Does your level change as slide goes out??
We have a 2014 Forest River Cherokee 264L with all Lippert components. If we set it up dead level on the wheels, then put the stabilizers down, and then slide out the slide as you are supposed to, it leans significantly towards the side of the slide.
I have learned I have to level it "crooked" on the wheels by almost 3/4 inch for it to be level when the slide is powered out. I have even modified a 4' level with a bolt and washers on one end that is "calibrated" to the amount of offset we need initially.
We have had it 22 months and spent 65 nights in it, on grass, gravel, paved, and concrete surfaces. From the first set-up and everyone since then this holds true - you have to stabilize it unlevel so that it ends up level with the slide.
The stabilizers are a single unit on the rear and a single unit on the front - the type where left and right go down together as part of a single unit and adjust to the terrain before applying pressure to the ground. I bent one of the legs on the front one this summer and replaced the entire unit and this un-leveled level situation remains.
I know this isn't an expensive top of the line trailer, and the slide is quite large at 16' long and almost 3 feet deep. This is easy enough to manage, but still I've never seen this discussed anywhere.
Do others have this issue?
