Do the slides have an "emergency lock" ? you know if the slide mech is broke once you get it in, is there a mechanical lock to use?
Some RV's come supplied with adjustable slide lock bars, but it's pretty simple to make one when needed. I made one for a broken slide on a fellow's TT one time from a chunk of firewood.
I have a manual lock I use every time for my large slide. Got in the habit of using it & it is muscle memory now. My smaller back slide doesn't have one, but I carry lots of blocks & pieces of wood, I could make something quick if needed. Worse case I could use a drawer from the rear closet to block the slide.
