Slide Out Rollers

[mercerc44]

I did a search and couldn't find what I was looking for. Friend with a DSDP needs a roller replaced. Big slide in front behind driver. Bearings are coming out. 1) Can it be done by us DIY's?? 2)Where do you get the roller ie, dealer or Newmar??

Thanks

mercerc44,

The front and rear rollers carry the weight of the slidout walls and ceiling. The rollers in the middle mostly only carry the weight of the contents of the slide. The slideout floors are very flimsy so the load is by no means transmitted evenly.
Check to see if the slideout floor is broken. If it is the replacement roller will be sloped and most of the weight will be carried by one bearing. (not good)
The dealers can get the rollers but there seem to be different sizes so Newmar should provide the part #s.
If the front roller has broken its bearings the rear roller bearings won't last much longer.
