Urgent Search for RV Tech: Fixing Our Broken Schwintek Slide on Grand Design RV

[@ThorCampers]

I’m very happy Greg did such a great job on your slide. When he did my slide a week earlier, the Lippert controller turned out to be bad, and Greg was able to get that covered through my aftermarket warranty policy. If anyone needs a RV Repair anywhere near Columbus Ohio, call Greg!!!

[@campinwiththeconfers]

Greg saved the day for us for sure! Glad he did the same for you! Did you make it to FL? Thanks so much for watching and sharing with a comment! - Mike and Shelley

[@RVAmerica]

We always say it's not a matter of if something will break but when. So glad you were able to get it fixed quickly. Lynn and Danny

[@campinwiththeconfers]

True story! We try to just roll with the punches! Thanks for your support as always. Safe travels! We really hope we can meet up sometime. Are you still in CAN?- Mike and Shelley

[@RVAmerica]

​@campinwiththeconfers we are back at our home base in TN. We hope to meet up too. It seems like we are always on opposite ends of the country.

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

We are glad you found a Mobile RV Tech that could fix it! So we had the parts, cost $382, and the mobile tech we found in St. Augustine charged us $875 for labor and did take about 7 hours. It was in December 2021- wow prices have increased.

[@campinwiththeconfers]

Wow! Did you have to replace the entire mechanism? Was it as big as ours? It’s crazy prices would go up that much in two years. Safe travels to you guys! - Mike and Shelley

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

@@campinwiththeconfers We had to replace the bearing block, rollers with bearing, shoes, screws and foam pads. And yes, prices on everything are up!!

Thank you Janice! We got it fixed just in the nick of time! We appreciate you watching and commenting! - Mike and Shelley

[@CruisinwiththeColemans]

We have 60 pound shocks on our bed because our mattress is so thick. Haha! I am so, so happy you got that slide fixed! Safe travels! - Michelle & Brian

[@campinwiththeconfers]

Thank you! It was a close one! Makes you rethink having a rig with slides when they break.

[@nancyjones6784]

Sorry to hear you had slide issues. We bought the same model 2022. We had to have the wall with the slide repaired. Took it out on our first camping trip and the slide broke. Luckily Grand Design came and got the camper and changed the slide only to find out they did it wrong and had to change it again. The service lady than said they revise or beefed the slide up. Hopefully we won’t have issues. Love your videos!

[@campinwiththeconfers]

Glad they fixed it for you. That's even better that they came to you! Ours held up for 4 1/2 years before the break so hopefully its fixed for good! Thanks so much for sharing, we really appreciated hearing from folks! Safe traveles to you! - Mike and Shelley

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

One of the reasons we wanted this little one that has no slides. Wow sucks that they had to replace the entire slide system not just the motors. Glad u got it fixed.

[@campinwiththeconfers]

We have considered something with no slides but as you know - it gives you so much room! If we could have two rigs - I think that would be the way to go. Thanks for your support as always! - Mike and Shelley

[@airstreamer]

Hard decisions about fixing the slide. How frustrating. Looks like a great mod to the shocks. Nice! Glad you were able to get it fixed finally. Safe travels! -Michelle

[@campinwiththeconfers]

Yeah it was hard to spend that kind of money getting it fixed when we know we plan to upgrade in the next year. The shock were long over due! Thanks for watching and commenting as always! - Mike and Shelley

[@toddramsay977]

Thanks, my wife always ask me to hold up the bed when she needs to get underneath, even though I have a 2x2 that I cut so when she lifts the bed, she can wedge it between the front corner floor and the top plywood at an angle to hold it up. I wanted to change out the struts but did know how strong they needed to be. Too strong and the bed never goes down, but you want them strong enough to hold up the bed. We got a residential mattress and the hold up the bed with just the mattress. When you put on the bedding, comforter and foot blanket, they are not strong enough to hold it up. Great video! Thanks for sharing, I will look at 135lbs on-line. I will use your link to buy.

[@campinwiththeconfers]

Thanks! Glad we could help. Can’t believe we waited so long to do this inexpensive mod! Thanks for hanging out with us again! Stay safe out there! - -Mike and Shelley

[@justramblinaround]

Love mods with Mike! Our bedroom slide has been making some scary sounds we are worried every time. That was a great PSA very good one! So glad it all worked out for you safe travels and hope we get to catch up soon!😊

[@campinwiththeconfers]

Yeah having those dreaded slide issues makes us almost consider getting something without slides. Thanks for your support as always! We too look forward to a meetup one day!

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

Thank God for those men and women who are called to be mobile RV techs 🔥

[@campinwiththeconfers]

Yeah there is not much Mike can’t fix but this one was beyond his skill set. Did you see how Tiny he looked next to the RV tech?

[@ohioclassCcamper]

Glad you got everything fix for you trip. Saw your short looks like a great trip. Enjoy your time and safe travel.

[@campinwiththeconfers]

Thank you! Fixed just in the nick of time! We have so much to share about the trip. It was amazing! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! We really appreciate it! - Mike and Shelley

[@garyhahn3450]

So glad you were able to get it fixed for your trip.

[@stuwardw]

We also visit our house sometimes

[@campinwiththeconfers]

Sometimes I wonder why we still have it! We are so close to just selling it!

[@stuwardw]

@campinwiththeconfers us too, but we are afraid we may feel homeless

[@LessonsofLeisure]

This is my worst nightmare for a trip.

[@campinwiththeconfers]

Yep. This and blowouts. We have now had both! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. We really appreciate it! - Mike and Shelley.

[@donniemabry1470]

Hey Mike you and your wife ever rented a cabin before.

[@campinwiththeconfers]

Plenty of times. We get one for Christmas every year!!

[@donniemabry1470]

@@campinwiththeconfers I always get a lake cabin

[@OurSomedayStartsToday]

What camp is your home base ? We’re up in Cleveland and looking for a good place. I understand if you don’t want to disclose.

[@campinwiththeconfers]

There are tons of nice parks out there. Just have to do some weekends to find the one that is right for you. As far as disclosing our full-time spot, we keep that to ourselves. Sorry.
