Slide-out motor drip pans?

Can anyone provide information on where I can order the drip pans for leaking slideout motors?

(Keystone's fix)

I don't think there is any specific "brand/model" drip pan. Most people have been using the aluminum disposable 8"x5" loaf pans and nylon zip ties to hold them in place.

I never heard of a slide out motor dripping, much less a plan to catch the drippings. Is this some thing new? What's dripping and why?

Here's a start: http://www.keystoneforums.com/forums...ght=slide+roof You can do a forum search and find several more threads discussing the problem.

Here is another thread with a few photos: http://www.keystoneforums.com/forums...highlight=drip

I had my slide roof replaced due to a leaking motor last month. I pulled the part number for the drip tray off the repair order and picked another one up for the bedroom slide. When I get home tonight, I'll grab the part number off of the tray. It was less then $10.

Slide-out motor drip pans?

How is the drip pan held to the motor or gear box? Zip ties? Picture?

It's actually a nicely formed drip pan that has an upper tab that is slotted where your gear motor mounting bolts go through. Tab fits up behind the gear motor and wall. I will upload some pics as well as the part number.

Apparently this is a bigger issue then we think since the dealer had about half a dozen of these drip pans in stock. Luckily Keystone had no issues authorizing the replacement of the slide roof membrane. My only complaint is that my dealer installed a lighter color roof versus the darker tan that was originally on my Cougar.

The picture and part number would be appreciated.

I find it hard to think that Keystone wouldn't have put a drain pan on all your slide motors whether they were leaking or not if they had already replaced a roof, if for no other reason, just as an ounce of prevention! They are suppling them and installing them for free last I had heard.

I agree! You would think so since it's a whole lot cheaper then replacing the roof membrane. Unfortunately they didn't offer to install one on the bedroom slide though... and since my dealer is 260 miles away and I sure don't want to take it back again to have the bedroom slide membrane replaced if that motor started leaking I figured I would just buy one and install it myself.

Here is the part number of the drip tray:

580894 cost shown on the parts sticker was $4.99


Now I'm not sure if that's a Keystone part number or my dealers, but I bought it from Bob Hurley RV in Tulsa, OK.


I was able to find it at Trekwood.com as well....

http://www.trekwood.com/products.php?product_id=1269231





Also, it appears that the Keystone part number is actually 580894. When you add the drip tray to the order basket it lists that same number.

I called Norco today and they are shipping me drip pans for three slides free of charge. If you want them, call Michelle at 574-596-8277.

I just had my slide roof replaced and drip pan installed at Holiday World Mesquite, TX. Trailer was just out of factory warranty but Keystone took care of it. I will shoot a picture of the pan they installed next time I get to the camper, maybe later today.

My 2018 Montana with 5 slides had this issue. What happened is that Keystone got slide motor gear boxes from a supplier that changed the seal on the gear box. The old seal worked just dine. I am not sure why they changed it.
In any case, the oil in the gearbox was filled just slightly higher than the shaft where it comes out of the box. This excess oil leaked out through the newly redesigned seal and dripped out.
It wasn't so much that the oil dripped, but that it caused the roof membrane to break down, bubble up, and get soft. I tried by mopping up the oil, and thought maybe the cleaned up membrane would dry out and go back in place. It didn't.
So, when I complained to CW where I bought it, they weren't aware of the problem until they called Keystone. Keystone acknowledged the problem. In fact, they had a "fix" for it which were these "drain pans".
It didn't really fix the problem so much as it prevented the oil from dripping on the roof. So the dealer put the pans on the five slides and no more dripping.
But naturally, the bubbled up roof continued to be a problem. The dealer said they were waiting on approval from Keystone to replace the roof, and they had my RV for two months at that point. So I said "Why don't you just cut out the damaged portion and put Eternabond on there. They said "Yeah"
So, I got my camper back with Eternabond patches on the damaged spots.
I am not super pleased with the fix, since it isn't really like new. But, OTOH, functionally it is the same as a new roof. And, you will never see it unless you deliberately crawl up there to see. In fact, I would never have known it was an issue shortly after I bought it unless I had inspected that area out of curiosity about how the slide motor works!
Bottom line lesson here is that if you have a Keystone camper, get up and inspect those slide motors. If its leaking, get a drip pan minimum. If in warranty, insist that the factory pay for the pans. If not, make your own pans, and you can fix any roof damage like I did.

My only concern with using Eternabond tape on the slide roof is the wiper seals. Every time you extend/retract the slide, the wiper seals "wipe/scrape" across the taped area. It may last "forever" and then again, the wiper seals may drag on the tape and pull the edges up. If that happens, it may worsen with every slide operation. While I have no experience to say it "will/won't" happen, I'd prefer my slides have no tape on the surfaces where the wipers make contact.

I'd urge you to "stay nosey" and watch the Eternabond, just to stay ahead of any possibility. It may never happen, then again.....

I have one electric slide and two hydraulic slides. Where are these slide motors mounted? How do I actually look at the motors to see If their is a oil leak problem. The top of the slides look good, so I assume theirs no leakage. I really want to see the motors to verify no leaks. This topic is completely new to me. Thanks

We just called our dealer and he told us he was aware of this problem. They ordered the little SS drip pan and had it shipped directly to our home. I installed it in about ten min.The cost was zero, Keystone took care of it.

I'm still wanting to know where these slide motors are located. Are they above the slide or under it? How do you get to them? Again, this topic is new to me. I'm a belt and suspenders kind of guy. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best. Thanks
