Slide Creeping out! Any thoughts?

Just finished a shakedown on our new-to-us 2008 Jayco Designer. It's in absolutely great shape, except for the kitchen slide which creeps out at the bottom a couple of inches when driving down the road. Our old rig was a Cedar Creek with hydraulic slides while this one is electric, so I'm uneducated on the mechanics. Any ideas out there as to why this is happening and how to correct it? Any thoughts are most appreciated.

    Sounds like the brake on the slide out motor is released or failed. If you have the owners manual, it should tell you where to look to release the slide out motor brake.

    It's haunted.....after all, it's almost Halloween:B:B

    I would guess that it's vibration. Did they supply any stops for the slides (you would use turnbuckles to hold it in)...we have the pad-eyes on our slide and the floor, so we could hold it in, if it were to creep out.

    You may want to contact Jayco...see what they have to say. Yes, the warranty is long gone, but they are a good company, and should still be able to offer some suggestions.

    Take care:)
    Happy Halloween:B
