I have a 2008 1181. I had the exact same problem when it was brand new. I tried adjusting the tension and nothing worked. I think Happijac is the manufacturer of the slide mechanism. They make a little electromagnetic lock that goes on the end of the slide motor that works FANTASTIC. I don't remember the cost, probably less the $50. You just open the door, reach under the slide when it is retracted and mount this little piece of hardware on the end of the motor. You do need to wire it in to the power leads on the slide motor. When it senses current it releases the lock and allows the motor to turn. When not energized it locks the motor in place and all the slide creep problems or gone. I was amazed that it was not included as a standard item on the camper. It is really a very easy fix for an annoying problem.
