slide outs

Thanks for the answers. I thought as much but nice to confirm it. I have to say this site is great for this type of information. That bit of water in the sink is a pain.

I don't know about other brands, but the roof line on the slideout of my funfinder has a slope built into it, obviously away from the trailer.

yep, on my funfinder extending the slide causes the trailer to tilt on the suspension slightly to that side. I found that a piece of 3/4 plywood under the tires on that side compensates perfect for it. It's probably not that big of a deal, but the thing that irritates me is that if it is tilted off to the streetside, there is a small puddle left in the galley sink that won't drain ! ....man....it's the little things in life.....;)

If your site is level and you use lynx level blocks just put one under each tire on the slide side then when your slide is out it should be level. Works for me.

When I set up I leave the slide side slightly higher when I level. Then when the slides are out the rig will sag to that side and level it out. I have noticed that on my bubble level the slides out only causes about a half mark movement or 1-2 inches overall. Not enough to concern me.

Putting pressure on slides is not a good idea. Set trailer off to compensate for sag you experience.
