VerifiedHiCustomer my name isXXXXX has requested that I answer this question for you.
Yes, your slide out was manufactured by RBW Industries and is model # XXXXX It's a single arm slide out that moves the wardrobe and is accessed from underneath the motorhome.
The pin that broke is not intended to act as a shear pin. It's a stainless steel clevis pin that is 1/4" diameter and 1-1/8" long. What has most likely happened is the hole in the shaft where the pin is inserted has elongated. The over sized hole allows the pin to flex as the shaft rotates. The end result is a broken pin. Replacing only the clevis pin treats the symptom, not the cause.
The main cause of the hole in the shaft becoming elongated is mis-adjusted positive stops. The positive stops are designed to prevent excessive travel of the room that would cause damage to the interior or exterior fascia. The stops should be adjusted so they are contacted after the room has fully sealed. If the stops are contacted too soon, the room is still moving at or near full speed. The abrupt stop will cause the hole in the shaft to elongate.
My suggestion would be to replace the shaft and clevis pin and then re-adjust the positive stops. You can contact some knowledgeable people for parts at this link HERE.
Below are two drawings that will provide you with a location of the positive stops and an exploded parts view of the system.
Please let me know if you have additional questions regarding your slide out.
Sincerely,
Dale W.
