Slide out failure.

[-Gramps-]

I just got back from the FMCA GEAR rally in Richmond VA. Yesterday was a scorcher so a group of us moved from the parking lot to the Carni-Camp ground where we had full hookups with 30 amp service. There was a new 08 Destination parked behind us on the parking lot so I knocked on his door and suggested he move as well. He invited me in and showed me his torqued out living room slide..left side out, right side in. To make a long story short I disconnected the power to the Power Gear motors...released the breaks and two of us using 3/4 inch sockets evened out the slideout and then cranked it in. The owner then moved his coach over to the full hook up site. This morning he drove it over to the Richmond Winnie dealer for repair. I am interested to see how this turns out for him. I test drove a UFO Destination while at the rally. What an awesome Chassis! I have to get one and soon.

You are a real good neighbor to help him out. We really hear about very few slide problems. Hopefully it's something simple.
