Page 5: In-Wall Slide-Out Chassis Specification
In-Wall Slide-out Chassis Specification Slide-Out Configurations This section will show Lippert In-Wall slide system setups. In-Wall Slide-Outs For laminate trailers with rollers mounted to the floor (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2), one standard outrigger is to be placed at the beginning and end of each slide room opening. A minimum of two slide outriggers will be required under each slide room. -
Page 6: Recommended Wall Construction Or Equivalent
Standard outrigger placement will apply every 48” for laminate trailers with at least 6” of wall structure under the slide room floor and rollers mounted on the wall (Fig. 3). For stick and tin trailers (Fig. 4), one standard outrigger is to be placed at the beginning and end of each slide room opening. -
Page 7: Fifth Wheel Lippert In-Wall
Fifth Wheel Lippert In-Wall The room opening in (Fig. 5) will be the same except for using 1" x 5" .070" (25.4mm x 127mm 1.78mm) aluminum for the header and 1" x 3" .070" for the vertical uprights. Header should extend 2' (61cm) beyond the room opening. -
Page 8: Upper Deck Slide Room Opening
Upper Deck Slide Room Opening If a fifth wheel has a Lippert In-Wall slide opening in the upper deck area, the bottom cross tube should be equal to, or longer than, the header tube. If additional height is needed, the manufacturer will need to add another cross tube that is .060"... -
Page 9: Slide Room Opening Bottom Section
Slide Room Opening Bottom Section The bottom tube in the slide room can be .040" (1mm) aluminum unless it falls into the wheel well or upper deck area as explained in the "Upper Deck Slide Room Opening" section. This piece is typically removed when installing the Lippert In-Wall slide, depending on how the side wall sets in relation to the floor (Fig. -

Backers are to be incorporated into slide room construction, positioned where the In-Wall gear racks will be mounted. LCI recommends the backers be a 1" x 3" .060" (25.4mm x 76.2mm 1.5mm) aluminum that is wood stuffed. See diagram (Fig. 9) of slide room with backers. The backers do not need to be stuffed with wood if the aluminum wall thickness being used is at least .125". - Page 11 2" wide. The interior tube must be a minimum of 3" wide. For stick and tin builds (Fig. 11), LCI requires a 1" x 4"...

Page 12: Installation
Installation The instructions are for a one slide-out located on either the roadside or curbside of the unit (Fig. 8). The instructions cover the configurations of controllers and user interfaces: auto-program motorized or towable controllers paired with rocker switch. Mechanical Components Install Lippert Components-approved floor rollers. - Page 13 Verify the weight of the slide-out is supported by the floor rollers (Fig. 13) and not the slide-out mechanism. NOTE: It is recommended that aluminum or hard plastic wear strips be placed between the floor rollers and the bottom of the slide room floor to prevent the weight of the room from creating drag points on soft surfaces of the underside of the room.

Fig. 25 Pre-Operation Check The Slimrack controllers are equipped to help troubleshoot the system during installation. It is important that the slide-out motors be plugged in to the proper receptacles on the controller. See figure 26 for proper slide-out motor designations. Failure to properly connect the motors to the controller will result in problems for future troubleshooting. -
Page 21: Operation

Page 24: Electrical Override Mode
Electrical Override Mode Auto-Program Motorized or Towable Controller For major faults, the auto-program controller will automatically enter "Emergency Jog" mode when motor movement is not detected by the controller, in either direction, during slide-out activation. When in Emergency Jog mode, the controller will jog both motors in the direction the switch is pressed (IN or OUT). The switch may need to be pressed multiple times to fully retract or extend the slide-out. -

B. Torquing the motor retaining screw to 40 in lbs. (Fig. 32) with the motor retainer fully engaged. C. Using a transit bar (slide-out locking bar). Have the slide-out room serviced by the OEM-authorized dealer as soon as possible. Do not operate slide-out room until service is complete, as damage to the slide-out room may result. - Page 26 When manually retracting the slide-out room, make sure that both sides of the slide-out room move together. Damage to the slide-out room may result if movement is not uniform. 1/2” Manually retract the slide-out room by turning the square drive shaft of each vertical channel assembly.
