Slideout Level When Extended ?

[mtpocket2]

Are your slideouts level when extended. Mine definetly has about an inch or two of lean when the couch/dining table is extended. Is this normal or do I need the dealer to adjust it?

mtpocket2,
All 4 of my slides have a SLIGHT lean to them as well. I figure they are made this way to help keep moisture from pooling ontop of the slide roof. Also helps to direct water away from the seals and walls of the coach.

Perhaps the main thing to be sure of, is that the slides are sealing sufficiently when extended. All four slides on our 3400 needed to be adjusted in order to be air/water tight - and the main problem was at the top and upper sides. By the way, the warranty does say that slide adjustment and maintenance is a reponsibility of the owner - and not a warranty issue.

It's pretty easy to check that the slides are properly sealing at the top. While extended,simply use a small mirror to peer down on the top and upper back portion of the slide from the inside. You will be able to see if the inside weather stip is adequately compressed - ours are white rubber that is attached to the inside walls around the slide opening.

Dave you win the prize for that reply. That was almost the exact answer I received when I asked that same question at the rally last year in Goshen.
I have seen people put jacks under the slide to level them out and that is a HUGE NO NO.
