Going to attempt adjustment Power Gear slide
Well, DW and I had a great weekend trip with the middle son & daughter in-law in from Virginia. Went to Frio river and enjoyed the rain, cold, then bloody maries, cold beer, deep fried turkey and all the fixins.. :B
Cold front came through and wind was blowing pretty strong. I noticed water on the floor at my large slide. Not horrible, but enough that I know something wasn't right. After some investigation I noticed the top of the slide is not sealing against the wall along with the sides from the top down about 1-1 1/2 feet down the wall when extended. It's not a large gap (maybe 1/2" on top) and with the seals being in such great shape there is no wind or cold air coming through that I could tell.
Anyway, I have been searching like crazy and think I found what I need to try and make adjustment (minor each time) to level the room slide and make it seal tight. I have Power Gear slides and the large one has 2 slide out rails that are mounted to the frame of the slide on the far side away from the coach with 1 vertical nut and bolt that appear to adjust the outer side of the slide up or down and 2 horizontal nuts & bolts on each rail that look to lock the slide in place.
I actually noticed this evening at home in the garage the vertical locking nut was hand loose. Never had any problems before or never noticed it and I think the slide has slowly worked its way out of alignment.
Going to make small adjustments and give it a shot to try and keep from making anything non-functional. Hope it goes well.
