Slide Adjustment

Can the slides on the Alpine be adjusted? Thank you

Check online for the manufacturer of the slide mechanism. Many are adjusted by running them in and out to the stops, but check for instructions first.

Depends--but you need to define "adjusted?"

Old Scout. One corner is hitting the floor tile when we let the slide out and has started to crack the tile

That's a whole different issue than I was headed for. I was talking about making both sides move at the same time and in synch.

From your other post about removing tile floor I think you are asking about adjusting the main street side slide. I have a cracked tile where the rear vertical trim board was hitting the floor when extending the slide. I improved the alignment on mine but it still needs a bit more adjustment. The ACA tech library has a drawing of the slide mechanisim and shows the adjustment points. What I learned from previous posts was that if the paint stripes on the outside line up and the side wall gaps with the exterior wall were even and parrallel it is probably good. There are also some plastic shims or wear pads in between the square slide suport tubes that can be worn or damaged and this causes mis-alignment or excess tipping of the slide.
