Re: 6 Point lippert but still shakes
I have lippert 6-pt system on my Chaparral 360IBL and it still shook, enough so that I installed JT Strong Arms on the front landing gear. Can't say enough how much the JT's improved comfort by almost entirely eliminating shake in the RV when people move about.218Views0likes0CommentsRe: Whats Your Real Weights? Truck and Trailer.

Since I posted my question I too came across the manual for the floor slide system. I completely understand what the stop can was, but didn't know "how" it affected the slide out system. Your explanation makes sense and helps shed some light on what I need to do to try and correct the issue - THANK YOU. 2112 wrote: Look under the slide while extended out. If your slide is like mine you will see a cylindrical 'bell' and jam nut threaded onto a shaft about 2 feet from the outside of the slide. The shaft runs through the 'bell'. This is the stop adjustment. The end of the 'bell' will come into contact with the side plate when closed. On mine the 'bell' was too far out causing the slide to slide in farther than it should. I loosened the jam nut and rotated the bell in towards the camper to stop it sooner. Adjust it too much and the outside seal will not seal properly. I made 2 turn adjustments in until it worked properly. I also put a witness mark on the 'bell' with a sharpie marker so I could keep track of how many turns I made. I'll try to find time to post a photo of the adjustment 'bell'. I hope this helps On Edit: Look at page 11 of ***Link Removed*** The 'Bell' is called a Stop Can. Adjust the Stop Can towards the frame to stop the slide sooner. Check your outside seal to assure it's still making contact after adjusting.327Views0likes0CommentsRe: Holiday Rambler 5th Wheel Slide Out Problem
My slide has this exact issue, which I solve by manually cranking a couple turns and then the motor will extend the slide (kitchen slide on 360IBL). Can you elaborate on what adjustment(s) you had to make so the slide operated correctly? Doesn't seem like a motor issue. Thank you in advance. 2112 wrote: My KZ kitchen slide would not slide out. It made the ratchet sound, sounding like a machine gun. I could manually move it out less than an inch and then it would extend via the motor. The dealer said it was under adjusted causing a rail to bottom out and become stuck. He shown me how to make the adjustment and no more issues. Does yours make the ratchet sound like when it's fully closed and you continue to hold the switch? Can you move the slide out a little with the manual tool and then it operates properly?328Views0likes0Comments
