Slide Cable Broke
Had an unpleasant surprise when setting up today when a slide cable broke. Have been trying to contact a mobile repair, with no success yet. If no success with a mobile guy, what are the thoughts about bringing the slide in and continuing our trip? The slide seems to move OK.
We talked to our dealer back home and they said not to let the frayed end slide back through the seal when we pull the slide in as it will make the replacement process more difficult. I asked about removing the other end of the cable from the bracket on the inside, since that would be the only way to keep it from pulling through the seal, and they said not to since the motors would not be balanced. It's a broken cable, so the motor is already out of balance.
For background, it's a 2019 MHC 321 MK. It's the kitchen slide on the curb side of the trailer, and it's the upper cable that pulls the slide back in. Thanks for your thoughts.
