We have a solitude and I’m surprised they used the schwintek system for those slides. They are normally used for short slides that don’t bare that much weight. That slide has a couch and a fridge? Wow. They only used the schwintek on our bedroom slide. The others are the through frame system

You might want to check the screws that attach the gear racks to the slide out. I found that 1/3 of mine were sheared off from being over torqued during assembly.

Update on my 260 Rd Slide. Parts coming from Grand Design to strengthen the walls. They say too much flexing. Lippert has nothing to do with my problem. Design problem from GD. My dealer and Grand Design roving tech repair had a video call to watch my slide after replacing all electrical and mechanical components. Had specs within 1/8”. Still problems. Many 260 rd slide problems if you search. These are lemons. A big headache. Wish we never would have bought this.

I had my slide stick when only 6” in on way home from Florida. Took a tech and myself and wife 6 hours to get it in. Right now our 2021 260 rd is in the shop for 5 days and they are still having problems after replacing gears, racks, motors.

Be careful! If the geometry isn't right, there is a plastic piece on the lower bearing block that will break and possibly jam in the gear causing it to jump a tooth in the rack. That looks like what has happened with yours. It may ultimately ruin your floor and twist the H-tower. If the unit is under warranty, it may need to go back to the factory. Ours did and still isn't right (per the dealer).

Ours has to go back to the factory just like yours. As we r in Florida the bottom of the slide is not out as far as the top. The SRT team from Grand Design worked on it many times. They said some of those rivets are suppose to break off. ??

Hi I just purchased a 23 same model interestedly enough when I started talking about the slides he said “whenever you operate the slides make sure battery is 100 or your connected to power “ I haven’t taken delivery yet but I will pay close attention to slide operation . Otherwise how do you like the unit and anything else that comes to mind? Good luck with your situation

We have a 260rd. Purchased October of 22. Wall had a crack in paneling at corner of slide. General RV was supposed to fix it before we close and of course they didn’t! Scheduled appointment for December!! Took vacation time to take it in only to be told they weren’t ready to work on it. By mid January they had tore the inside apart and said they were waiting on GD! I picked it up in that condition with duct tape holding the window in and brought it home! Will never go to General RV again! GD picked it up and replaced the wall in a few weeks! Just got home from our 1st trip and the slide wouldn’t close. Had to push on it running it in and out a little rotating front to back depending on which side stuck! Our awning also ripped a few feet from the trailer on a 85 degree sunny day with little wind! What good is an awning if the dealer tells you to roll it in if it rains or if there is a slight breeze! At this point I have started emailing them! It’s been in the shop almost mor than in our possession! We should be able to charge them interest on it !

Mine is worse! 2021 Grand Design Reflection 278Bh. Only one slide out and it has never seemed right. The last two times, it would start pulling on one side while trying to retract, and then stop all together. I has to have someone to push it from the outside, on one side to eventually get it in. Getting ready to post the video and contact GD. ! NOT HAPPY

BTW, GD states that the "gap" at the bottom is normal and OK. So much for 50% seal compression being within spec... This was after I sent them a photo of my hand slide in between the slide out and the trailer wall. They said this was because I inserted my hand below the floor line. I sent them another photo with my hand slid in above the floor line...crickets...nothing.

I don’t think GD knows what they are doing. Our slide is in a twist and I can slide my hand under the floor of the slide above the carpet floor. I am just wondering when they are going to have a recall. With the top leaning out and the bottom not out the whole way how long till the slide tips out of the trailer completely?

The SRT team from Grand Design came and replaced the tracks and motors on the slide. It worked. They left. We went for a walk through of our unit and it failed. The top went out 6” further than the bottom. Our dealer said they are done. They don’t know what else to do. Grand Design wants to take it back to the factory. There goes our winter vacation. Grand Design said the slide motors shouldn’t make any real noise till it gets to the end of travel. Then 2 or 3 clicks. Call your dealer before out of warranty as it is a expensive fix. We bought extended warranty but still on factory as not a year old. We consider this unit a total loss. Asking the factory for a replacement.

@@rustystrong6816 The SRT came out and tried to fix ours and gave up stating that it needed to go back to the factory. The factory didn't correct the out-of-square issue with the room. They actually damaged our trailer in transit. So, on the 3rd cycle after it was shipped back to the dealer, the shoe broke off (again). Plus the slide out leaks now. I handed all of the documents to a lawyer yesterday. I'll be leveraging state lemon laws for full reimbursement. The Sr. managers at GD are terrible. They try to make things sound like it is the customer's fault or that there is nothing wrong...
