How do you adjust bedroom slide up?

[larryjb2]

My bedroom slide is about 1/2" low on the left side looking at the coach from the outside.You can see that the decals don't line up with the body decals.The bottom trim should fit flush but on the left side it can't because of the misalignment.
I've included pictures and have looked at the slide mechanism under the bed but don't see anything that would raise or lower one side.
Hopefully someone has an answer on this.
The slide does seal correctly in both extended and retracted positions.

You are looking in the wrong place. The height is determined by 3 rollers fixed to the floor close to the outside wall. If you look under the extended slide-out you should see marks where the rollers rest when the slide is in. You may need to get these replaced. In the mean time you can add a piece of plywood under the floor to raise it, like I did.

How did you add the piece of plywood.I think my problem is the particle board floor got wet and the right top roller doesn't have anything firm to rest on.

I just screwed the plywood up in to the floor of the slide. If your floor got wet the rollers probably compressed the floor under the weight of the slide and the proper solution is to have the floor replaced. Big job! Hopefully the plywood trick will work in the short term.

So just to get this right,did you add the plywood from the inside,under the bed?
Thanks

The picture I posted shows the underside of the slideout after it is extended. The plywood is screwed to the underside of the slideout floor. The black mark shows where the roller rests when the slide is fully in. In the picture the slideout moves from the left (in) to the right (out).

Thanks Algoma, simple fix.

Applied your fix today and slide is aligned correctly.The decals on the slide and body now match.I had some 1/4" pvc ceiling tile left over and used it instead of plywood.
Thanks again!
