SLIDE OUT ROOM

Camping

 

SLIDE OUT ROOM

 

The trailer should be level prior to extending the slide out room. The front stabilizing

 

jacks MUST be deployed. If the front jacks aren’t down when the room is extended

 

the side to side imbalance will twist the body of the trailer if it’s only supported by the

C

front hitch jack. Please read the complete leveling and stabilizing instructions in the

Extended Stay part of this section.

Once leveled and stabilized, locate the switches to operate the room. They are black

 

and located on the interior wall just forward of the room. The left switch, marked lock

 

downs, must be used first. The lockdowns are the large paddle latches on each end

 

of the room. Depress the switch to the unlock position and hold. You will see the

 

paddle latch on the forward end of the room retracting. Hold the switch down until

 

the panels are completely retracted and you hear the operating motors just start to

 

strain. The motors are thermal protected so you won’t have to worry about damag-

 

ing them. All models also have magnetic travel blocks that need to be removed from

 

the travel latches.

 

Now hold the slide out switch in the out position. Hold the switch until the motor stops

 

indicating the room is fully extended.

 

Retracting is the same procedures in reverse order. Make sure the room is re-

 

tracted and the lockdown paddle latches are firmly engaged PRIOR to storing the

 

stabilizing jacks.

FAILURE TO RETRACT

In the unlikely event the room won’t retract, the first place to check is the lock down paddle latches. If curious fingers have hit the lock down switch and the latches aren’t fully closed, power is automatically cut to the slide out switch. To correct this situation depress the unlock position on the lock down switch until you’re sure they are fully retracted then try the slide out room switch again.
