The plant manager told me this when I toured the factory after picking up my new Sabre.
He also said that was not a brand specific caution, but that all slides should not be used when retracted.
If one takes a look at how the slide boxes are constructed... It doesn't take Rocket Scientist to understand why.The box is typically made to be light. The floor usually 5/8" or so plywood or OSB, The walls may be even thinner 1/2" or so with a filon skin. Anyone with any woodworking knowledge can tell you that the joint between the floor and the slide wall will not be very strong. When it is retracted it is just hanging in the air. (you don't like the floating word) Using the slide with the front edge unsupported as it would be when deployed, puts all of the weight on this weak joint.
That"s a fact.
You still haven't provided a single link to any documentation supporting your argument so are we to just accept your argument as "fact" simply because YOU say so? :R
