A real diy video from a real fulltime nomad without all the drama and fluff. Go Syd GO!!!!!!
Great video. Haven’t seen someone retrofit rollers without removing the slide, other than BAL’s ones they make specifically for retrofitting on their cable slides.
@JeffinTD - I actually used the BAL rollers on my Lippert slide-out because the Lippert rollers didn't give me the clearance between the support mechanism at the end of the slide when it was closed. The BAL rollers worked flawlessley.
@@kckettridge Nice. Good to know info.
YOU'RE BECOMING A PRO. ANY ADVICE WHEN THE DAY COMES ILL DM YOU. LOL
Sure thing!
GREAT to b a mr fix it type eh. The only time I ever used a reciprocating saw was in 2016 when we moved into a beautiful golf property that had sadly been plant neglected by its ailing owner. it was a corner lot about 1/4 acre in size. It was MY job to mow the lawns and no i didnt have a riding mower! there was a once beautiful 40 x 15 centre shrubbery type island on the front centre corner that was infested with weeds, grass and thornery. My hubby loved it. I hated it. I told him if he loved it so much it was then HIS job to weed it and clear it out. He examined it closely then walked away. the next day immediately after he left for work at 730 am I leapt into action with axes, saws etc. I chopped and hacked with wild abandon for hours. My neighbor took pity on me and brought me a reciprocating saw, which I greatly appreciated. I had never used one before but quickly got the hang of it. after another 3 hrs, the DISENCHANTED GARDEN was GONE! I dragged the mountain of shrubbery remains into the back of our truck. I later watched my hubby drive towards our house, slow WAYYYY down as he drove past the now dirt n stump patch, staring in bewilderment! I soon replanted that island in a much simpler nice arrangement. I LOVED that reciprocating saw!! Wonderful instrument of destruction/construction!
Nice neighbor. The reciprocating saw is certainly very handy. Im sure I'll find many things to use it on.
Hey Sid, You mentioned after finishing you were going to add weather stripping. What did you use and what did you do to install?
Also what did you do with the ABS plastic or sheeting on the slide floor where the screw cut into the material? Mine is doing the same thing on a 2017 Cougar 288 RLS.
I found slideout seals on amazon. I used flex seal on the cut. The roller just rolls right over it. Works so far.
Great video Syd. I wondered how to install those rollers. I’m thinking about doing mine. Now I know what those wear bars look like.
This was fairly easy to do.
Good video good job as always
Did you do the large slide? If so how many did you use on that slide?
Not yet. Had other priorties. I bought 5 rollers for that.
Nice job!
Thanks. Job wasnt as hard as I thought it would be.
Hey from San Antonio Tx
How did you know how much to jack up the slide to get the right amount of height for the roller to fit but not be too high or too low when you took out the jacks?
I measured the gap from the roof of the slide to the top wall opening edge. I measured 1.5" gap
yes but the slide is pinned top and bottom by gibbs/guide rollers for the Schwintek mechanism each side with only so much clearance.
@@gwilli1446 you are correct. In that instance, you could release the Schwintek motors so they are not engaged in the gibbs.
@@kckettridge but the gears are in the blocks that slide into the gibs and are trapped in the track gearing regardless of freeing/removing the motors. I believe there is some clearance up/down in the block to gib and gear to track but that's about it so one would need to watch that when jacking up the slide out room.
@@gwilli1446 on our previous RV, both motors on the Schwintech bedroom slide went out while we were at the Grand Canyon and we wern't able to pull the slide in/out so I pulled the motors out of the wall and was able to push the slide-out in and out by hand for the rest of our trip. I did have to jam a couple of 2x4's between the slideout opening and the slide-out to keep it from walking out while in transit.
If the RV manufacturers would install rollers in all slide-outs, we wouldn't have so many issues with them.
Agreed
