Looking for some ideas on how to even out the bedroom slide. As you can see there is about 3/4" difference from one side to the other.

The bottom two pictures show the slide rails.

Rob,
Did you check the seal around the inside of the slide-out in the bedroom. Unless you are having a binding problem or some other issue, if the seal is tight enough inside, I personally would not make an adjustment. Could open another can of worms.

Rob,
You got me wonderin'....what is the problem you're actually having that caused you to check your measurements? I went and checked mine and there is only a 1/4" difference side to side. Mine is about 27 3/4" average.

The first thing I'd check is to see if the room frame is square. Last time we were at the factory they had a BR slide out of our friends '13 Excel because the room was not square. I far as I know they rebuilt it and it was working fine.

We are on track and plan on seeing you soon near the end of the month in WA!!!! More as we get closer. We'll probably stay at the Puyallup Elks again. rockin'

Hi Carl, as far as sealing inside in concern, one side of the wood frame around the head of the bed is flat against the wall of the trailer. On the other side of the frame there is a gap between the frame and wall wider than my finger but the seal is in contact with the wall.

There are no leaks or drafts. I was just looking for a way to square up slide.

Hey Tom, my wife seems to notice everything. She noticed the window on one side of the slide was closer to seal than the other side. I made an adjustment to the ram since the slide was sticking our about 1/4" when closed. Fixed that issue, so while I was working under the bed I'd see what I can do about squaring up the slide.

Looking forward to meeting you guys next month.
