Slide retracting and extending.

I see so many threads here about slide problems, stuck, broken, won't work, ect., that I decided to post a little tip for any or the new people that haven't found it out yet. One of the best things to reduce the load when retracting or extending slides, especially the biggr ones, is to OPEN A DOOR. It is amazing how much air needs to be moved in or out with the slide. If you are closed up tight, it actually build a lot of pressure. with a door or window, you can easily feel the amount of air that is moving. In our case, you can actually notice the difference in how fast the slide moves with a door open.
