Not Such a Good First Day

Where Are We Today


Walmart Parking Lot

Marion Indiana

We left CanAm RV at 7:45 a.m. this morning and crossed the border at Sarnia/Port Huron just before 9:00 a.m. We headed east and then south on I-69 arriving here around 2:45. When we went to open the bedroom slide, it would only go out about 6 inches and then stop. After trying what ever I could think of, I have left it in and we will have to deal with it in the morning.

 There is a service center at DRV Mobilesuites where it was made, 2 hours north of us, so they will be called first thing in the morning to see what the chances are of getting in there to get it fixed. If the wait is to long, a call will be made to CanAm, letting them we are on the way back to them to get it fixed.

That’s all I’m going to say about it for now. Read Pat’s posts to keep informed.

Thanks for checking in, until the next time.

  6. We had trouble with a slide that wouldn't go out. The teck stated that it got out sync/time. He show me there was a reset/reboot on the control panel which was in the storage bay. There was a place where you would push like a paper clip into the panel for it to reset. It has worked ever since. Just an FYI

    1. Thanks, there is no reset/reboot for this. This is a cable adjustment issue that was fixed last week. Will try to get in a repair shop tomorrow.

  8. I have been a blurker of yours and Pat’s for a long time but have never commented. We had a DRV in 2006-2010. Just read of your troubles. Try Indiana Interstate Enterprises 1690 E 025 N La Grange 260 453 8100. (South of the DRV plant) Paul Cross, the owner, used to work at DRV and does service for them as well as privately. He was our “go to” guy. He is a good guy, knows the product and hopefully can help you. Andy at Can Am may already know of him. I hope it works out for you.+

  11. Brenda S ‘s suggestion is certainly worthy of a try- experienced with your rv model plus on your way. Sure. Disappointing but may well be an opportunity to meet a specialist- all the best.
