and getting ready to take motor off.515Views0likes0Comments
