slide out unlevel still

Post by markj »

Hi folks: Well, we camped 4 nights after major warranty work on my slide out (see previous post). All went pretty well, but I have a question. My floor on the kitchen slide is still NOT level--it's better, but the table is noticeably unlevel compared to the rest of the rig. The dealer said it was fine. I'm thinking I might just shim the wall side of the table up level and forget it! Or, should it be level?

How many of you folks have the floor of the coach and slide both at the same "bubble" in the your carpenter's level? Thanx, Mark

Mark, What I would check would be to see if the facia board of the slideout is an even distance from the rig wall top and bottom. This will ensure you have a decent seal to keep out wind, rain, etc and keep your heated or cooled air inside the rig. The seal behind the facia board should not have gaps from the rig wall, but also not pressing hard enough to loosen the facia from the slide. If not even from top to bottom adjustment needs to be made at the outboard end of the slide out arms under the slide. If not sliding out far enough or sliding out too far (trying to loosen the facia) it will need adjustment at the outboard end of the slide out actuator rod (be sure to leave some gap between the nuts for hydraulic creep). Can someone provide the link to Mark for lippert slide adjustment? I am overseas again so don't have my favorites on this machine.

None of the manuals looks like my bedroom unit.

No, I already saw those before. Mine has the ram down the middle of the slide-out's frame.
