Slideout Problems - cochranstephen - 11-23-2006 03:03 I have a 2001 Xl and have had a lot of problems with the slideout, it has been the safty switches, the seal, or the leverlers not working It goes from one thing to another. Dones any one know if these models are having above average problems. Slideout Problems - David Brady - 11-23-2006 05:00 I haven't heard of any problems. I have an '02 LXi and the slide and landing gear have been reliable, both are made by HWH. I'm not sure what technology the '01 LX uses - in house or HWH.

I do remember we had several problems with our 2001 LX. The factory autorized Holland Motor to replace the seal. I remember it took 2 men 12 hours. The second problem was with alignment. Wendel and/or Jessie at the factory found it neccessary to make very small adjustments. The slide caused some interesting delays when it would not retract. After these 2 major fixes we did not experience any more problems. I wish you well in finding the gremlins.

In the process, we learned that the previous owner had been to the factory for a NEW SEAL, and also for some repairs to the slide finish because of BB engineering and Owner operation issues. We took it to HWH twice before we got to the root of the problem. BB had improperly installed the NEW SEAL generating a host of expensive problems for us. HWH installed another NEW SEAL and showed us how the job had been botched by BB. I haven't gotten around to bringing it to the attention of BB management yet, but, in fairness to them I will be contacting them for their response. luckyron near Dallas,TX --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "adieu2y" wrote: > > David, I've had several issues with our 2005 (3 slides) so it is hard > to remember which was which.

When the seal is installed the air pressure regulator must be adjusted to 15 to 17psi max, anything above this will cause the seal to ultimately fail. This info is from HWH. I believe most factories, BB included, tend to over pressurize the seal to ensure complete contact around the entire slide body. The fact is, a new seal needs to stretch, and will in time. If the seal does not make compete contact initially, it will as it stretches. We must resist the temptation to over inflate. For slide issues I'd recommend going directly to HWH and skipping BB.

Most think low numbers of airpressure has little force and 17 is the same as 19. I have a airbag that I pressurize to 12 psi to lift concrete swimming pools back to level. When you guys work out the slid kinks please document the repairs as I may need them in 2012.
