Slide out sticking/unlevel?

Post by markj »

I take my 31RKLE to the dealer today to have the slide repaired. Since new (3 months) it's stuck at the top when starting to retract, and the table is unlevel along with the floor. Hopefully, it's just adjustment. Has anyone experienced these problems?

Wow Mine is in for it binding at the top over the table area also But mine was fine untill the first time out camping when i went to bring the slide it it bound up and busted the face plate lose and pushed the roof of the slide down.
I think it is just an adjustment, at least i hope it is :roll: Mine was un useable after it bound up. My Booth is level.

My dealer is taking pictures and contacting Forest River. When I brought it in for this trip, it actually went in at least one half inch farther than the side. Mine has major issues, I think.
