Slide motor capacity

[jajones]

I have some heavy stuff to transport and would like to put about 300 pounds under the bed in the rear of the coach. I have no idea what the capacity of the slide motor is or if this might cause an issue with the cogs or rails attached to the slide.
the coach is a 2014 Essex

on my 2002 Mountain Aire...I ran the slide once with my 13 yr old daughter on the bed and thought no big deal...but as I watched the slide move, the bed didn't and yanked out of the bolt mounts to the slide wall. I haven't fixed yet but the bed will still move out because it sits on a pedestal towards the front of the bed as longas no one is on it and I have my hand on the bed in case it hesitates and I'll force it along with wall as it slides out.

I’d suggest you ask Newmar Tech’s that question.

Not sure I would do it. I have read other post where the storage base has separated from the slide itself.

24 bottles of wine - numerous times - no problem

Newmar marketed their slides as super strong where you could move the slides in / out with people sitting in the slides. looking at the structure of my 2002 (yours might be different), 300 lbs won't be an issue at all.
