Slide adjustment

Hello I have a 2007 3075 the bed room slide is in closer at top than bottom if you use a level on side of slide it looks to be aboute 2" off,I return it to dealer, he told me that the slide control valves were not open all the the way when the trailer was returned to us the bedroom slide is still that way, is this correct to be that way

I can only speak for older models and the way mine works is when the slide comes in it will lean slightly so the top comes in before the bottom. So for some reason if the hydraulics is not pulling the slide in enough I would have that conditions. My model does not have slide control valves like yours but it sounds like that might be a solution based on what I have read about the valves. Also it could be just a simple adjustment.

At any rate your slide is not coming in all the way so some sort of adjustment is in order. The fact the top hits first is probably normal since both of my slides work that way. I think it is designed that way because all of the pull in force is at the bottom of the slide. The lean would help force the upper portion of the seals to seal better than if it did not lean.

Oh, make sure nothing is obstructing the slide from pulling in.

Maybe MIMF can enlighten us.

Bob,
My unit has the same problem. After returning from repairs of the side delamination problem , I noticed that the top of the bedroom slide was tilted in when the slide was extended out. Did you get any info from Dale at Lippert on how to adjust your problem? Maybe I'll just call him too.
Thanks for any info you can give me.
