Technical Support / Re: Bedroom slide and brake (Problem Resolved)
« Last post by Rick Vyncke on June 14, 2026, 01:32:31 AM »After struggling to resolve the issue where the motor brake prevented the slide from moving, I removed the new motor from the gear case and reinstalled the original motor. Problem solved!
The original motor was a Klauber that was rated at 10 amps and 9 RPM’s. The replacement Klauber was rated at 20 amps and 16 RPM’s. I brought this to the attention of both eTrailer as well as Lippert technical support and they both assured me it would work. It did not, but given that the original issue was a failed gearbox, I had the ability to switch back to the original motor on the new gearbox.

Air conditioners typically have some mold growth which gets blown out the vents into the coach's interior. Cleaning mold from a RV AC unit might be impossible. I don't know. Look on Amazon for a mold detection kit. There are several there I found.

Technical Support / Deep clean the coach interior
« Last post by George Frudakis on June 13, 2026, 06:26:28 PM »Planning a long trip westward. And stay in my coach for a year while doing business in California. My wife has allergies, and the coach seems to trigger them. Any idea or company that could do a deep cleaning? She sees the brown line on the roof, no leak of any kind, and says there is mold in the coach. I spray the line with flex, and they disappear. Of course, I do not have any reaction to the issue of the coach and would love to have her on my journey.

« Last post by Rick Vyncke on June 12, 2026, 12:18:42 AM »Thank you Steve. Mine also has smaller gauge wire at the switch pigtail. Looks like 14ga vs 12ga to the motor.
My slide switch has a pigtail with a single connector that holds six or eight pins with 14 ha wire to each. How did you get that apart to eliminate the 14ga wire in favor of the 12ga. I hope that’s not a stupid question. That connector looks very small to hold the 12ga.
Thank you again!

There are a couple of different types of top hat hub covers used some have a bracket that bolts under the wheel nuts and has a pair of screws which come in from the side of the top hat to engage the bracket others have a much similar bracket with a stud that stands straight out and the top hat is secured to the stud via fancy nut.
The large top hat covers used on the rear drive axle are not meant to be held on by the the wheel nut decorative caps they should be held in place by the wheel lug nuts.
If you look closely at the top hat cover you will see the holes in the outer collar where the lug nut go through , every second hole is large enough that the wheel nut will pass through but the others should be smaller than the wheel nut so the wheel nut will clamp them in place.
Maybe a picture of your set up can help identify what we are dealing with.
Hope this helps
