Hey guys, that kitchen slide is slightly different for a flush floor system than the other two main floor rooms in our units. That system, because the way the kitchen slide is built, is more flush or level with the floor of the coach. That means that the arms at each end of the room go straight across from one frame beam to the other. The arms for the other two are at a 5 degree angle from the beeam on that side the room is on going upward to the beam on the other side.
Therefore, it would stand to reason that if any rooms are going to do any tipping in and out at the top as you go around a corner, would be the two other rooms. If a room is tilting out ward at the top as you go around a corner, there has to be a good reason. That reason, to me, would be that the lag bolts that go thru the room bar and into the floor are loose. Granted, since that room moves mostly straight in and out like our upstairs bed slides and since it has some pretty heavy appliances in it, I could understand how that would happen. But, my guess would be that if that is happening, something is not quite right.
As far as room blocks are concerned, I wouldn't hesitate to use them in an emergency situation as long as you remind yourself somehow that, before you push the switch to extend the slides, you remove that block. If you don't, something will surely get broken!
