Several years ago due to freezing cold temperatures I shear the pin on the drive on one side of the slideout. Pulled the rig into the sun and let it warm up,
installed a new pin and hadn't had problem til the yesterday.
Getting the trailer ready head out to the southwest, I tried to run the slide out. Seem it was frozen, temperature was mid 30's.
I had the furnace running to check it out. After awhile, about 45 minutes, tried the slide again and it went out normally. Finished up what I was doing and tried to bring it back into. One end seem to try to come in and the other end didn't. I thought that the pin sheared again.
It warmed up a little more today so I crawled under for a look. Pin wasn't sheared. Had the DW try the slide and it would turn a little and bind the motor down. I put a ratchet on the manual override and started to hand ratchet it in. Seemed to move easily so I had the DW hit the switch and it went back in normally.
I was plugged in shore power so it wasn't a low battery. I use dry slide and WD 40 to lube the rails.
Any thoughts..
