Have you tried to lube it? That side has rollers in addition to the rack and pinion!

End of the video quote, "Now you're one step closer to enjoying the calm of the great outdoors"

That's after raging for 2 hours because your slide is stuck or making scary noises.

CRC Power Lube is what I have used from day one with my Voltage - no issues.


I carry a can with me in my toolbox.
