Slide on the FS, passenger side,

the slide is really having a hard time going out, it comes in great, sometimes it goes out about 3 to 4 inches, we have to push it to get it to go, we try for about four or five times, then it will finally go with us pushing it on both ends, the wife by the swich end and me on the other side of the bed, any ideas, I am worried that it will stop altogether and the controller is under the bed,,
These slide mechanisms are junk, I had problems with the one on my other MH also, all the time
we keep the weight to a minimum with clothes and such, but they should have designed it with the weight of the clothes in the closets and drawers, I have sprayed the motors at the bottom, thinking it needed lubed

Is this a Schwintek slide with the rails on the upper and lower exterior slide wall? If so the motors should be at the top of the slide and on the bottom.

I'm not sure which slides were used on the 2018 but my 2020 Accolade bedroom slide is a Schwintek.

If it is Schwintek, sounds like it is a timing problem. The motors will go out of time as they arwe used. To prevent this, simply keep the switch depressed for an additional 3-4 seconds at the end of the in or out cycle.
We had this problem on our 31DS, but since learning this fix, problem solved!

Well the slide only has motors at the top on each side, and rollers on the bottom, we learned to hold the button in for a count to 5 on the last crap schwinteck we had
