Welcome the both of you to irv2. Now that one of you has solved the problem maybe it will help the other. The simplest answer works most of the time with these rolling adobes.
Enjoy the forums and DO post often.

hey heavy,There is an adjustment for the slide.Your slide is rubbing on the bed frame.Look behind the water tank and see a flat metal piece coming up from the floor with one bolt in a slit on each side.Put a small hydrolic jack under it with a piece 0f 2x4 on the jack .Crank on it till it is snug under the top piece(horizontal)to hold up the slide mechanism.Loosen the adjusting bolts untill semi loose .Jack up about 1/16 of an inch .Tighten both bolts so the slide is not on the bed fram and THERE YOU HaVE IT. 304-267-3411 if you need help. See ya. Johnny G
