07 WW LE3505 with wide couch slide. Recently was on a trip and everything worked fine until I got home. In the driveway, the slide only operates on one side. Not operating on the other and seems to be disengaged. I can move the inoperable side by hand. Anyone had a similar problem. Under warranty, but like always if I can do it myself it would be less headache than taking it in... Thanks...Ron.

It's a Weekend Warrior 5th Wheel. It is a single slide which is only moving on one side. I tried to take a look and couldn't see anything. I'm gonna have to remove some of the covering to access. I haven't done that yet until I can get some feed back.

Re: Another Slide Question RE: WW LE3505
u don't here any motor noise or what??
I am with Nash sounds like a pin or a gear sheared ..
can u manualy crank it in or out???
oops reread u'r post and see u already done that ,,, as Nash said is it hydraulic or manual (gear drive) if it's hydraulic u may have a hose problem ,, sucking itself shut ,, in other words weak ,, but if it is manual it may be a gear or pin prob.. If it is under warranty ,, IMO i would take it back and have them fix it ,, i know it's a pain but ,, they may not cover anything else on u'r rv if u do it urself ,, the dealers are funny about this unless u call them and tell them u'r fixing xxxx problems ,, and usally they don't have prob with it ,, if u let them know ,, and most i have delt with just say send us the bill and we'll take care of it,,,

Mine has two electric motors. No noise means the motor has no power or worse.
However, Ron said he can move that side by hand, so a stripped pin or busted gear might be in order to look for.
Doesn't seem like both would happen at once, though.

Same thing happened to my 5er many years ago and it was a sheared pin. The dealer put stronger pins in and I haven't had the problem since. That's good because the material they use to enclose the bottom is a bear to drop out of the way.

Thanks for your help. I pulled it apart and foud that it was one elec. motor which turned two sprockets. The sprockets moved two chains, one for each side of the slide. The chains connected to a cable pully system. One bolt came loose over time. Looks like they did not tighten down the lock nuts to keep that from happening. All working well now and I'm glad I checked it out at home before taking it in. Thanks again.....Ron.
