Eh,
Sorry to hear of your troubles, man. I looked at those Foust River sun seekers..was shown two I liked. Nice floor plan, both, both had misaligned slides.I could see daylight! Salesman told meno worries, we will fix it after you buy. You guys drove this from Indiana to here like this? CA. LIKELY WATER DAMAGE. No.after discussing the issue with a rv repair shop I use and trust, I've heard this company has a lot of trouble with slides. Was shown one in the shop, another one coming. I was told what I already know, the slide weakens the frame, you're gonna have issues sooner or later. Expensive issues. I experienced this before with a diesel Funmover slide. I bought a thor plain Jane 23u. Techs tell me thor box structure strong, inside paper machete. Been my observation. Had that rv down some tuff dirt roads for many miles, held up. It had issues too when new. Had to get factory involved to solve the issues.
That doesn't solve your issue, but you MUST get the factory involved and document contact. Email, letters. I suggest email. The right rep can help you a lot. Fwiw I hear some new forest river slides holes are cut wrong causing size, fit issues, which can be repaired competently. There's people in CA who do this.
