msgtnobody Report post Posted July 19, 2020 I replaced lower in cable for slide. Prior to removing cable I noticed some cables have more slack then others. I was wondering if that is normal and after replacing cable I took picture of slack. The slide is all the way out now and prior to putting trim back up want to know if I should tighting cable so all have tension?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted July 19, 2020 What direction am I looking? year & make of coach would help, along with # of slides! If the others have the same amount of slack in the same place, I would leave them alone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msgtnobody Report post Posted August 22, 2020 I noticed this plastic block under slide after I opened it. It seems to mount at bottom entrance where slide room enters rv. The bottom edge of slide has a slanted edge also. The block glides the slide over the edge of opening. Im going to try to reinstall it where it came off.

Im going to try to reinstall it where it came off. The plastic block is mounted to allow the slide to easily move up and over the coach floor. With it not in place the possibility of damaging the slide hardware that moves the slide, with it missing the slide might not close; causing other issues. Can you tell how it was fastened in place?

msgtnobody Report post Posted August 22, 2020 It had to holes where it fastened to wood floor. I couldnt find the screws. I used new ones and put it back in. Slide closed but got hung on something when I tried to reopen it. I got it opened and it caught a bolt. See picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) I bet it was with those ubikuis self drilling screws that the industry loves. I would just use a good metal screw, with a little blue (removable) loctite If you can get to the back I would use a machine screw and a nylock nut. Also I wouldn't operate the slide with it off if you can help it.. I think the bolts may be a separate issue. Where in NY?

msgtnobody Report post Posted August 22, 2020 I'm going to clean the area and do a close and open test. I want to try to find a sheet of plastic and patch the area. It seems the bottom of the slide is one big piece of plastic under the wood slide floor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted August 23, 2020 The pictures of the bolt/bottom of the slide look like water damage. I would be looking for where it came in and i would think about drilling some 3/16 holes to let any water that got in to drain out. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
