369RL Self induced Slide issue
Hello all,
not going to play the blame game... so just the facts. double slide was brought in against the new ottoman that was just put in (and everyone was told it had to be turned lengthwise before we brought the slides in ugh). I heard a loud metal pop and now the back slide on one side doesn't work. Anyone done this yet? and more important, can I fix it? or is a repair facility only project?
thanks Alan
also anyone have any websites where videos are posted about repairs (other than Utube)

Don't feel bad, it's happened to several of us. The second time I used my brand new Solitude last year I ran the main slides in without folding down the dinette table leaf...ugh! Yep it folded the kitchen island over enough to dent the reefer door lol Couple days at the dealer and it was good as new so no worries, yours is fixable.

Well, we have (way down) on the repair list to replace the vertical flat piece that trims the edge of the molding on the left living room. One of the recliner tables was left in place and during the travels rotated and got jammed between the corner of the slide and wall when extending the slide.

I'm just glad I learned my lesson when I crushed the Kleenex box that fell off the sofa end table. No damage, well, except to the kleenex box. But it made a big pop and I was worried until I figured out what it was.

Thank you all for the response. Have not had a chance to look and see what has broken. Hopefully on Saturday. Will keep you all updated and will try to attach pics.

Ok, got to the slide today, It was the front pinion gear. Two teeth sheared off, You would have thought the small bolt would have sheared first like it was designed to, but alas, is not the case. Ok next question, does anyone know the part number for the pinion gear set. It has 15 teeth (well actually 13 but it is supposed to have 15!!!!) Too many choices on Amazon and of course its sunday and no dealer is open today. 2016 Solitude 369RL
