DH learned how to adjust the slide cables at the rally. One of ours was slack, so he adjusted it. The slide had not been coming in and out very well. After adjusting the cable, it still wasn't working well, so we took it to BGM RV Repair, a facility local to us.

They determined that the slide was pulling on the wall that the cables were attached to, and when they took off the J-trim and looked inside, they found the weld had broken on the aluminum frame and the stud that the cable was attached to had come loose. The wall was actually moving as the slide went in and out.

They fixed the weld and the stud, but told us to keep an eye on the other slides as they could do the same thing. Leaving it as it was could have caused a lot more damage.

So the morals of the story are: Keystone, perhaps some better welding in the factory might be a good idea; and owners, keep an eye on your slides when putting them in and out. If things don't look right, have an RV tech look at it.
