I have a HR179 with a Lippert In-Wall Slide out. the H frame that is screwed in the outside wall in the lower back corner was pushed out causing a cap between camper and frame and the big Philips Head screw is sticking out about a 1/4 inch. It looks like it has been sheared off and is only about 3/8 long now. What does the big screw hold? I am thinking it is the motor mount or just clamping between inside and out of the H frame. The wall looks to move a little when the slide is first starting out.  Any suggested on how to trouble shoot or repair is greatly appreciated! Any diagrams of the slide or install instructions? TIA. Photo shows frame with slide extended so no rain will get in. and screw out. Mark

Ours originally did not have that. It was added because of the problem. It looks like it might have sheared off. Look on the inside for what looks like a washer. This is likely a speed nut. If you see threads, tighten the screw and see if it turns inside. If not, it did shear off. If it turned, then tightening the screw should pull the frame back up against the wall. It may have just loosened. This is what mine looks like on the inside. ------------- StephenH Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7712 - ouR escaPOD mods Former RPod 179 Current Cherokee Grey Wolf 24 JS |

| Thanks! Looked in the inside, found threads and took it out. It had sheared off. Now repaired and no more movement. |
