I'm a big guy and while I consider a B OK for a weekend, I couldn't handle it for months at a time. Re: Crunching numbers for potential new TOAD ? Re: Schwintek slide jammed - shifted back The video doesn't address one side of the slide not moving at all. I noticed when I was out looking at the slide (in disgust) the other day, that my RV isn't level (it's in storage). It is tipped toward the rear quite a bit. Next warm day, I'm going to kneel down the front end and hopefully that will unload the rear of the slide where it's jammed. Will let you know when I try it. Re: Crunching numbers for potential new TOAD Jeep is a tiny vehicle. The two time I've ridden in one, I had my legs spread and knees wedged against the dashboard. Yes, the seat was all the way back. Don't forget to count the weight of the dash ducks you'll collect. Re: Schwintek slide jammed - shifted back I called Lippert and they gave me links to the manuals but I already have them. We agreed that I needed to talk to tech support. Re: Schwintek slide jammed - shifted back I use the override on the bedroom slide. There's a broken wire in the cable somewhere - I have a new cable but the LR slide is the priority at the moment. I suppose I could try unlocking the motors and pushing in spite of the fact that I can hear the motor whirrrring for a second when I try to extend the slide. I don't see anything in the manual about electronically unlocking the motors - just how to physically disconnect the motors from the drive shaft. Re: Schwintek slide jammed - shifted back When I said "move the slide" in my original post, I meant move it forward, not move it out (but that would be good too :) Schwintek slide jammed - shifted back My living room slide won't go out. I used to be able to give it a shove to start it moving, but that doesn't work anymore. Both motors are working (I can hear them both) but the rear part of the slide doesn't move (front does). Given that it's in means that I can't get at the motor and drive system. I was going to unscrew the vertical piece that holds the motor, etc. but the screws are covered by the outer trim. There is plenty of space to get at the front screws. Looks like the slide has shifted back by about half an inch. I think this is the reason why the rear of the slide doesn't move. I think I have to push the slide forward and then it will probably work. If not, at least I'll have access to the screws to remove the mechanism. My question is this: if I manage to get a pry bar between the wall and the slide, will that be sufficient to move the slide? Do I have to jack up the slide to get it off the rollers at the bottom? I think I can get the furniture out of the slide (living room) to lighten the load. Any other suggestions? Norcold 1210 with replacement cooling unit propane blows out on the road Fridge stopped working last year. Replaced the cooling unit with the unit from JC Refrigeration. It works fine on both electricity and propane but on propane for rolling down the road it stops working. Once stopped, power off/on gets it working fine again. Blows out?? Any ideas why it stops working? Yes, I know the propane hose is disconnected in the photo - I replaced it because it was cracked and leaking. Re: Quick connect exterior shower hose doesn't connect. Before I saw these replies I decided I needed to make up a method. So I took the hose to my shop and ran my Dremel sanding disk all over the brass part. That came out looking a bit rough so I got a strip of emery paper and went after the rough bits by rubbing the strip over the brass. It looked pretty good but I decided to put a daub of o-ring grease on the thing. I won't say it was easy but the connector plugged in. There was no leakage. It came out much more easily. So my RV is winterized for the first time since the start of the pandemic. Thanks for your help.
