Hart2Harts Posts 9	Has anyone adjusted there own slideouts with much luck? I have a 2008 Fleetwood Bounder Diesel 38F with three slideouts. The slideout for the kitchen has a roller that contacts the vinyl flooring while moving in and out and puts a crease in the floor. I've had it back to the dealer with no luck. They replaced the floor after the roller eventually made a hole in the vinyl but they say they can't adjust the slideout any more. I've called the Fleetood fatory and they have been in touch with my dealer but neither can come up with the proper solution. I can't drive to Indiana just yet. The roller can't be adjusted without removing the slideout from the coach. Any suggestions? I can do most maintenance on the coach but not sure about this. -- Denny

Make any adjustments very minumal (1/4") at a time and operate room to see if it improved the situation. If it did not improve then return to previous setting, do not continue to make more adjustments. Some slide adjustments will need special tools and jacks so be sure you have everything you need to do the adjustments safely.

Steve from Lauderdale Posts 7	How about lubricating the gears/rail of the slideouts?

Steve Roddy Lazydays Employee Posts 647	It is important to keep the gears clean. Do not use grease for lubrication. One of the most important items to lubricate is the bottom of the room. If the bottom of the room is dirty it creates a lot of friction and resistance when the room is moving. Also lubricate the rollers or glide strips that will be behind the lower slide seals. The gears that you can see do not create a lot of heat or friction unless they are dirty. If you use grease it will build up on the small drive gear.
