Yes another slide question
2015 thor 28 class c. Schwintek slide, pretty sure. I get more noise than just the hum of motor. Not huge but hearing stuff, a slight thump here and there.. Is this normal or do you just hear hum of motor. It go's in and out fine. I do not see any gaps or signs of uneven tracking. I am in for it? Another question, is there any where you can shine a light and see internally behind those seals? Appreciate any info. Rails and seals look good and I was maintaining First unit with a slide.

Have you lubed them? It made a big difference on mine, I was recommended to use CRC Power lube. I sprayed the tracks and behind the seals at the top to get the motor gear and at the bottom to get where the shaft runs down to the bottom gearbox.

I have the same concern - just ordered the recommended lubricant directly from Lippert... will see if it quiets things down.
Kwikee KwikLube™ Spray Lubricant - Various Options
SKU: 379176
Package Count
1 Can
Lippert is the parent company - my Slide says "Slim Track"
2017 Minnie Winnie 31 D 3 Slides
After 4 years of moderate use (about 4 months per year), no problems.

Does this lube leave a residue after drying that feel sticky or that would hold/ retain dirt/ grit? If so, switch to SILICONE, (that goes on wet, leaves invisible film)?

The lippert product I referred to goes on the moving parts of the motor, not the track. Less likely to attract dirt and grime, but I haven't received it yet so don't know.

Confusing, some videos show lubricating rails others not to. I hope I can get to the gear portion.

CRC is the stuff to use , you need to lube the motor in the top and bottom , I have to add a straw and bend it to do it, also you have a single gear at the bottom you need to lube that to. LCI has a good video online of how to lube them, you do not have to lube the rail.
