SECTION 10 – SLIDEOUT ROOMS AND LEVELING

SLIDEOUT ROOM

Winnebago Towable trailer slideout rooms
operate using an "On/Off" switch for power and
a toggle switch, which controls the movement of
the room in and out.

OPENING THE SLIDEOUT

1. Level the trailer and put stabilizer jacks down.
2. Allow sufficient space for room movement.
3. Check for obstructions on the roof and at the
ends of the slideout room (i.e., open cabinet
doors).
4. Press and hold the lower rocker switch to
open.
5. As the room reaches the wall, stop pressing
the switch.
6. Check the perimeter seal behind the wood
trim. If the perimeter seal is not in contact with
the room, very briefly press the rocker switch
to further open the room until the seal makes
contact.
C AU T I ON
Continuing to press the slideout room
rocker switch will cause the top of the
room to run past the perimeter seal.
Damage to the wood trim around the
slideout room and damage to the
interior walls may occur if the room is
run out beyond the perimeter seal.

CLOSING SLIDEOUTS

1. Clear the roof of any debris (i.e., leaves,
branches, etc.).
2. Check for obstructions inside (i.e., open
doors/drawers, rugs, furniture, etc.).
3. Press and hold the upper rocker switch to
close the room. Block stops have been placed
on the gear rails to stop the slideout room at
the proper closed position.
4. As the gear mechanism begin straining to
close further, remove pressure from the rocker
switch and inspect the outside bulb seal. The
outside bulb seal will be compressed to half its
open thickness when closed properly.

MAINTENANCE
• Keep the battery at full charge. A low battery
will affect slideout room operation.
• At least twice a year, open the slideout room
and inspect the drive rams. Remove any dirt
and grime accumulations. Apply a light
coating of white lithium grease to the drive
rams if needed.
• Check all bolts attaching the rams to the
bottom of the slideout room.
• Spray rubber seals with silicone to maintain
flexibility.
