Kitchen Slide comes in with jerk

[jlonginav]

Hello all,

2018 Cougar 367FLS. When stowing kitchen slide floor comes in ahead of roof. After last trip roof stays put to long and then a large jerk to catch up to floor. I recently lubricated both gear rails but outsides edges do need a good cleaning. Any ideas is appreciated

Make sure you use dry lube for your rails. As well make sure the rubbers seal on all sides are lubricated on a regular bases. Also insure that the rubber seas are lubricated on all sides.Speaking from experience, these seals really grab onto the slide if they are not lubricated. Good luck.

I just spent the day adjusting the room height according to the Lippert manual. I cleaned and treated all seals and dry lubed the gears. The Jerk of the roof catching up is less but not gone.

If the room comes in “floor high” for a while and then “leans in” when the roof gets to a certain point, it’s not necessarily bad. Your main concern is sealing top and bottom when fully extended and retracted.
