Location of the bedroom slide mechanism on a 310GK?
I've lubed the rail top and bottom but it still sounds 'squeaker' than it did last year.
Is there a way to lube the gear mechanism? Where is it located? (Bedroom electric slide)2021 310GK-R - MorRyde suspension and pin box. Sumo Springs. Solar, 7k axles.

Head over to the Lippert site and find the maintenance manual for the Schwintek slides. I believe they don't recommend lubricating the slides (though some folks do). There are two drive motors - one on either side - with the pinion gears for the four racks on shafts.

There’s also a couple rollers on the floor at the foot of the bed- could this be the source of your squeak?2021 Solitude 310GK: Linen/DP windows/gen prep/slide toppers/king bed/EOH disc brakes/Cooper-H tires

Mine is much noisier this year (not a squeak but a horrible thumping sound for the first half of extension). I found the manual in the description of a short LCI video on Schwintek which has me believing that I have not properly extended my slide out since they say hold the slide extend/retract button until the motors stop, then an additional 3-5 seconds to prevent the slide from getting out-of-sync. This is not what is stated in my GD manual and the re-sync procedure is not the same as well. Video is two and a half minutes or so here if you want a look - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSxC-0GSWwk
It does say in my GD manual - "If needed, lubricate ONLY the upper & lower Gib, Bearing Block, Coupler, and V-Roller on each side of the slide with CRC Power Lube with PTFE (in the green can)." Per the latest manual on GD's site which of course does not match the LCI documentation.Last edited by ajg617; 04-19-2023 at 09:52 AM.

I wash the tracks along with the rest of the trailer, then dry them off with the rest of the trailer with a compressed air. Then I get out the bent tube to lube the motors. Have not heard any out of the ordinary noises for 5 years, although I do have a couple of small dimples in the flooring from the rollers where it rests retracted.
I hold the switch 3-5 seconds after the stroke ends & have never had a problem with the slide getting out of sync...yet.Paul, Sue & Wonder Dog Zane
