Slide out problems!! Older 5th wheel

Hi we purchased a 1995 Coachman Catalina 5th wheel 27' RK, that is in good shape for 22 yrs.old. We have an electric slide out the motor is RBW and we have cables 1 of the cables has come loose??? We would like to know how to properly replace the cables on our slide out. I've tried Coachman, etc no one seems to know anything about the manufacturer of our slide out.... Please any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Two young ones, firstimer 5th wheelers.

RBW was bought by AL-KO several years ago Don't how much they will be able to help you.
Manufacturers
I have RBW cable slide for the bedroom slide in my 94 Avion. I do have documentation on the cable slide unfortunately it does not show or explain how the wrap the cable. Tomorrow I can scan what I have and if I have a chance take some pictures of the cable.
You might posting in the Forest River Owners Forum to sed if you get any responds from other Coachman owners.

Here is what I have for the RBW Cable Slide. Markups are from the original 5er owner. Had to do the scan in two files. Tried it in one scan but was over 3 mb, cannot upload any files over 3 mb to iRV.
Attached Files
File Type: pdf RBW Cable Slide Manual.pdf (2.23 MB, 141 views)
File Type: pdf Slide Out Controller.pdf (1.09 MB, 84 views)

I took some pictures of the cable routing on the drum but files size is to large to upload here. Please send me a PM (Private Message) with your email so I can email them to you?
