Slide Out Alignment Tips?

Has anyone adjusted the alignment on a living room slide-out? If so, any tips? I was thinking of attempting it myself.

My slide out sometimes doesn't want to retract. It's intermittent. I suspect it might be a slight binding issue. I can usually push on it to get it started and it goes. One time my son and I had to push it all the way manually. It just started doing it a couple months ago after a weekend when we had a lot of guests in the RV. I lubricated the track and it works better, but still get's stuck every once in a while.

The slide has an electric motor hidden in a sealed compartment underneath. I may remove it this weekend to check it out.

Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks!

  • Mine was going in and out but struggling at times so I marked all the starting points before changing anything so I could go back if needed. Mine had sagged on one side and after playing around with it I was able to make it much better.
