Michael came out to our fifth wheel on a Tuesday morning to diagnose a dead 12-volt system. Turned out the converter had failed and a bad ground was draining the batteries. He replaced both, rewired the ground, and tested every circuit in the rig. Fair price, solid work.Robert K.October 2025

What Is RV Slideout Repair?
RV slideout repair covers the drive system that moves the room (electric rack and pinion, cable, or hydraulic), the seals that keep weather out when it is extended and retracted, and the alignment that keeps the box square in the opening. A stuck slideout can strand a rig, so it is our most urgent non-AC call.
Because it is mobile, the work happens wherever the rig is sitting. There is no drop-off window, no shop queue, and no waiting for a service department to fit you in. That matters most on the failures that make a rig unusable, which in this category is the majority of what we are called for.
When Do You Need RV Slideout Repair?
These are the symptoms that bring people to this page. If you recognise one of them, the system needs a look before it takes something else with it.
- Slideout moves partway then stops or binds
- Motor hums but the room does not move
- Room sits crooked, or one corner leads the other
- Water intrusion along the slideout seal after rain
- Grinding or clicking from under the floor during travel
Our Process
Every job follows the same five steps, in the same order, whether it is a twenty minute fix or a full day.
- Describe the symptom. Call 772-356-1760 and tell us what the rig is doing. We give you a likely cause and a ballpark range before we come out.
- On-site diagnosis. We test rather than guess. Parts get replaced because a measurement said so, not because it is the usual suspect.
- Firm quote. You get an exact price for the actual fault before any work starts, and you are free to decline at that point.
- Repair on site. The truck carries the common parts for this service, so most jobs are completed during the same visit.
- Test and hand back. We run the system under load, confirm the fault is gone, and walk you through what failed and why before we leave.

Final price depends on the rig, the parts required, and how far the fault has spread. You get a firm quote confirmed on site before any work starts, and there is no charge if you decide not to go ahead.

What Our Customers Say
4.8 stars from 189+ reviews across Indian River and Brevard counties.
Our travel trailer had a persistent leak under the kitchen sink that two other shops couldn't find. Michael traced it to a hairline crack in the cold water line behind the wall. Fixed it in under two hours and didn't charge us for the diagnosis since the other shops had already failed. Honest guy.Sarah T.January 2026
Called Fellsmere RV Repair about our slideout that wouldn't retract. Michael drove out the same afternoon, found a worn gear in the motor assembly, and had it replaced within three hours. The slideout runs smoother now than it did when we bought the rig. Highly recommend.James M.February 2026
RV Slideout Repair Questions
Most slideout jobs run $110 to $720. A diagnostic with an alignment check is $110 to $175, a motor replacement is $385 to $720, and seal replacement is $210 to $460 per slide. Hydraulic work runs $420 to $980.
A diagnostic is about an hour. Motor, gear, and cable work runs 2 to 4 hours. Hydraulic pump or cylinder repair is 3 to 5 hours. Emergency manual retraction to get you movable again takes 1 to 2 hours.
Yes. Manual retraction is the first thing we do on a stuck slide so the rig is safe to move, and that runs $145 to $260. We then quote the permanent repair separately once the room is secured.
Motors are almost always replaced rather than rebuilt, because a rebuilt motor on a room that heavy is a repeat failure waiting to happen. What matters more is finding why it failed, since a binding room burns out the replacement too.
The wiper and bulb seals harden and take a set over time, especially in Florida sun, so they stop making contact against the sidewall. Seal replacement is $210 to $460 per slide and usually solves it without any structural work.
Amp draw on the motor, a squareness and level measurement at all four corners, inspection of the rack, gears, cables, or hydraulic lines, a seal condition check, and a written quote before any parts are fitted.
A room that binds partway, a motor that hums without moving, a corner that leads or lags the other side, grinding under the floor, or water along the seal after rain all mean it should be looked at before it jams completely.
