We have again a problem with our door side slideout on our 2011 Cameo 37 RESL. Two years ago, my husband replaced the motor and it worked well, but it happened again, and it will not open or close. My husband will do it again and wants to do it right so it will last longer. I was reading on the forum about Chuck invention of the plates that he fabricated for the slide supporting bearings (forum is from few years ago), I was wondering if Chuck still has some extra plates that we could buy or order, or someone has more information about it, we would appreciate it. Thanks Hanna

Those bearings and plates really work well. I got one set that I put in. If you cannot find them, a simple large radiator hose clamp, a decent amount of grease, a big washer and a cotter-pin-clip will do almost as well for several years – much better than oem that allows too much movement, skipping of gear cogs, and eventual gear fracture. That is what I used before the fella in Canada made a few. Forget his name, but a great buy.

Thank you so much for the advice, I will let my husband know, still hoping for the plates
CLOC-AdminWere you able to find out about the plates and bearings for your slideout per post 61881? I’ve had the same problem with gears slipping because of movement of 12 tooth gear and looking for a permanent solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jerry,I think that person has moved on or has become a very infrequent reader.
Strange as it sounds, the hose clamp showed zero erratic in 5 years of use. Remember, part of either fix is tightening the motor mounting bolts one at a time after adding a bit of blue locktite and be at a time. Mine were lose when my gear first skipped breaking a small gear tooth in the process.

Would you expand on your comment regarding the use of a radiator hose clamp, large washer, grease, and cotter-pin-clip? Not sure what a cotter-pin-clip is. I’m having trouble visualizing it. Any solution even if temporary would be helpful. I still plan to pursue a permanent solution because I have two other slides that could have the same issue.

I fixed my kitchen side slide using a 5″ stainless radiator hose clamp. Applied grease to the shaft. The stainless is rigid enough so it stays in the shape of an oval and allows some spring action. Meant to take a picture before I closed it up but I have a good memory but it is short. So I forgot. I am confident that this temporary fix will last many years. Runs smooth as silk now.
