Problems with Rear Slide

<< < (2/2)

Joel Ashley:
Jack said he checked the connections including the batteries.  I'd go with Gerald's suggestion re. the brake, and refer back to the thread in this forum started Sept. 13, 2009 by John Fearnow, entitled "Bedroom Slide", http://forum.bacrallies.com/m-1252886858/s-0/highlight-bedroom+slide/#num0.  

The symptoms, though, as Gerald pointed out, sound very much to me like a binding slide that requires absolute maximum voltage to overcome the bind.  A loose fastener or something causing slightly out of whack alignment could cause the slide to rub somewhere.  I know our bed slide when new rubbed very slightly on the carpet that lines the wardrobe platform next to it, so I had Bend's techs do a micro millimeter repositioning to avoid future problems.  That slide always seems to labor more than the others, so it is no surprise to me that even the slightest impedance might require maximum voltage to push the slide to cycle completion, or to just get it started from dead stop, the point requiring the most momentary power.  Check around or under the bed platform or "end tables" for any area rubbing where it shouldn't, or the entire slide off more to one side than the other.
