RV Slide

[Dondod]

I have a 2004 Monaco Windsor 40' with two slides. When I retract the large living room slide it seems like it's not going to go in and then it starts to retract slowly and goes all the way in. I am concerned that one day it won't go in. Is this normal? If I need to replace the motor, where can I find one and do they make a stronger motor? What's the gear ratio and is this a job for a DIY or should I have a shop do it? Does anyone have any info on this?
Thanks.

Don,
My front left slide reacts much the same. I'm thinking it's normal and geared very low because of it's weight. Maybe there's another 2004 Windsor owner out there that can chime in.

My 2002 does about the same thing.

You might be able to get a part number off the current motor, there is usually a sticker on it. Check the wiring harness to make sure it is tight.

Not hard to change, I think there are ~4 bolts that holds it on. Probably a 1 of 5 on the scale of difficulty.

If you can't find a part number you may call Veurinks in Michigan and ask them for the part and cost, they should be able to source one. https://www.veurinksrv.com/
I left a small rug in front of my kitchen slide and caused the motor to fail and called Veurinks, the got me the part and had it shipped to my wifes friends house and her friends husband put it on.

About 9 months later I took the old motor apart and checked it out and put it back together and it worked, my guess is one of the bushes hung and wasn't making contact with the armature.

My 06 does the same thing and it's been doing it since new. Just be sure your batteries are charged up. I'll usually only pull that one it when on shore power or when generator is running to give a little boost to the batteries..

Hi Don! Now that I think about it, I believe our 2002 Windsor does the same thing. Have fun and keep her between the ditches!

Good luck, happy trails, and God bless!

My Exec is a little slow but not bad for it's size, passenger side which is smaller is much faster.

2002 does same thing.
