During PDI, what is a common issue encountered with slide-outs?

Misalignment is a common issue with slide-outs, primarily because these mechanisms are designed to extend and retract smoothly. When a slide-out is misaligned, it can cause several problems, such as difficulty in operation, gaps that allow air or water leaks, and even potential damage to both the slide-out itself and the adjacent structure of the RV. Misalignment may occur due to improper installation, wear and tear over time, or even damage from rough terrain.

Addressing this issue often involves realigning the slide-out tracks or mechanisms, ensuring that the slide-out can operate correctly and maintain a proper seal when closed. This maintenance is crucial for the overall integrity and functionality of the RV, as a well-aligned slide-out is key to a successful recreational vehicle experience.
