Slide Fixed

Where Are We Today

Showalter RV

Nappanee In.

This morning at 8:30, there was a knock at the door, they were here to fix our slide. Two and a half hours later it was all back together and operating perfectly.

Inside pulley, the cable is not sitting properly in the pulley


The problem was the cable not riding in the pulley properly and causing it to bind. The pulley system mounting plate was on an angle, thus causing the cable to not ride probably in the pulley.

Can you see the angle that system is on?

To fix this, an aluminum plate was fastened to the wall where the box frame is located and then the pulley system mounted to that. The cables were readjusted and aligned.

Here is the aluminum plate attached to the wall with the pulley system mounted to it.


It was noticed that the other side of the slide was just starting to do the same thing, so a metal plate was put on that side also.

Plate being put on the other side.

So, we are good to go. We decided to spend one more night here and get an early start in the morning.

We are very grateful that the good folks here were able to look after us so quickly.

Thanks for stopping by, until the next time.

  5. Glad they were able to get you back on the road. Our RV's take a heck of a beating on these road we travel on. I'm some what surprised they hold together as good as they do. Safe travels.

    1. Yes unplanned, but the issue was resolved quickly. The manufacturer tech identified the problem but he didn't bring the plates, the dealer supplied those. All's good and we are moving on.
