How do I move the slide out to the right

It's possible he meant to type "2003 Big Sky Montana" which has hydraulic slides.

Try this first. When bringing your slide in or out, once it has reached that point of in or out continue to hold switch for a few seconds until you hear the motors kick out. This is how you keep both motors on your slide in sinc. Do this every time you use your slide. Like i said do this when going in and out.

This only works on schwintek slides and could cause problems on other slides. If the slideout is an electric with rack and pinon style that well only cause the slide gears to ratchet when the are fully out which is very bad for them to continue doing this. If hydraulic slide when the ram is at the end it is going to cause the pump to shut off and you can hold the button till the cows come home and it isn't going to move anymore.

The OP needs to let people know what type of slide mechanism he has for people to help.

ON EDIT: Roger10378 types faster than I do. :)

This only works on some types of slides. We still need to know which type he has. With the vintage of the trailer in question it is probably a hydraulic slide but we can't be sure.

Have a friend with slide issues just like that. He found out (after much hair pulling) that the builder cut the opening for the slide 1/2" out of square, so the slide was binding. Took some serious shimming and aligning by a very competent dealer to get the out of square opening to allow the slide to slide properly.

Need to look at the opening.

Agree with MFL. I am restoring a Forest River Wildcat and it has a Lippert hydraulic pump to extend and retract the slide. The slide has multiple adjustments underneath for up/down and left right. As was stated, be careful when you make an adjustment because you also changed something somewhere else. One thing I made sure was to mark all the original settings either with a scribe on the metal itself or using a silver sharpie before I started tweaking. This allows you to go back to the original setting if the adjustment was too much or didn't work. As Also stated, there are a bunch of You Tube videos. Sort through them because some are not recommended or won't solve your problem. Good luck - it can be done. ps: when I asked for a quote from the local dealer on adjusting it, they told me it could be anywhere from $200 to $5000 or more, depending on what is wrong, what has to be fixed, etc.

Not all slide systems are the same. You need to figure out the type and manufacturer of the slide. With this info, you should be able to find an on line adjustment video, or picture of adjustments. For example, mine is a rack and pinion electric slide system by Lippert. It has many available adjustments, including side to side. Just be aware, that correcting one adjustment issue, may create another problem else where. A mobile tech would be a good option. This person could easily make the adjustment, and show you, explain the operation, so you may be able to make future adjustments yourself.

It sounds like the slide out slipped the track on one side and left it cockeyed. That said, it is binding. Take it in.
