A Couple Motorhome Owners Technical Questions & Answers
These are
questions from Country Coach owners. The issues, however, are common to all
motorhomes, not just the Country Coach brand.
Slide out
Mechanism Question
Question: I have a 2003 Country Coach
Allure triple slide, with a galley X-slide.
When the slide goes in and out
the water lines, drain, and electric wires move in and out as the slide moves.
They slide across the tile floor on an angle as the slide moves. I heard a
rattle under the cabinet, so I opened the small cover under the sink to
expose part of the below area, and found a shroud type of metal cover, that
looks like at one time it was attached to the wires for rubbing protection, as
the slide moves the hoses and cables in or out.
It was lying on the floor near the outside frame, and not attached to
anything. I assume that at one time it
may have been cable tied to the group of wires and pipes, to avoid them rubbing
on the bottom floor, or the top to protect from rubbing on the bottom of the
cabinet. I'm not sure if there is anyone
at your facility who might know where it might have been attached. It
looks like a piece of aluminum shaped like a gutter for a house, and is
approximately 2 feet long, there are no holes in it, so I think possibly it was
cable tied to the hoses and wires, on top, or bottom, or side. There was some
dust bunnies on the inside of it, but only on one side, so perhaps it should be
either attached to the front or rear of the cables and hoses.
Answer:
You
are correct. The piece you are speaking of is the support slide for the
plumbing and wiring. It does travel with the plumbing and wiring as the room
moves in and out. This piece will need to be reinstalled so the plumbing and
wiring again move smoothly with room operation. We can certainly take care of
that repair for you, if you wish to bring the coach in. Just give us
a call at 541-998-2640.
Bay Door
Delamination
Question: I have a question on my 2007 Intrigue-- a couple of the bay doors
seem to be delaminating. Since there is foam inside how is this to be
fixed?
Answer: You
can address this problem by:
1) Removing back ABS panel from bay door and
cleaning surfaces.
2) Then apply StayBon or Elmer's Ultimate adhesive
to both surfaces.
3) Clamp pieces back together. Be careful with the
clamps so as not to damage the paint.
Premier can handle this repair for you if you
wish. For all of your motorcoach needs, or if you have a highline
well-maintained motorhome you wish to consign, give a call at 541-998-2640.
