Refering to a KZ rear slide they are supported on the camper frame NOT the ceiling, ceiling are only for guiding the slide.
Back a hundred years ago when I was ready to move from our hybrid to a travel trailer I became really interested in a K-Z Spree 210KS rear glide model. Research though turned up quite a few complaints from K-Z Spree rear glide owners who had problems with those tracks ripping out of the ceiling when the trailer was being towed. IIRC K-Z's solution was to offer an option bed support that would slip under the bed platform when it was in the travel mode and hopefully avoid ceiling track failure. I took note and bought a triple bunk bed K-Z Spree 240BH-LX instead. ;)
I knew this mod when we bought. Also unless supported you can not use the bed in travel position, that's in the manual. When out it will support over 1200lbs and you can if you want hang bikes off the super structure it's that strong. My bikes are a little expensive to ride outside so they ride in the truck or the camper depending on if DD is coming.
It's been an ok rig but if I did it again we'd have had a TT with walk around bed but it wasn't up to me ;) You know, happy wife happy life............but I do rub it in once in a while :B When DD finishes college we'll be looking again.
