Slide Slopping

[jljones]

I have a 37' Knoble Esquire and the large slide sloppes down on the outside. How can I fix this? The slope is about4-5". The slide slides in ok though. Thank you for any help I can get. I am by myself after 7 years of full time rving and being a female I can't do a lot. Oh how I miss it.

I assume you mean "slope" and not slop. Is it extending all the way out and then it angles down? Perhaps the slide framework has broken that keeps it from tilting downward when fully extended.

Welcome to the forum. Doubtful if anyone could give you a good answer without looking at this one. However, I suggest including a little more info so we know what you have. What year model and which slide are you referring to? Is the slide sloping when partially out of all the way out? The more info you give us.....hopefully the more we can help. rockintom

Opps. fat fingers. Yes, the slide is all the way out. It never grinds when going in or out. And over time it doesn't get any worse.
Would a jack under it help or hurt?

Please go back and reread my post and supply us with answers. Putting jacks under the slide(s) wouldn't be my first choice as you would have to support the frame of the trailer. When you support the slide and not the frame you have the chance of the trailer dropping with load changes, tires loosing air, etc. and then the slide raises and it could cause more damage. rockintom

The trailer is a 96'. Knoble Squier. The slide is the large one with the table and chairs and couch. I don't know about sloping while in or out. I can't get it in right now. One side wants to but the other seems stuck, my son in law is going to look at it and then I'll get back to you. Thank you for all your help. Joy

Thanks Joy.....I think it's a good idea for someone to put the eagle eye on it! If it won't go in now.....it should be pretty easy to diagnose. Do let us know! rockin'
