Adjusting The Slide Anyone Try It Yet????

We had to adjust our slide because it wouldn't go out all the way, and we could see light coming through.

I remember some people did some adjustments when they were getting water on the inside when driving in rain. I don't remember if they had good results or not.

Just be sure to mark the positions that you have now, and if your adjustments don't work you can go back to the original.

Good luck.

Bsmall2800 any chance of a picture I would have thought that the slide needs to be on the plastic because of the weight. the only thing I can think of is the slide needs to have a little bit of a fall to the outer edge of the slide, that way when the slide travels in/out it should run slightly higher and not rub so much on your carpet.
My main slide has quite a fall to the outer edge, but does not rub on the carpet or leave any marks.

I adjusted our main slide within a few weeks of ownership.

Ours simply was not sealing when in the out position. It was a quick and easy fix using the info from Lipperts online manual.
If I remember correctly I only needed two 3/4" wrenches or sockets to get the job done.

One thing I did find was adjusting in/out also effected the tilt of the slide so I had to adjust the up/down a little as well.

Like Tater said - Mark your current settings before adjusting and you can always return to the factory setting if unsatisfied.

I'm going to have to do this in the spring also. My main slide rubs the carpet too hard on one side. It's causing the carpet to buckle up.

Please let us know what they did, if they will show you. I need to do the same thing, but my dealer went under earlier this summer.

I'm also interested in what you find out. Ours started rubbing at the beginning of the season and the carpet on one side is really worn down to the threads. The black material under the slide is torn in places a little bit. I put black duck tape to try, but no luck, it just balled it up. I tried some adjustments, but could not understand how to relieve this pressure at the bottom.

Oh man, I need a set of those. I've got a nasty black streak in the carpet where the slide runs. Great find!

We had a set of those for several years now, they work great.

We just love slang from other places....

I don't know if it was someone in this forum, or another forum that I read. The person bought clear carpet protector from a home improvement store (Lowe's, Home Depot, etc.). It comes in rolls and you buy as much as you need. It's used a lot in high traffic areas. The person cut it into strips. It's heavy enough to stay in place, and costs less than the product mentioned above...... or so they say.

Sruffy & Tater just said the magic words. Wow, what an idea. I have some of that stuff rolled up in our basement that we used when we built our house. I still will have to figure out how to adjust my slide though. I hate to have to take it back to the dealer. But at this rate, the carpet will not last much longer. Thanks for the idea!!
