Slide Out would not retract
We have a Jayco Jay-Flight 26RLS and purchased it just two years ago. This last Memorial weekend had a great time and the one main slide went out just fine. And also to say we had not been experiencing any issues with the slide at all. On the day we were to come home all was going well until we went to bring the slide in. Pushed the button, motor ran, but slide did not retract. Tried using the manual method of cranking it in but to no avail. After further inspection noticed the motor ran and when viewing from the outside noted the retracter bar was not moving underneath the slide. Had not heard anything break or any unusual noise on the first attempt at retraction. Finally with a tip from an RV tech at an RV dealer where we did not buy the rig.. He said to have someone push the retraction button while a few of us pushed on the outside to get the slide in. I suspect it either came off track or there is a gear mechanism I could not see which may have broke and without cutting into the underbelly cover was not able to further diagnose it. Dropped it off at Camping World where we had purchased it and now waiting for it to be repaired. Seems this rig is way too new for it to have had this kind of issue. We dropped it off on June 1 and our Jayco factory warranty runs out June 12. We had purchased the 5 year extended warranty but hope they will honor this repair under the factory warranty. Have any of you experienced a retraction problem similar to this?
