On our Rockwood 8318SS, the problem slide is the bedroom slide with the bunks in it. When the slide is in, it almost buts against the bathroom wall. This hides the desk and drawers behind the end of the slide. when you slide it in before a trip, everything is OK. As you drive down the road, some or all of the 4 drawers work their way out. Then when you go to extend the slide, the inside flange of the slide catches on the now-extended drawer(s). A few times we heard a "funny sound" and stopped the slide in time. A few times we broke loose the drawer slide rails at the rear of the cabinet. Now we send one of the smaller kids to crawl across the bed in the slide, crane their neck around the back wall of the slide and check if any drawers are out. If drawers are out, they stretch and reach to push them back in.
I'm thinking of adding some drawer locks to keep this from happening, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
