Your problem is simple. Alfa was only built for a few years and they had a multitude of design problems, including the slide mechanism and design. So, while we sold them for a year, I have not worked on one for almost 10 years. We decline to do service on them due to the problem with parts supply on Alfa parts. So, you will be hard pressed to find someone knowledgeable enough to help you out on line or at a service center. The only slide problems on Alfa's that I had to fix was the front main slide. That slide was the cause of most problems. Never had a problem with the rear slide. This is why your best bet is those Alfa forums someone showed you. Doug

btilfan, go re-read my post, where the 2 Yahoo groups are. This is your best place.

does anyone know where and if you can adjust it?

I believe this is the only distributor that may have parts for an Alfa. Doug

If it's a rack and pinion type, check for a broken "shear bolt" in one of the small gears located underneath and at either end of the slide. They're about 2" long by 1/4".
Sometimes just one end of a bolt will brake so you have to make sure both the head and the nut end of the 2 bolts are present.
It's also possible for teeth to break off.

They are not a rack and pinion and his problem is not closing at the top.Only thing it can be is something is in the way of the slide

Then what type are they?
If hyd then they can have their own issues that will keep it form full movement in either direction.
There is more than one possibility of a failure mode.

First the manufacture of the Rv is out of business. The maker of the slide rail is not, they are still in business.


If I were you, I would signup with these 2 yahoo Groups.

We have one of the biggest support groups for Alfa Rv Motorhomes.

On the other hand if your brother is not a DIY'er then:
Leisure Coachworks in Fontana, Ca. (former workers of the Alfa MH)

Charlies Service in Sunset, Ut.

Another one in Bossier, La. for this one you need to join the Yahoo Groups.

there is something keeping it from going out all the way check all around the slide edge
