SIMPLE "FIX": Slow Bouncy Slides
The slides on my 2015 Bullet Premier recently started to slow down and bounce as they were traveling in and out. The motors seemed to be straining as well. The cables and pulleys looked good, so I assumed the wear bars were failing.
I have never lubricated the slides, but only cleaned the Darco fabric (black fabric) underneath the slides with microfiber and water once in the five years I have owned this trailer. It should mention that my fabric is in good condition with no rips or tears.
After some research, I saw that someone simply rubbed bar soap on the Darco fabric and it solved his problem. Well, he was not kidding, it worked! After rubbing the underneath of my slides with bar soap, they now operate at full speed and run in and out smoothly.
I literally spent more time Googling than I did "fixing" the issue. I know this will not work for everyone, but it is worth a try.
