Does anyone know how to adjust the passenger side of the bedroom Slide-Out? I need to adjust the heigh of the slide so that it is square with the opening. Right now the front of the slide is touching the outside motorhome frame while the rear of the slide is approx 5/16 inch above the frame. This slide-out is different from the other three slide-outs and things are pretty well hidden or out of sight.

I have made a temporary repair which consisted in placing a 1/4 inch thick piece of floating floor on the side of the slide-out that need to go up (on the bedroom floor over the carpet). So prior to closing the slide-out, I hold this piece of floating floor against the roller and as the slide move in, it climbs onto it and raises that side of the slide-out by 1/4 inch.

Can we tilt that slide-out like the big living room slide-out by using a piece of 2 by 6 on the roof of the slide-out? Upon closing the slide-out, the bottom of the slide will go in, but the top portion is going to be stopped by the 2 by 6 which is going to tilt the slide so that you can gain access undernat and possibly put shims underneat the roller brackets to provide for proper height adjustment of the slide-out.

Regards,

Can you look under the slide where the brackets attach and see if you can tell where it may have slipped down? Sometimes there will be bare metal visible.

There has been some discussion on this slide because of slide not fitting flush to the bedroom wall when fully opened.
Can't find this info but are you sure one of your rollers may have not come off its roller bracket dropping that side of slide or worse the floor for slide has become bowed because of weight.
