Repair slide <living room is extended and won`t return>
Check to ensure nothing is blocking the slideout, its path or the gears of the motor. If you don't see a dimming of the lights when you push the retraction button or don't hear any motor noise check the fuse for the slideout motor. If all else fails there should be a manual slide retraction option somewhere that allows you to retract the slideout using a crank or a power drill. Check the owner's manual.

Water system was drained for the winter. We can not get fresh water into the holding tank. It was done at a dealer, but they are not open. It will take city water.
Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the problem:
1. Check the Water Pump:
- Make sure the water pump is turned on and functioning correctly. The water pump is responsible for drawing fresh water into the holding tank from an external source.
- Check for any visible signs of damage or blockages in the water pump system.
2. Verify the Tank Fill Valve Position:
- Ensure that the tank fill valve is in the correct position to allow water to flow into the holding tank. The valve may need to be switched from the city water connection to the tank fill position.
3. Inspect the Water Inlet:
- Check the water inlet connection where you fill the fresh water tank. Make sure there are no obstructions or kinks in the hose that could be preventing water from entering the tank.
- If there is a water filter in the system, check if it is clogged and needs to be replaced or cleaned.
4. Test the Gravity Fill System:
- If your RV has a gravity fill system for the fresh water tank, try filling the tank using this method. Pour water directly into the gravity fill port and monitor the tank level to see if the water is entering the tank.
5. Consult the RV Manual:
- Refer to the owner's manual of your Coachmen Elite RV for specific instructions on filling the fresh water tank and troubleshooting water system issues.
I good luck

Slider gear replace broken gear
You will need to determine the manufacturer of the slide mechanism, the diameter and number of teeth on the gear. Once you have all of the information you should be able to order a replacement gear from your local RV parts department. To replace you will need the unit on level, solid ground. Place a good jack close to where the gear is located. The purpose of the jack is to support the slide while the gear is out. Do not try raise the slide more than is necessary to remove the gear. Remove the bolts holding the gear and remove the gear pack. You may need to use pry bars to assist. If so, use a block of wood against the floor of the slide to pry against. Reverse the procedure to install new gear and ensure the timing of the slide mechanism does not jump.

Locating the water heater bypass on forest river 398
Locating the water heater bypass on a Forest River RV, specifically the Forest River Georgetown 398 model, can vary based on the specific layout and design of the RV. However, in most RVs, including Forest River models, the water heater bypass valves are typically located near the water heater unit itself. Here are some general steps to help you locate the water heater bypass on your Forest River Georgetown 398:
1. **Identify the Water Heater Unit:**
- The water heater in your RV is usually located inside a cabinet or compartment, either inside the RV or accessible from the exterior.
- It is commonly found in the kitchen area, bathroom, or an exterior compartment.
2. **Access the Water Heater Compartment:**
- Locate the compartment where the water heater is installed. This could be inside the RV or in an exterior storage compartment.
- Open the compartment door to access the water heater.
3. **Look for the Bypass Valves:**
- Once you have located the water heater, look for the bypass valves near the water heater unit.
- The bypass valves are used to redirect water flow during winterization or maintenance to bypass the water heater.
4. **Check Behind the Water Heater:**
- In some cases, the bypass valves may be located behind or on the backside of the water heater unit.
- You may need to remove a panel or access door to reach the bypass valves.
5. **Identify the Bypass Valve Configuration:**
- The water heater bypass system typically consists of three valves: a cold water valve, a hot water valve, and a bypass valve.
- The bypass valve should be set to bypass the water heater when winterizing the RV or performing maintenance.
6. **Consult the RV Manual:**
- if you have one, refer to the owner's manual or documentation provided with your Forest River Georgetown 398 for specific information on the location and operation of the water heater bypass system.
If you are unable to locate the water heater bypass valves or have difficulty accessing them, it may be helpful to consult with a Forest River dealer or RV service center for assistance.
