Roof maintenance is much cheaper than any water damage repair...


Good luck with your shopping, and post back here when you make a decision. This forum is a good place to get specific Tour Master questions answered, and be sure to look through the archives on what other owners have done to improve their coaches.

Hi Chuck,

Hey, how did you lubricate your slides in your Tour Master? The main slide, the electric bed slide and the passenger side closet slide? At a glance, it looks like the only slide that would benefit from slide lube is the bed slide.

For the closet slide, it's tough to send out and the cables seems to be in good shape. Had one replaced in Aug and had to tighten it up after the fact. The extension difficulty predated that replacement.

For the main slide, to get it back in, I have touch it in, leave it for a few minutes, and then extend it out and then pull it in. I think it gets stuck across the top so think I have to "break the seal," etc.

Thanks Chuck.

Phil
