I know that most of us try our best to give trustworthy advice on this forum. However, with the kind of question you're asking, significant damage and safety factors can come into play. Our best guesses and research may not give you a 100% correct answer.
If it were me, I'd give the slide out manufacturer a call and ask to speak with one of their engineering staff. There are a lot of static and dynamic loads that come into play along with calculating the moment arm of the load. Unless somebody on this forum is a mechanical engineer working for the slide manufacturer, they won't have all the facts to make an informed decision.
