    Slideout type?

    I am a newbie and just bought a 2019 Coachmen Freedom Express 192RBS. It has one slideout for the couch. I have seen pics of different types of slideouts, but haven't been able to figure out what type it is and where the controller is located. Thanks for any help.

    Slideout Topper Replacement

    On our last camping trip I noticed a hole in the topper fabric on the large slideout on our DX3. It has the Carefree toppers. I decided to replace all 3 toppers & do the work myself.

    2014 DX3 Slideout

    Maybe I’m not using the search mechanism right, but I can’t find this info. How do I access the rear (bedroom) slide mechanism. It appears I need to remove some wood facia- is that correct?

    Bedroom slideout

    I own a 2020 290rl wildcat and am curious what others with this model are doing for a mattress? I thru the paper thin p.o.s.! of a mattress out when I bought it and tried thin ones with toppers but have not had any luck with a comfortable one. I think it's kind of a bad design with the slide...

    Ozark 2700TH Slideout

    Ok. At the dealer I got to see it go in and out a couple times and was assured that the noise and vibration were "normal". Got it home and it was a couple weeks before I tried to slide it out to show off for some friends. It got about 1/2 way out and the left side clearly locked and the whole...

    Schwintek slideout stuck at an angle left to right

    I noticed my slide out's left and right side doesn't move together. One side moves normally, but the other side will stop moving after a little bit. Then it resumes again. So my slide out moves in and out always at an angle. I did hit some pot holes on my 1000 miles trip. Eventually it is so bad...
