What i mean is.That when the slides are half way way in they stop.I wait 5 seconds then hit the button again and they finish coming in.

Yeah, that's what mine do. Did your dealer know about that? Did they fix it? Do you know what causes it?

What do you mean by it pauses half way through? My dealer told me also that either slide will go first or whatever, and that the lighter one will generally go first. I have posted on this, but incase you haven't seen it, my slides throw the breaker coming in. They both start to come, then the little one stops. The big one continues until all the way in, then the little one starts again. But before I get them all the way in the breaker will pop, and then reset itself at least twice. It's never done it putting them out. As far as the original question, which seals are you talking about? The big one's that drag the side and top of the slide, or the little ones attached to the slide itself. I have seen a tiny hole in the top corner of the little seals that are attached to the slide. It looks as if something is behind it and puctured it when it closes tight. Also on mine when it is closed those same seals look to be smushed tighter at the top, and barly pressed near the bottom. Is that normal?


It is the little ones attached to the slide itself. Probably punctured in 4-5 spots, mainly on the big slide. I haven't noticed a difference at the top vs. bottom, with the way they are smushed. It's even all the way around. I wonder if yours needs adjustment.

You have a 2009? I didnt know that was available already. we have a 2008 and we just got it in March. Is everything the same?

We had one drawer bracket break, the one under the stove. We put one pot and one cast iron pancake skillet in and it snapped. It's funny because their brocure shows like 5 pots in there, and I'm like "yeah right". I know keep all my lightweight things in there and the cookwear under the sink.

Other than a couple minor things I'm really happy with it. Just a little worried about these slide issues.

Thanks for the input everyone, keep it coming. I love comparing notes just to make sure everything is normal....

I think the only diff. in an 09 and 08 is just that. One says 2008, and the other says 2009. I haven't had any problems other than the slides not coming in without throwing a breaker. I did notice one small hole in the seal like I said. Please let me know if you get that worked on at your dealer, and what they do for you.

I put my Bible in the night stand drawer and the bracket broke, a week later the other one on the other side of the bed broke.

I dont have any puntures in my slide seals. My bunkhouse slide has started seeping out again though,I guess I have air in the lines again.

Hey Sprinter 311BHS owners... we have a 2007 and have had a few minor problems. Our slides work fine, but the bunk slide definately goes out first. There is no sticking, or pausing however, and no bolts coming through.

Our TV did not work at first, Keystone shipped direct to me and I had to install it..(2 hours from our house to dealer). Now, a year and 1 month later, the Microwave does not work... does not make popcorn pop, doesnt even warm leftovers (anyone have an idea about that?).

Other than that we have been super happy with our trailer... I am wondering about the comments about the kitchen table... when we put it down as a bed (first time we needed to was one month ago) we could not figure out the cushion arrangement...I know that sounds funny. But they did not fit.

Our tires, were so cracked we had them replaced at the dealer before we drove it home. It almost appeared they had been sitting outside in direct sunlight for months. The originals would not even have made the trip home.
