Slide question

[Cyrus]

Our large slide, sofa and dinning room table, was not down on the floor like it normally is after a 300 mile trip today. This is the second time I have noticed this with this being the worse. It looks fine on the outside, tight to the body. Could this happen when hittig a hard bump or should I be looking for a problem?

I am always on the lookout for anomalies. If it is weird and I can't figure it out, I call my dealer service manager. He has seen a lot more than I have and has talked me through some simple fixes on the road.

I just put the slides out and everthing worked and seems OK. The only thing I noticed was the top hit long before the bottom but this could be normal since I don't always watch things like I was doing then. Will put it back in latter & see what if this just could be from the ride?

Top and sides should hit about the same time, within a couple of inches anyway, either opening or closing. When you bring it in, does it lay down flat or is it still up? It could be that your slide is out of vertical adjustment. A big bounce or jar might be enough to mess up the adjustment if the nuts weren't real tight.

When the slide is in, I think it should be fairly flat on the floor or just slightly up so that it does not wear grooves in the carpet.

Cyrus,
I had a simular issue when I let them out, battery only. Hooked up and slides work as they should. Turned out to be a weak battery, charged it up and slide worked fine. Steve

The slide is OK when out and tight to the side when in. It goes in and out fine. I think maybe it's been this way all along and not a problem? Since it's on carpet in the back half and not the front half it would make since that the front would have a gap. Getting old and not use the camper as much maybe the mind is playing tricks on me?
