6. Verify that the path of the slideout is unobstructed
and free from any surrounding objects, both inside
and outside of the coach. This includes any water or
debris that may have collected on the slideout roof or
the topper awning.
Before operating any slideout, read and follow the warning labels and operation instructions posted in your coach.

SLIDEOUTS
This chapter provides information about electric flat floor, bedroom, kitchen, wardrobe, and full wall slideouts,
as well as hydraulic slideouts.
Extending The Slideouts and
Leveling The Coach
1. Park the coach on a reasonably level
campsite.
2. Leave the coach at ride-height
with air in the air bags (if equipped
with air suspension) or on normal
suspension (coaches without air
suspension).
3. Plug the coach into shore power (if
available) or start the generator to
increase the voltage for better slideout operation.
4. Look at the “reveal” or “gap” of the two vertical
wall trims around the slideouts to make sure there
is plenty of clearance so the trim will not rub when
extending the slideout. If the gap looks good, then
the slideout can be operated.
•
Note: Most often the gap will look best when
sitting on the tires with the air suspension inflated
(at ride-height), and not on the jacks.
Leveling and Full Wall Slideout Sequence of Operation
This article provides step-by-step instructions for leveling the coach and operating the slideouts.
Retracting The Jacks and
Slideouts
1.
Retract the leveling jacks.
2.
Start the coach.
3.
Allow the coach air suspension to fill and return to
ride height (units without air suspension will return to
normal suspension).
4.
Turn the engine o
ff
.
5.
For a full wall slideout, visually inspect the front vertical
trim for adequate clearance. The spacing should look
even from top to bottom (see image for reference).
Debris left on the roof or topper may prevent the
slideout from sealing properly when retracted, as well
as prevent the mechanical lock arms from closing
properly when the slideout is extended.
IMPORTANT
!
In the unlikely occasion that the slideout trim has
inadequate clearances, try leveling or repositioning
the coach and rechecking the clearances before
retracting the slideout.

In the past, Newmar has recommended leveling the
coach prior to deploying the slideouts. As of 2015,
Newmar makes the following recommendation for the
extension and retracting of slideouts.
IMPORTANT
!
Motorhomes, like all vehicles, flex in travel. Flexing may be
di
ff
erent due to terrain and the coach’s fulcrums (resting on
tires or jacks). As the coach flexes, this movement is more
noticeable in the outside reveal on a wider slideout.
5. Verify that the path of the slideout is unobstructed
and free from any surrounding objects, both inside
and outside of the coach.
6. Once the appropriate conditions are met, follow the
operating instructions posted in your coach to extend
the slideouts (image for example only).
7. Dump the air suspension (if equipped). This step
is included in the auto-leveling process for most
coaches.
8. Deploy the leveling jacks.
7. Retract the slideouts. Inspect all slideouts for
complete retraction.
8. If the coach is equipped with manual lock arms, make
sure to lock them.
9. Unplug the coach from shore power when you are
ready to depart.
