Slide out adjustments?

The main living room slide is causing damage to the linoleum floor covering where the corners of the slide move over.


Is there any adjustment to get the slide up a bit more when in motion?

Thanks :D



My truck does just fine for 95% of our towing. It manages for the other 5%, but it would be nice to give it some extra grunt at times.


And, it and the fifth wheel are paid for...

Agree, just not sure if that would give me enough extra power. Certainly would be on the lower $$ side of things.

Will work on that.



Might take a bit of time as my camera probably needs to have the battery charged.



Then, I have to figure how to get the photo from the camera to here.

Thanks everybody

Thanks for the replies so far.


The opening does not have a fan, so not concerned with that factor.


I will most likely go with an inside cover with the fan and thermostat controls built in,...

Add a second A/C??

Anybody install a second A/C unit in their rig??


We were out last week, and the single A/C in the main area was totally inadequate for the job. It even froze up once.



We have a vent...

Thanks for the reply.

That is my big concern......


Also, I wonder if the Montana folks used the same A/C units for all models that year or do I need a specific brain box for each potential model of A/C??
