RV Repair: slidouts, big apple circus, adjustment screws


Question
what is the cause and remedy for slide outs binding.
i am a handyman of sorts currently working on the big apple circus. i have been
asked to help some of the artists with there slide out problems. all the slide
outs are electric, and all of them bind to some degree or another.especally to
close, and yes i checked the battery's and they are in great shape (some new).

Answer
J-P, There are several different slide out systems that are used these days. Each one has a different way to adjust but it sounds to me like this is what you are going to need to do for the others. Some of them are electric but are also hydraulic. If you look under the slides at the point they attach to the drives you should see adjustment screws. One thing to remember is to make small adjustments and run in and out to let the slide to reset. Things don't always go the way they look when you are under them so go small and work from there. Any more help you need ask and I will do what I can for you. Thanks, Bill
