Recently, we accidentally stepped on our slide out when it was in the retracted position, causing the floor to separate from the wall. We have been managing this issue, until we could get to the Memphis area, where we have a trusted RV technician, who will help us to get it fixed.
After about eight moves, we noticed that both slide skis were also damaged, so we have those parts delivered to our campground, ready for the technician to replace. Chris of Town & Country Mobile RV does a great job explaining how the damage occurred and gives a step-by-step review of how he makes the necessary repairs. If you’ve never turned your needle valves to make one slide stay retracted, you’ll want to watch, as Kevin shows how that process is done.
If you’d like to have repairs made by Chris or any of the other qualified technicians we used, please contact:

@@PavingNewPaths Our Newmar Baystar has a similar system on the front slide, but it supports the floor with 5 rollers spaced out across the width of the slide on the front edge. We step in and out of the slide all the time, without any issues. However, the rollers do leave an indentation in the vinyl flooring, so that's a negative.

Quick tips, if your floor drop again keep in mind addind wood in your aluminum tubing, the 3'' screws that you add will probably get loose again they are holding by 1/16 at the bottom of the tube and 1/16 at the top of the tube, it is not like you screw in a peace of 1'' 1/2 of wood in you aluminum framing slide. When you do that you take off the caping around your slide inside and you will see you aluminum tubing at the bottom of your slide.

Seems to me (ie: Overkill-Mark), you could mix up slow set epoxy, inject it into the face of the MDF floor and compress overnight.

Seems like 18 month too fix your slides each time is way too soon , but if it has too done so be it but I'll cross my fingers for you it's not that soon 🤞

He says these wear out with increased usage! I would be willing to bed my slides have been in and out over 200 times in the last 18 months! We use our RV more in one year than most will the entire time they own it!

We have lived and traveled in ours for 3 years now! This problem was not caused by fulltime use, you could be on vacation and make the mistake of stepping on the slide and damaging it!

Have you looked into the aluminum slide skis?

@PavingNewPaths Жыл бұрын
We have done some reading on them but I have not gotten any confirmed positive feedback that they will stop the issues forever, just that some people have switched to them, but none have had them long enough to say if they will last any longer than the plastic ski's! Have you switched? If so how long have you had them on?

@@PavingNewPaths We have them on our bedroom slide (had to replace the floor in that slide...our rv has no slide skis at all) and on our kitchen slide out. Less than a year on both so we have no concrete proof they are any better.

Well any ski will be better than not having one at all! We have almost just decided that the amount we use the RV we will just plan on replacing them every 18 months!

It was about $500 but just depends on the scope of the job, parts needed and the time it takes to complete.

@@PavingNewPaths oh yeah, I understand. I am glad you asked him if this was a brand specific or just a normal thing. Really sets expectations that you better start looking at these over 18 months or so, depending on your usage. Just one more thing to add to your checklist.
