Slide problem

[nrhareiner]

Good afternoon everyone,


well we left POG II and went to the next destination campground. Everything working great until I tried to put Salon slide out. It would not go out. The rear top lock would not unlock. I hear alot of air excaping from area, but the lock will not release. After awhile the process times out, and have to start all over again. I always wait until air pressure in aux. tank is up to normal. I have tried every trick I know inlcuding raising rear, lowering left slide, raising left side etc. At least it is stuck in and not out. Any help greatly appreciated.

Kim,

What kind of slides do you have? HWH, Valid, or Prevost?

[nrhareiner]

they are factory Prevost slides

Kim,

I don't know if this will help you, but I have HWH hydraulic slides. They have locking pins that are opened and closed with solenoids. My rear bedroom slide pins would delay unlocking when the room was first extended. Newell recommended changing both the lock and unlock solenoids, I did that and 30 minutes later the bedroom slide was working properly.

It sounds to me like that is your problem; however, your locking pins may be air actuated. It could be a simple air leak which is not allowing the locking pins to unlock!

I'm sure that your converter can diagnose this problem quickly.

I will check the solenoids when it is light out. However I think this is air controlled.

Hi Kim,

I just asked Bob about the slides in our 2000 Vantare but they are HWH slides and we never had a problem. The single slide in our '03 Millennium is a Prevost slide. We were told that the engine has to be running and it must be at a high idle. We also have one bay on the driver's side under the slide that has several buttons that control the slide as well. Bob suggested looking for those controls in your bay to make sure a relay isn't tripped. Of course every conversion is different so who knows? At least it is locked in, like you said. If anything else comes to mind I will send you an email. Good luck!!
