RV Slide Gap

Hi all,

I noticed on my '14 Fleetwood that the drivers side and passengers side slides totally seat differently.

The passenger side slide when all the way in compresses a small rubber gasket up against the side of the coach and there is no gap.

The drivers side has a good sized gap on it and doesnt compress this gasket at all. Heck it doesnt even touch the gasket. Is this normal? Is the small outer gasket just there to prevent the slide from rubbing against the coach wall or is that the seal?

Here is a pic of the slide in question. And my finger is there as a reference. It isnt pointing but actually in the gap.

Dealers are funny (not) called to make an appt and described the issue. The adviser sounded so confused and said he's never heard of such a thing before. I said it probably just needs to be adjusted and he again said... I've never heard such a thing. Crazy. Too bad only dealer in my area that can service this. Almost tempted to pay and take to camping world.

I'd get it adjusted - you don't want water to get in there!

Its under warranty as its less than 2 months old. Just a hassle to take it there but if it needs to be done it needs to be done.

slide needs to be adjusted. I don't know how and would not take a chance on getting it misaligned but someone on here might tell you how, Or better, have a dealership do it
