Hello!!! Slide Question
We're new members and trying to navigate this site. Hopefully we will be doing the correct thing. We have a 2015 Montana with slide outs. One of the slide outs is 14' with all appliances on it. There are no rollers or slide plates. Has anyone out there had rollers or slide plates installed on the slide out?

I think you will find a nylon/teflon slide bar on the floor under the slide. Without knowing what brand or model it is just a guess.

As Carl said, if it's an electric slide it either has rollers or slide plates. As I understand it, you have to lift the slide to see the plates.

You can pull the slide in a foot or so and you can see the little U shaped wear bar under the slide. Should be 1/2" or 3/4".

Is your 2015 a High Country with cable slides? Ours has just the wear bar under the appliance slide. So far no issues but I'm prepared to install rollers if it ever starts giving me trouble.

slides
We have a 2016 MHC that we bought used and we have all the appliances in the large slide too. The slides would go in only half way and would stop.If you waited a minute the internal breaker in the slide motor would reset and you could continue. Sometimes took a couple of resets. Asked the seller if that was normal (only our second 5er and first Montana)? He said "it's always done that". I'm no dummy so I called the dealer. They said all you need to do is change the The red CB in the front compartment from the 50 amp to 80 amp, So I bought the trailer. $5000 dollars later and six months in the shop the slides are working (guess I was a dummy but slowly learning). The factory said, "sorry, out of warranty". We did have a Good Sam policy which paid $1600 of that repair. Turns out they were rigged cattiwompass from the factory. Even when running right now it's tearing the Darco. I took it back to the same shop and they "taped" it. I said that's not a fix, that's a bandaid and I'll be back for free warranty work when it tears again. Anyway, to answer your question, here is a video showing how to install rollers. Still may tear up the Darco but should be of help. Having that heavy slide only sliding on a slide strip is the cheap way out.

hilliker,
Please see the exchange between Tom N OH on this page on my problems and fix for putting rollers on the kitchen slide on my '17 Hich Country. This heavy slide also ran on a wear/slide bar rather than rollers. Turns out that BAL/Norco/Accuslide makes rollers specifically for Keystone trailers with problems with the wear bar. They're designed to make the slideout run slightly above the wear bar. See the link below to a page on this forum where i described how I fixed mine (toward the bottom of the page). BTW; the Accuslide rep was very responsive and helpful on getting parts, videos, and adjusting the cable mechanism.
Also, you don't have to saw out the sections of the wear bar as shown on the video shown on the link Tom Woodward referenced above.

We own a 2019 MHC331RL and I just added the BAL rollers to our kitchen slide last weekend. So far it has seemed to help get some of slide weight off the wear bar and the slide seems to move in and out with a little more ease. I am still a little anxious to see how the darco fabric holds up on the rollers. I bought the BAL rollers from a local Keystone RV dealer.
