I have a 2007 TERRA 33 foot with two slides. Large one for the living and dinning and a small for the bed room. Both have been working great until about a week ago when the small slide started to juke as I put it out. I know the mechanism to push it out is under the bed. It seems to bind on the top. The slide comes in ok but gives trouble going out. Any help out there we are on a trip with the grandkids.

Thank for any help you can offer

I have a '08 33L, just checked my rear slide

You should have an access panel under the bed, about 12" square. screws in each corner hidden in the carpet (a bit hard to find). The panel gives you very limited access to the mechanism and only when the slide is retracted (closed)

You may be able to quick get a glimpse of what is going on when you extend the slide. But the panel is so small as you extend the slide you lose visibility of the mechanism.

I see no other ways to access any tracks or lube points..

Frankly, I'm a bit puzzled how this panel actually functions due to its small size

Please respond when you determine what the problem and solution is...

The small bedroom slide is typically driven by just one gear track in the center. If the slide jukes to one side going out, that side must be binding on something. Maybe one of the seals has torn loose or something caught under it or at one edge.

I believe I have found my problem. It seems that the roller for the cover over the slide out has failed and locks up as I put the slide out. I just have to find a new cover and roller and install. Better than I thought it would be.

Thanks for the help that was offered.
