My bedroom closet slide out (over the 5th wheel) only seems to want the front end to move out. I cannot see any way to look at the mechanism without removing the entire assembly from the trailer (not sure how to do that either). There are wires leading to the front and rear of the slide out and it has the track front and rear. There is no access from under the bed or any of the storage spaces.

I have not found any manufacturer information for the slide out itself.

Coachman Voltage? Do you mean Dutchman? What model year is it?

Uh, yeah, thanks for the correction. Why do I get that mixed up? Had this thing a while now. Anyway, it is a 2013 model. Absolutely love this thing but this slideout issue is killing me. Any help is appreciated. Probably have to refer it to a shop anyway but I like to know what to expect if it happens on the road.

Hello
Does your bedroom slide have cables on the outside? If so the slide motor is at the top of your slide, in the center. To get to it you will need to remove the trim, you may have a loose cable on one end.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, no is seems to have separate motors on each side. Also, it has decided to start working again... Gremlins.

Sounds like you may have the Swintek system on your rig. There are two motors per slide located in the top corner of the rooms, pull back the rubber wipers at the top corners for access, motor comes out with one screw removed. Amperage can be turned up on the motors if I remember correctly. We had that system on a 2012 Voltage. Good idea but the motors need more power for the large heavy kitchen slides. Only problem we had was water following the bottom track inside!
