Had a great trip to Washington Beach this past weekend. Spectacular weather with friends for three nights. When we arrived the slide out didn't track properly going out to set up the dinette. The front side tracked more quickly than the rear slide. Putting the slide in required someone outside pushing it to help it get in or we never would have been able to get home. Now home and it won't move in or out. I have done a bunch of research on youtube and it sounds like the fault switch likely has shut down the motor. The motor itself may have come loose with a failed set screw or it needs lube (which I had no idea but should have known). Only have used the trailer maybe a dozen times since we bought it new... I watched a repair video online and it looks like it might be more than what I want to tackle. Any thoughts, comments or advise is welcome! -Tim

Sometimes you need to just go ahead and take it to a repair shop. This sounds to me like one of those times. I am guessing that it is a Schwintek. If so, this may help:

Not sure this may help: http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15666&KW=&PID=151533&title=schwintek-inwall-slideout#151533 - Schwintek In-Wall Slideout - R-pod Owners Forum (rpod-owners.com)

I had a similar problem on my r189.....there is a control unit that is at the back of the slide and the manuals show how to troubleshoot. It does not take much resistance for it to get out of synch.
