Ours is a 2008 and we don't have slide problems. When retracting, the first third of travel is up hill and will be slower than the rest of the travel. We try to not load a bunch of weight under the couch and in the slide overhead cabinets. Hope you end up enjoying your Domani as much as we do.
I joined the Carriage forum and found it to be lacking especially compared to this forum. There was very little Domani specific information and all the events were East Coast based. Cancelled out after a year. If I remember right, it cost $20 to join.
