Slide out not flush to wall on bottom
I recently purchased a 2017 Wolf Pack 315 Pack 12 5th wheel toy Hauler. Like anything used there will issues to be resolved. I know this going in. So my first item of concern is the slide out. Its 12'...

Ratcheting noise at end of travel is normal although if adjusted right, they may not do it when retracting fully.
Gaps are probably and adjusment thing. I would make the sides equal and then make minor adjustments unitl everything is fairly even. Then adjust so the slide retracts a little more. Play with the adjustments to get it right. It really isn't all that complicated and it would be hard to damage anything. I've played with them quite a bit - even on my new trailer. I got it to work better than the factory with just a little experimentation.
Sqealing - Mine did the same thing really bad. Dealer said they all do it and nothing can be done. Pure baloney! I had my wife run the slide in and out while I looked and felt the parts under the RV. The noise is caused by the rubber rollers which are mounted on the smooth section of a simple bolt. The bolt acts as an axle and rubber against metal is going to squeak!
You can see the 2 rubber wheels behind the small gear. Use a jack and some wood to take the weight of the slide off the wheels and remove the bolt/axle. Lube it with some silcone based grease and put it back together. Plumbers grease is the same thing.
Mine was dead quiet after lubing.
