Slider stuck at top

A week into an extended trip, we arrived at a new site tonight and our bedroom slider seems to get stuck at the top after it moves out about a foot. The bottom keeps moving so that the slide starts to tilt at an angle inward. We’ve tried checking for obstructions, pushing, etc, but no luck. Help
Please! 2008 3000RK

Also check to see if your cables on the slide are not gummed up or needing adjustments.

Have you checked to make sure something is not on the floor blocking it?

Nothing on the floor is blocking it.

A 2008 model should have hydraulic slides so won't have cables.

Thank you!, DQDick! This was the issue. Went up on the roof and tugged on the topper. Now everything is working smoothly and we’re all set up!

Fortunately we didn’t have to as far as checking cables this time... Thanks for your suggestion to Post separately about this issue and not leave my problem buried in another thread!

The hydralics for the slide should be under your bed. If you take out the floor of the storage area you'll see it there. That's why you haven't seen it.
