Question BR slide and flooring issues

That looks like a lot of effort just to check the torque on the slide motor bolts.

But you don’t hit your head anymore. Much easier to get to.

At least we got an excellent view of how these things are constructed. Which always helps when trying to sort out issues that arise.

Buddy, my kitchen slide is doing the exact same thing on the other end on my DS. It is going in for repairs in March. I will try to get the repair solution and report back. The initial diagnosis is the slide is out of adjustment.

If it only the reveal…it may be a simple adjustment. If the trim inexplicably shifts…corner piece gaps…trim separated leaving a gap between the top edge and the line where the silicone sealant still resides millimeters away…then it is very likely a damaged floor. Can still peek underneath to see if there is a gap between the floor and the aluminum extrusion. If they are still firmly attached...then simply tightening some screws isn’t going to be the fix.

This past summer…our tech did use some longer screws to try to pull the floor up enough to allow us to use the slideout…but the reveal gained was soon lost and our motor which was held on by 2 1/2 bolts…popped another leaving us with only two mounting bolt castings intact. We have been operating with BR slide in since mid-August.

Kitchen slideout seems like a real bear. The wiring cascade under the sink…much larger floor piece, cabinets, and furnishings…. Oh boy. Not a fun time. I certainly hope I am wrong…and it is simply an adjustment.
