Our 3800RE has the fridge about three feet in from the corner of the slide so that the slide topper brackets are all mounted the same...ie, on the very top area of the slide BUT NOT on the slide flange area. Of course, since you saw that the factory had done it to several units that were on the lot then someone at the factory thought it okay. It isn't like there is a lot of tension being applied to the mounting points from the slide toppers... I just my question would be 'did the factory put some kind of backing structure behind the flange when they installed the slide topper in that area? Not much help to you, just thoughts. John
