Monaco Exec Bedroom Slide Adjustment

[Lee Bornstein]

Have 2000 Monaco Exec 43' DS and having trouble with bedroom slide on drivers slide.

Slide appears to be out of level. Looking at molding on left side i have 1/4" space between closet and molding at bottom and no space on top so it appears that right side of slide is too high causing binding on left when extending and retracting slide.

Anyone know how to adjust level of the slide? Possibly problem could be damaged roller on left side? Have no experiencing working with slide mechanisims as yet. This is an electric slide with one motor under bed.

Need to fix this before it gets worse and slide stops working.

Any suggestions??

They change mechanisms from coach to coach, year to year and hydraulic versus electric.

With that said, on some you can first check any stripes on the exterior for alignment. On many, you extend the slide about a foot and under the outer edge are often some adjusters. They're vertical bolts with a locking nut. Loosen several adjacent bolts and then adjust the vertical bolt to correct height.

On many Monacos, you could lay on the floor, with the slide in, and look under the slide, from the inside with a flashlight. They had rollers at both ends. Make sure those look correct. If they do, you can take a phillips screwdriver and adjust them up or down (screw head facing you).

Keep in mind, my explanations are from a 2005 Monaco and like I said, things change. Typically though, if you're handy, just take a few minutes, study the mechanism and they're pretty easy to figure out how they work.

Got under Bed today and found the following:

Bedroom carpet had been removed and laminate flooring installed.
Carpet under bed was still there but not anchored down and when slide would go in and out the carpet would fold over and not allow the slide to work smoothly.

Removed section of carpeting and secured remaining carpet so it wouldn't jam.

Problem solved!

Thanks.
