There is no way around it, camper slide-outs compromise structural integrity.Being said,I offer two factors that can attribute to stress cracks on slide opening corners.First possible is, over-tightened rear turnbuckles(tork-lift,etc.). Second, My experience is that electric corner jacks will retract at different rates when Remote is pressed -for all up or down.Having one your rear jacks off the ground, retracting faster than others stresses camper framing.you might notice on your camper that rear door, slides work best when all jacks have similar downward engagement.
So is this something you dreamed up “might” be an issue or was there a real world genesis for your post?
I’m a rookie, only had 3 campers with slide outs now, 2 of which were TCs with full wall slides. One Al frame one wood frame. Never an issue.
