It seems every time I get one thing working something else pops up, My Knight has three slides, one large on the road side. I think it is about 18-20 ft. When I put it out the slide seems to angle down as it should and then drop down to level and continues to go out until it stops. When I look at it on the outside it seems to have a gap at the top on one end and a gap at the bottom on the other. When put back in it will to close tight enough for the weather-strip to touch on one end at the bottom but the other end touched all the way but seems to not be tight enough and still sticks out and is not flush like the other two slides when closed.

It seems to not have enough power to close all the way or open all the
way, the motor does not stop but seems under pressure but not enough, the slide seems to stall when the one end touches and does not have enough power to snug it up to the sides. Can I adjust this or do I need to take it to a RV repair shop.

I had mine adjusted at the dealership. There are adjustments but I didn't feel qualified to do it myself.

Might want to read and try this before paying for any adjustment.

Didn't cost me anything, had them do it before I took delivery. At the time I didn't know anything about class A's and slide-outs, but it was very evident to me that the slide-out was not adjusted correctly. When deployed the front end was tight against the inside wall, but the rear seemed to be short. When retracted, the front looked like it wasn't all the way in and the rear looked snug. After they did whatever they did both ends looked better. Now that I've had the coach awhile and looked at the underside of the slide I can see the adjustment points and I assume that's where they made the changes.
