I would add: Do you have slide locks? Usually they are adjustable poles that go above the slide wall (when in) and brace against the wall of the unit. This holds the slide in place while you are driving. If you don't, I strongly urge you to get two or three 1x2s and cut them 1/2" longer than the span between the wall and slide, when in. Slide them in to the wall and then tight against the inside of the slide in the front, middle and rear. The slide locks are available at a dealer and should have come with your unit.
FWIW, the slide on my previous 08 Arctic Fox had a lock that was accessed from a little door on the outside rear of the camper. The first 4 years I owned the camper, it wasn't necessary to lock the slide to keep it tight. After about the 4 year mark, my slide would begin to creep out while driving. It wasn't off track, bent, or missing any teeth. It just crept out about an inch or two while on the road. I started locking it from then on, and no more problems. I think most slides have a locking feature. Good luck, Brad
