Schwintek Slide Out

Have a 2021 Thor Four Winds 31W with one full side slide out. When retracting I get a bump on the bottom front of the slide out like going over a speed bump. Slide retracts fully. Slide out going out does not have this issue.

Any insight?

You might want to get a good flashlight and a thin long ruler, run it under the slide, from inside the coach, you might be surprised what you might find. Also check exterior rollers, make sure they are in good shape. Check all external rails when open, make sure all bolts are in and tight.

Good luck

We had the same issue, it turned out to be a plastic washing machine plumbing pipe that went into the gray tank. It was an elbow that faced up and got caught on the slide. I replaced it with a flex hose.
