slide adjustment
Below is the email that I've sent to Crossroads. They said they could not advise me; take it to a dealer. Any OTHER suggestions from the forum?
Hi.
I have a 2008 29CK fifth wheel that the bedroom slide retracts slightly slower on the forward side when it first starts retracting. It seems that that forward side is initially catching on something, as it visibly lifts upwards maybe a half inch before it starts sliding inwards; thus causing it to have a little later start than the other side. After the initial upward lift, the whole slide works smoothly. When the slide is fully extended, it sits slightly lower (1/2") on the forward side than the rearward end.
When the slide is out and I look under the edge of the bed where the "lip" of the floor is, I see a vertical bracket on each side that has two bolts placed vertically with heads of approximately 9/16". Could this be where I need to slightly adjust the height of the forward side, while supporting the slide outside?
I don't really know which type of slide mechanism is installed in our CK, unless I take the bed apart which I'm reluctant to do unless I have to. Lippert suggested that I have several posiblities of mechanisms (see their message pasted below). Could you also tell me which one is installed?
I consider myself very "handy" and can and have fixed most things on the RV myself. This is NOT a major problem yet, but I would like to fix it before it does any damage. Any adjustment help would be greatly appreciated!
