Slide Binding Up
Our 2014 Arctic Fox 1140 has developed a problem with the slide. When it is on the truck it works fine, but when it is on the ground, the slide starts going out at an angle, makes a grinding noise and presses against the valance over the back window.
We called the dealership and were told that this is a problem they have seen in TC's with the big slides - the weight of the slide distorts and twists the camper. We were told to use the jacks to shift the weight of the camper slightly to one side and the problem should stop. Then once the slide is out, to relevel the camper.
It worked, but we are not happy about this. Is this really a common problem or do we have something seriously wrong and the dealer just wants to get us to go away. We are in Florida so there are no Arctic Fox dealers anywhere near us-- drove to Oregon to pick it up.
