Power Gear Living Room Slide Adjustment
For some reason my living room slide out is off kilter. It is about a 1/2 inch off at the top like it is leaning toward the rear of the motorhome. The slide out has been dragging and I put new whe...

I did a Google on this slide a long time ago. The slide has always extended pretty fast but would drag when coming back in. It is a flat floor slide. I finally replaced the motor at the suggestion of a repair shop, made it a little better but didn't solve the problem. Then I had my wife bring the slide in while I watched underneath. The wheels near the gear drive weren't turning. I contacted Power Gear and they advised I replace the wheels. I have a complete shop so I made a device to use with a jack to raise the gears up just enough to take pressure off the wheels and replaced them. Couldn't see anything wrong with the old wheels.
I have never noticed a problem with the room being off until yesterday. The slide toppers went bad and we are having new ones made so I was cleaning around the slide when I noticed the gap at the front and the closeness at the rear. I need to move the top of the slide out about a half inch. My rig has the storage compartments that move with the slide out. So there is adjustment bolts above the storage compartments under the slide.
Will keep the forum posted on my progress. I was hoping someone with a Power Gear slide on a Southwind might have solved this problem before. I love my Motorhome but it has had numerous problems from front to back. I have taken it to repair shops and then had to fix the mess they made, so I want to avoid that if I can. I have the time to work on it, they don't.
