okanagan slide out issue
I have a 2007 Okanagan 116 ult. the slide out got stuck out and would only move back and forth about 3 inches. I had a repair tech work on it for 3 hours before he gave up. he determined something was binding in the slide mechanism its self but didn't have any idea how to get to it with our removing the entire slide. I decided to dig into it myself and i was able to get the slide mechanism out buy unbotting it and lifting that side of the slide out about 1-2 in. Log story short the problem ended up being the set pin in the coupler that attaches to the motor had worked its way out and was hitting the bracket and stopping . was able to just tap it back in and glue it in place and get back on the road. hope this might help someone else save time and money.386Views1like0CommentsRe: salvage title
Just a follow up one year from accident. When I went to renew the trucks registration this year DMV told me they were informed by insurance the truck was salvaged so I had to get it inspected and a new salvage title issued. Side note because the truck has a gvwr over 10k lbs. most shops were limited to inspecting vehicles under 10k lbs. I ended up having to go to a big rig repair facility and DMV was really confused by the commercial certificate inspection certificate instead of the normal under 10k lbs certificate. Took me several trips to DMV to get it all in order. As for the camper I was told truck campers fall under jurisdiction of Department of housing and not DMV in California. My camper insurance did renew so they do not consider it a salvage title apparently. I hope no one ever has to go thru this but if you do maybe my experience will help1.4KViews2likes0CommentsRe: salvage title

Also as cargo wouldn't the truck camper be covered by the vehicle policy? its very wishy washy what they will cover for campers. the insurance tried t tel me the tie downs and turn buckles were not necessary so they wouldn't cover them. That's why i had to higher an attorney. i had a letter from torklift telling me they could not be reused and would be about $3,000 to replace what was damaged.There adjusters gave them a $0 dollar value. Even if my insurance were to consider it cargo I am certain they would not cover the $40,000 for the camper, or my rates would be sky high. What ever the correct answers are I am fine with. I just don't like surprises later on.1.4KViews1like0CommentsRe: salvage title

My concern is if I continue to pay for full coverage and need to make a claim will the insurance deny the claim since its already been paid out on once. My insurance and the driver that hit me are the same company. thanks again for everyone's input1.4KViews0likes0Commentssalvage title
Hello, I am hoping someone might have an idea to help my situation. My Okanagan camper was in an accident and the other drivers insurance decided it was a total loss and paid me for it. They paid me less because i decided to keep it. they never gave me anything to sign other then a check. They did tell me they might put a salvage title on it.I live in California. California does not have title/registrations for cab over campers. First question is how would they put a salvage title on something with out a title. They could not answer that question other then just wait to see what happens. My attorney had the same answer. My insurance had not the slightest clue. and Ca DMV has no idea either. second question is my insurance told me they will no longer insure it if gets a salvage title. Anyone know of an insurance company that does insure salvage campers? I have fixed the camper and you can not tell it was ever in an accident. Thank you3.7KViews1like16Comments
