Re: Major Issue with Lippert 2X2 electric through frame slideout
Doug, I didn't know about the Lip Sheet until yesterday afternoon when I saw your reply. I spoke with Lippert yesterday morning. However, during our entire conversation, even after they watched the videos they never mentioned the Lip Sheet at all. For them to put out this "Field Fix" bulletin means this was/is a common problem. I'm going to give it a try this afternoon.2.4KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Major Issue with Lippert 2X2 electric through frame slideout
Thanks for all the help and suggestions. I spoke with Lippert today, and even provided them the link with the videos. They suggested that the slide is out of adjustment, and potentially the slide is adjusted too high. According to them this causes the channel to wedge inside the rail and lift off the gear. I don't know about all that. The trailer is a 2015, don't know how the slide would just magically become adjusted too high. I had never attempted to adjust that part. All I have done is align the tracks front and back to ensure they were traveling even after changing the gear. I'm inclined to think dougrainer's tip about the rail being bowed and the flat washer fix maybe the issue. The wear tabs are still intact, although after all this replacing them may be necessary. Dougrainer do you know where I might find this Lip Sheet?2.4KViews0likes0CommentsMajor Issue with Lippert 2X2 electric through frame slideout
Jayco JayFlight 26BHS- Full Slide- Dinette and Living area Hello. On a recent camping trip when we extended our slide we noticed that the rear of the slide was not extending out even with the front. We also noticed a loud popping sound had began when extending and retracting the slide. We managed to get through the trip and get back home. Upon inspecting the system I noticed one of the teeth on the front gear (15 tooth gear) was broke off. I replaced the gear, aligned the slide and was hoping this would fix the issue. OF course that is not my luck. The slide retracts nice and smooth, however, once it gets about a 2 foot from sealing the popping starts. The popping is caused by the inner arm assembly raising up on the gear and then slamming back down. Once this happens the teeth on gear and rail are slipping, which causes the rear of the slide to get misaligned again. This process repeats itself. I have have a couple links showing video of my issue if anyone wouldn't mind taking a look to help diagnose the issue. Front rail assembly- gear pack moving along the track Inner arm assembly being retracted, nearing the end of the track Thank you in advance for your help.6.9KViews0likes11CommentsCentral Florida to Grand Canyon
Hello all. I was looking for a little advice on our next road trip. My family and I are planning our next summer camping trip out west. We pull a 26ft travel trailer. We thought our first trip ever out west we would start with the Grand Canyon and the surrounding areas. We have about 5 weeks to explore, but that includes the drive out there and back to Florida. I know the Grand Canyon does not take that long to see. Can anyone recommend other areas to visit during the road trip out, and other interesting places to visit in the Southwest area? Thank you in advance for your help.3.3KViews0likes19Comments
