    • Harnesses to connect the rocker switch or touch-pad and motors to controller. • Floor rollers (not supplied by Lippert) that support the slide-out's weight while extending and retracting the slide-out. Only floor rollers approved by Lippert can be used with the system. Contact Lippert for recommended rollers.

  • Page 5: In-Wall Slide-Out Chassis Specification

    In-Wall Slide-out Chassis Specification Slide-Out Configurations This section will show Lippert In-Wall slide system setups. In-Wall Slide-Outs For laminate trailers with rollers mounted to the floor (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2), one standard outrigger is to be placed at the beginning and end of each slide room opening. A minimum of two slide outriggers will be required under each slide room.

  • Page 6: Recommended Wall Construction Or Equivalent

    Add an additional slide outrigger for every 36" thereafter. NOTE: For stick and tin trailers, Lippert recommends that the header and footer mirror each other in size if mounting rollers on the sidewall. Please reference the supplier's span table for header size and length.

    Fifth Wheel Lippert In-Wall The room opening in (Fig. 5) will be the same except for using 1" x 5" .070" (25.4mm x 127mm 1.78mm) aluminum for the header and 1" x 3" .070" for the vertical uprights. Header should extend 2' (61cm) beyond the room opening.

  • Page 8: Upper Deck Slide Room Opening

    Upper Deck Slide Room Opening If a fifth wheel has a Lippert In-Wall slide opening in the upper deck area, the bottom cross tube should be equal to, or longer than, the header tube. If additional height is needed, the manufacturer will need to add another cross tube that is .060"...

    "Upper Deck Slide Room Opening" section. This piece is typically removed when installing the Lippert In-Wall slide, depending on how the side wall sets in relation to the floor (Fig. 7). When the bottom support tube is left in place, it is because wall openings may fall into a wheel well area that sets higher than the floor (Fig.

    Backers are to be incorporated into slide room construction, positioned where the In-Wall gear racks will be mounted. Lippert recommends the backers be a 1" x 3" .060" (25.4mm x 76.2mm 1.5mm) aluminum that is wood stuffed. See diagram (Fig. 9) of slide room with backers. The backers do not need to be stuffed with wood if the aluminum wall thickness being used is at least .125".

    NOTE: Even spacing between the gear rack arms and the location of the end brackets is critical for proper operation of the slide-out. Drill fixtures are reusable from system to system. Drill fixtures are not supplied with the system and must be purchased from Lippert to aid in assembly and reduce installation time.
  • Page 13 NOTE: It is recommended that aluminum or hard plastic wear strips be placed between the floor rollers and the bottom of the slide room floor to prevent the weight of the room from creating drag points on soft surfaces of the underside of the room. NOTE: If the slide-out is not completely supported by the floor rollers, you will hear a slight "popping"...

    Using Locator Brackets Retain shipping straps on slide mechanism (Fig. 16). If system has the reusable installation locator brackets installed (Fig. 16), proceed with installation. If not, then snap on brackets to the lower gear rack where the shipping straps are attached to the end brackets. Fig.

  • Page 15: Slide Mechanism

    T-molding, NOTE: For sealing the screws used to attach end brackets on the ends of the gear rack arms, Lippert recommends RTV Silicone, rubber gaskets or closed cell foam gaskets. Do NOT use any type of sealant putty as this can intrude into the mechanism and possibly cause the system to malfunction.

    Auto-Program Motorized or Towable Controller For major faults, the auto-program controller will automatically enter "Emergency Jog" mode when motor movement is not detected by the controller, in either direction, during slide-out activation. When in Emergency Jog mode, the controller will jog both motors in the direction the switch is pressed (IN or OUT). The switch may need to be pressed multiple times to fully retract or extend the slide-out.
