So, on my first outing... The FWS extended and when it went to lower it made an awful bang sound. I swear it sounded like the chain jumped, or I got shot at LOL...
I must say, I do not feel we were on very level ground, but per Newmar recommendations, I deployed slides on Airbags only. Maybe we were just too unlevel ( felt more like uphill than actually bound up ) We were only there for a night.
Once we got to Fort Wilderness ( nice and level ) it seemed much better. But now have a little hollow knock sound right before the slide lowers. Just would like a little confirmation that I need not worry about this. I took a few pictures to show that it is even on all sides ( or at least close )...
All input is appreciated.
Hoping the attachments work...
