Steve & All,

Where is the slide out controller physically located?

rmcgillis,

Well, I actually took the interior cover off of a slide lock yesterday and opened the cover. Just because.

I found the snap switch / micro switch and removed it. When to a local supply house and got a possible replacement. Later today I'm going back and see if it's a possible spare etc.

Also ran thru a couple of S/O online owners manuals looking for wiring but all I have found so far is TO SLIDE MOTOR but nothing else.

This sure smells like it would be a good research project for a rainy day. Component locations, wiring diagram and sequence of lock and slide motor operation stuff. In addition to the link and controller diagram previously posted.

At least a few pics coming later.

Gary

Any thoughts on this? So far I've been unable to find any schematics on this model (2007).

Mike,

Sorry, ain't been there. But how about starting a thread in the Electrical, Solar forum section? That gets the attention of others re: solar wiring and Classic models might have similar or at least suggestions.

Good luck,

Gary

Gary, On my 28' the controller is located below the slideout switches in the area in the arm of the gaucho. Just lift off the arm off the gaucho and it's attached to the wall.

SLIDE OUT CONTROLLER
Hi again fellow sliders! I was just over at my '08 34 and I had a good look at the slide controller. On my rig it is located in the road side arm rest for the front couch. It is really easy to locate and if needed , to work on, but be careful when throwing 'stuff' into that storage compartment as it is pretty easy to whack it with 'stuff'! The controller is a Power Gear component, part # 140-1213 rev.2. you can look it up as simply a 140-1213 and you will find a couple of suppliers. Power Gear has morphed into Lippert and their new part number is #368899 which again seems to be listed with a number of suppliers. It looks as though the going price for these things is just south of $200.00 so that is not a huge price to pay should we ever need one. I hope that we never do need one but if we do the information and maybe some stock seems to be out there! Keep on slidin!
Pete

almost forgot.......
the wooden blocks on my rig were really easy to 'release' and a couple of times the rearward one released and fell into the void behind the inner collar of the slide. That was a challenge to retrieve, a real P.I.T.A. moment. I soon learned the solution. The jam nut/bolt that holds the magnet in place was in too tight , keeping the magnet from making contact with the arm surface. I just spun it out a turn or two and now when I put the magnet blocks in place, they stay put! Simple solution to a little problem that can hold up the 'get ready to go' process! Can you tell that I'm bored and want to get that rig rolling and sliding????? Pete

Pete,

BINGO, same here!

A fellow nameless slider didn't even know the slide locks used those magnetic blocks. I measured mine and he made his own to replace the missing ones.

It's real nice here in SC today so I pulled the arm rest and golly, what's that? Now about that S/O control box, I have seen that box MANY times but somehow always thought it was the front 30A connection, never linked that it was the controller box.

So there it is, call me stooopid but please pass the mashed potatoes.

I did recently find the micro switch for the travel locks and I wouldn't get to worried about specs just go by size and config and call it good to go. I bought two as spares and shares.

Same time I found the micro switches I snagged a long shank Klein 1/4" and 5/16" magnetic rubber handled nut drivers. Oh yeah! got to use them both the other day on my ring around the water heater clogged orifice fun and games.

Care to ask me about a wiring doc? Hint hint.

Gary

ok Gary.... I'll bite'
Just wondering if any enlightened slider has come up with a wiring diagram yet? Just wondering. I know that it's a huge ask, but you never know.
Sliding without a wire!

2008/9 34 ft. Classic LTD s/o for sale in Rockport, TX

Posted by jwgreen@mtco, SOS #13

Staying in Rockport for March. Just drove by a 2008/9 34 ft. Classic LTD with a slide out sitting on a lot for sale. Awnings all around, queen bed. Did NOT see inside. Has EOH disc brakes with the OEM actuator that should be replaced by buyer. I spoke with Rick at (210) 413-5205 who is selling it for his daughter. I have no personal interest in this, just thought others in the SOS may be interested. Seller says it's a 2009 but tag on the side shows manufactured date of 05/08. Asking price is $55k.

There recently was a classified WTB for a 34’ S/O.

Don’t know if they found one or not.

Don and Marion,

How about that!

Yup you counted correctly and S/OS#116 goes to Don and Marion.

I had to check the map cause being born in the Buckeye State and flying its burgee in my rig as I hunt and peck on the phone I had to see where Troy OH is. And just a few small towns stop lights and speed traps N of you and bingo, Jackson City fills the windshield. We’re originally from way west of Cleveland but still in the crooked river county.

Glad you found us and happy trails to you folks.

From the shoreline Strom Thurmond Reservoir.

Regards

Gary

Im curious about the sequence that slides came out of the factory. Im looking at confirming if they were assigned a specific block of numbers for the last 6 of the vin or if they were randomly assigned whatever sequence number along with everything airstream made that year. Im collecting 2001 vin info for just the last 6, so if anyone could let me know here or in PM if thats better for you, id appreciate it. Thanks

WW2GURU,

Not sure which way the VIN's would go. My guess would be just as they built them...next number, next number etc... We don't collect VIN info but our member list includes several S/O's from 2001. Maybe a PM to the other 2001 S/O Owners individually would help your quest.

Searching our member list carefully would show you a list like this:

Slide-Out Society - S/OS - Member Update

We made it to mid-March in New England. Getting closer and closer to warmer weather up here! Day light is lasting a little longer each day and now "Sliding" forward with the time change in about 45 minutes.

Congratulations to our new members Don & Marian with that 2003 34' Classic S/O. This is the first 2003 34' we've added to the group since we started keeping a list. I've updated our member list and model counts for your reference.

Welcome aboard our little group of Sliders! It's great that you found us.

Great adventures!
