Link to slide adjustment LR slide

In the quick & easy mods 1&2, the "slide adj LR slide" links to a conversation about the economy in 2008.

Does someone have the directions to adjust the living room slide?

Thanks in advance.

The pic below shows what I think is out of adjustment, the slide is lower on each end then the center. Also the top is tighter on the sides then the bottom. I think I have found the bolts to adjust but wanted to read the directions if their are any. Installing hardwood floors and want to get the slide out right before hand.

Looks like the slide floor is bowing from rollers in center out of adjustment or shimmed by someone.
Some slide floors were known to bow after manufacture, may want to give Newmar a call.
The bolts you are talking about maybe the stop bolts for travel of slide out and in which are the stop rods with double nuts to lock for distance traveled.
Pictures of slide rods.
That link is incorrect for slide adjustment Its my version, correct info is in this old slide spec, in trouble section, page 7, for adjusting slides.
Your slide floor is bowed and adjusting will not help floor needs reinforcement, to make flat.

When I bring the slide up the ramp onto the main floor the bow comes out and the slide out front edge is level. Also, when the slide is all the way out the center roller is in the air and not touching the ramp.

Floor looks bowed with slide out in picture, did you remove rug under couch?

Yes, all the carpet is at the dump. And yes the slide out is higher in the middle only when extended. The center roller is in the air. The floor of the slide out becomes level once the slide out rollers come up the ramp part way.
