Bed separating from wall

The bed has separated from the wall in my 2007 3400RL twice. I essentially disassembled the bed the first time and rescrewed it back to the wall. It has just recently reseparated and I am thinking that I didn't reattach it properly. Each time it happens it is preceeded by the top not sliding out with the bottom. I have pushed on the top to see if it was binding and it pushed out easily. I can't figure out what is going on. Has anyone had this problem and if so how did you fix it?

Do you have a slide topper on the slide? If so maybe it's binding up.

There is no slide topper and when I push the slide from the top it moves freely. I'm on the way to the storage to disassemble the bed and try to find the problem.

My bed also came loose from the wall. I have no idea why. When I fixed it I used molly screws I think i used 5 of them never came off again. I also re-enforced the frame of the bed.

Ours did the same thing. We found the rollers on the bed had come loose. Reinstalled the rollers and all was well when we got rid of the 2005 3400RL. We had to reattach the bed to the wall also.

I found that the frame was stapled when constructed at the factory and the staples had failed to hold. I used screws just about everywhere I thought they should go and I think I have solved the problem. Of course only time will tell. Thanks guys for your input.
