I got lucky I guess, The full wall slide decided to jam but at least it waited until I got home and did not strand me or add to the normal stress of breaking camp and getting home on a Sunday night. When I got home I extended the wall to facilitate unloading the coach at our front door instead of lugging stuff from the barn, A whole 150 feet! Our driveway is not perfectly level but it is not on a hill either. The slide went out about as smoothly as it normally does but when I went to retract the wall to move the coach to the barn, the aft end only came in about 4 inches and stopped, the forward end wanted to continue but of course I stopped right away and extended it again. I tried a couple of more times but no luck. I decided to move the coach to the barn so I carefully drove it the 150 feet to a perfectly level concrete floor and tried it again with no luck. Even on a level deck the left side is always a bit low with the slide out so I leveled with the jacks to see if that made a difference and it still did not. The wall extends and levels with the coach floor and the seams are all even at the seals. When I retract it, it seems to raise evenly and begin to slide in but the aft end stops after 4 inches. I am wondering if there are DIY instructions anywhere on wall slide trouble shooting and adjustment? I will not take this to the local dealership, I will reverse engineer the darn thing if I have too. getting to the rear chain and cylinder looks to be the most sporty part as the cabinets in the master bedroom look to need to be removed to gain access. I know I recently read a post about a member having the same issue but I hate searching for old threads. Thanks for any help that can be offered.
