Corner of Slide dragging - Cable slide

Hi,
Parked on a new pad while gate guarding and when it rained the pad sort of sank away into the swamp. Didn't realize it had happened until I pulled the slides in and nothing was aligned correctly any more. Next time we went to set up we had broken and fraying cables. So I've ended up having to replace 4 different cables: one bedroom, one dinette and two kitchen. The bedroom and dinette slides seem to be working fine now. However, on the kitchen slide the refrigerator corner wants to drag on the flooring when I bring it in. It's not digging into the flooring...yet, but it has snagged the floor vent. Nothing seems to be worn or damaged, I'm pretty sure it's just a cable adjustment.


I can't seem to wrap my head around what adjustment is off. It would make sense that if the top cable was too tight then it would tilt down when coming in, but I've tried bringing it in with that cable loose and it still drags. What Am I missing?

Did you check to see if any of the rollers are broken or their supports came undone or loose under the slide (outside). It might not have anything to do cables. If the trailer was under a stress when you pulled the slide in, enough twist and bend in it to mess up 4 cables, it's very possible one or more of the rollers took it really, really tough too. Check them out.

I checked things over when it first happened, but you're right, I need to check it again.
