Hello all. I have a 2007 Expedition 38L with a bedroom wardrobe slideout issue . It is a Powegear system with two rails but can't find the model number to match up with any technical info drawings or Tip sheets The issue is when fully extended the slideout seals against the RV wall at the bottom but not the top. Fully retracted it seals equally against RV wall at top and bottom. Looking for adjustment/alignment advice
Thanks

When out... is it not sealing as in you are getting water in side the coach or air drafts? Or is this more it just does not look right?

There is about a 2" gap between Slideout and RV wall at top, it seals against RV wall at bottom. There is an air leak, no water leak so far

That sounds more like a bad motor then a slide adjustment. Because to me that is etheir a build defect or the top slide motors are not running at the same rpm as the bottom ones.

Is this a new coach... or new to you? If it is someone knew this and set the alignment to the outside seal. If not then to me it sounds like the motors are going bad/running slower.

Not saying I am an expert on this just simple logic.

Thanks, this is a 2007 Fleetwood Expedition. 38L with 4 slide outs.
We've had it about 9 months and put about 10k miles on so far, traveling since May.
The alignment seems to have changed over time. There is only one motor for this slide and it seems to run fine, actually under less load judging by sound and speed, compared to other 3.
