I have not, but you need to look at the slide mechanism under the bed before you go too far. on my alpine (keystone peer to the montana) the hydraulic ram under the bed and the frame attached to the slide is pretty substantial.
and on my trailer, the measurements are pretty tight..
there is a mechanical stop to insure you don't bring it in or out too far..(I have a slide on the other side too) the interiors of both slide will JUST touch when pulled in.
We caught a drawer on attempt to push the slide out and bent the metal assembly.. so I am quite familiar with it now..
also near new, the (spot) welds that held the ram to the frame broke, so the slide didn't work at all..
