Need some help with a slide that has one bottom corner that does not retract fully. On my 2020 40VBH it's my passenger side slide. The bottom rear corner of the slide it about a half inch from sealing. I have run it out and back in three times waiting a few seconds with the button depressed when fully extended in hopes it learns the correct limit. Any one have any direction on how to reset the slide so it retraces fully?

Here's a big never mind. After an hour of searching, reading manuals, poking and looking in dark corners, even leaving Woody a message on the Renegade Tech line and of course getting hot in the 100% Florida humidity and heat, I discovered the problem. The solution? It goes something like this...

Me: "Honey, you are sure there is nothing blocking the slide?"
Wife: "I'm 100% certain.
Me: "Are you sure you are sure?"
Wife: "For the last time yes!"

Flash forward an hour and I find the AC plug for the cordless Dyson we carry had some how found its way to the bottom front left corner of our bed. It was just large enough to interfere with the slide's final sealing. Moved it and said a choice word or two. Ran the slide in and out a few times. Naturally a perfect close and seal.

No sure this is worthy of a sticky to be sure, but just goes to show it can be the simplest of things that can cause great worry and tribulation. I look forward to calling Woody in the morning to let him know what happened.
