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...

My 2012 Lance 855S has a slide made by Happijac. As previously mentioned it is the friction type. I have no idea if your slide is the same as the one I have.
But here is how mine is adjusted. There are two rails under the slide, one of the rails has the drive motor and one friction adjuster. The other rail has two adjusters. The adjusters are tightened or loosened for the desired effect. Look for two 3/8" nuts mounted on the outboard side of the rail that does not have the motor mounted to it. As Rick mentioned bring the slide in about half way, laying in the floor locate the two inside adjuster nuts and tighten about 1/2 turn. Then go to the motor driven rail and locate the one adjuster nut and tighten it same amount.
I use a 1/4" drive socket set, a 12" extension, a wobble fitting, and a 3/8" socket
Hope I didn't confuse you, after proof reading this I think I'm confused. lol Maybe this will help.
If you tighten it to much the slide will stop/go as you are moving it. Just loosen the nuts until it moves without cycling on/off.
