Full slide

[dawnqmn]

We have a 32 foot Itasca suncruiser with a full slide on one side. I am wondering if anybody has ever used slide out supports. Are these necessary? The slide goes out onto large arms. But I saw an ad for slide out supports in the Camping world catalog. Looking for advice as this is our first class a and the first time we have dealt with a slide this big.
Thank you

I would defer to the owner's manual for the coach. Unless you need to address a specific issue, I would think not as the more modern design incorporates the slide into the structural integrity of the wall.

We had a 2009 Carrlite 36MAX1 that had a 28' slide out, that was referred to as a "Full Wall Slide". We never used any supports under it.

Supports are not needed and your owners manual probably says not to use them. If the rig settles and the supports don't it could compromise the slide. Could even void your warranty if you have one.

Yep, picture your coach sitting there with jacks under the slides, and the tire (s) on that side of the coach go flat. The coach has settled, the outside of the slide has not moved....big mess.
