2019 2500RL Bump out noise
When we put the the slide out or bring it in, there is a noise which sounds like the gear isn't quite meshing in the track - if that makes sense. I'll try to get a recording of it to post the sound, but the trailer is currently in storage. Any tips on how to re-align or otherwise resolve this? The GD dealers here in Denver are booked out through late March right now for service appointments.

What type of slide system you have. Is their gear rails mounted on the side walls of the exterior of the slide? Is the system driven by a ram system under the slide?

Its a Schwintek, the one with the continuous "S" shaped rails on the side.

Have you done the routine lubrication to it?

I have not!! But I will see if I can get out to the storage unit and give that a try. How often is that recommended?

So I went out to the trailer today and looked at doing the lubrication. What I found isn't what I saw in the video, so I didn't do anything other than run it out and in a couple times. Here is a video of the noise. You can hear it goes out just fine, its only when it starts to come back in do you get the noise and the whole trailer vibrates a little. https://youtu.be/9kmCKBPT_Ks
Here is a closeup of the top track on the inside and rear side (where the noise is coming from)
Let me know your thoughts please!?!?2019 Grand Design Imagine 2500RL

Your system may just need to be realigned or the motor on that side needs to be replaced. Watch videos online for realignment process-change motor process. Good luck.

did you ever figure out the issue? From the video and the pictures, it leads me to believe the drive gear on the motor is not meshed tight enough on the track and is skipping when you try to run it back in.

We took it to Camping World, because they could get it in before June. Sounds like it was somehow mis-aligned and the gears on the top in the rear were not meshing with the track correctly. So they are replacing the rails on the back side and will re-align it properly. No idea how it happened.
