Issue With Slide Out
My wife and I went to a spring RV show and fell in love with the Laredo 294RK and ordered one. When it arrived two months later and I got it home, I set it up, leveled it and started to learn the trailer. First thing I noticed was that the living area slide out did not extend fully. It stopped about two inches short - enough that the pantry doors next to the fridge can only be opened about 2/3 of the way. I took the RV to the dealer I purchased it from to look at. After two days, they called and said they couldn't see any issues and that it extended all the way out. I respectfully disagreed and they said they'd look at it again. Two days later, they called to explain that Keystone makes two different types of slide out mechanisms. One operates on a motor and cable system and the other is the ram jet system. Ours has the cable system and he said the motor sits on top the slide out and the slide out stops when a switch on the motor makes contact with the trailer wall above. This made no sense to me - I mean I understand what he was telling me, but why would Keystone make a trailer with a slide out that partially blocks cupboard doors when extended? Was the guy at the RV dealership telling me straight - that there are two different slide out mechanisms, or was he giving me a line of guff? Thanks folks!
