Troubleshooting Introduction
This troubleshooting chart outlines some common problems, their causes and possible corrective actions.
If any part or serial number information is available, provide it to the service technician when asking for
assistance.
The Through Frame Electric Slide-out System is only one of four interrelated slide-out room system
components. These four components are: chassis, room, coach, and Through Frame Electric Slide-out
System. Each one needs to function correctly with the others or misalignment problems will occur.
Every travel trailer has its own personality and what may work to fix one trailer may not work on another
even if the symptoms appear to be the same.
When something restricts room travel, system performance will be unpredictable. It is very important that
slide tubes be free of contamination and allowed to travel full distance (stroke). Ice or mud buildup during
travel is an example of a type of contamination that can occur.
When you begin to troubleshoot the system, make sure the battery is fully charged, there are no visible
signs of external damage to the system and that all connections are secure.
During troubleshooting, remember that if you change something, that change may affect something else.
Be sure any changes you make will not create a new problem.
