Slides noisey & jerking
As if we don't have enough problems with our new Alpine 3600RS. The slides make a horrible noise when opening and closing. The kitchen slide makes a jerking noise like it is dragging on something. The bottom pulls before the top making the slid not pulling in level with the slide jerking.
DoeS anyone else have this problem?

I,m guessing you slides are hyd. driven and you have slide toppers. The hyd pressure takes the easiest path, the slide that move easiest. The slide toppers hold pressure on the top of slides while the hyd pressure push the bottom out. Personaly I use slide seal/treatment on the seals often. I also use a DRY lube on the lower roller and tracks. Dry lube to not collect dust & dirt.

No Toppers. We have only had the unit since August and it has been in the service department at Johnson RV three fourths of the time. We have used it twice. They say there is nothing wrong that they were heavy and would make noise.

I also have a 3600RS, i do notice my slides while being retracted the top and bottom arent being retracted evenly but i wouldnt say they are noisey tho. The top and bottom kinda of walk in if that makes sense, but this is my first rv with hydraulic slides. would like to hear more about your issues, either here or by PM

Possible to post a cell phone video of what you're experiencing? Something you consider excessive, might be normal. This would give forum members a chance to see/hear the same thing you are.

Is your Alpine sitting level fwd/aft & left/right? Is the hyd tank full when slide retracted about 1" from the top. Are you plug into shore power or using only battery power.

Vallboss2,
What in the world does all of this have to do with your slide being noisy and jerking?
Maybe if you address one issue at a time you'll get some help in diagnosing and repairing your problem, but to "spew" all those issues only serves to turn your thread about the slide problem into a general gripe thread and is not focusing on your slide problems (which was the center of this thread). Maybe redirecting your attention to the slide might be in order?

I also had issues with the kitchen slide in our Alpine 3500re. The slde would jerk and make a horrible noise going in or out. After several trips to the dealer with no luck I made a video on YouTube. That got everyone's attention. What the dealer found was construction debris binding the slide movement. The other issue is there is only one hydraulic ram on the kitchen slide so the movement will not be as smooth as the larger slides. Add this to the heat pump and refrigerator problems snd the first year saw allot of trips to the dealer for warranty work.

Thank goodness someone is nice and willing to say alpIne is not perfect!
Problems arE expected, but you as a consumer expect cooperation from keystone and the dealer. All issues with our alpine were supposedly repaired, but everytime the dealership fixed a warranty problem , they created another with poor workmanshp. Half of the issues were with dealer and the other half with keystone.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
