Need some input; slide does not stay put
Haven't had an issue in awhile, but got one Im hoping someone has some insight on now. My Lance 2008 981 has 1 slide, a full wall (dinette and fridge). After 100 miles of highway driving, with no rea...

Non-Lance owners have lots of free advice, but I don't think it helps in this case.
If it is a slide similar to my 2007 Lance 1181, full wall + fridge + closet, then the friction needs to be increased at each of the 4 support rollers. Access the inside ones while the slide is part way open, laying on your back on the floor. Access the rear outside one thru the upper side of the rear storage with the wing open (?). On mine the front outside one is accessed by removing the drawers under the closet. You will have to deduce where all your access points are. A socket wrench did the trick. Just tighten enough to prevent the roll out, not TOO tight, however, as the side has to move normally.
Mine used to creep out 2" or so on curvy mountain roads 'till I got the friction set correctly. Been three years or so since the problem has occurred but I adjusted several times before that.
