How much slack in slide out cables?

I never noticed before, but one of the four cables for the slide out dinette in my 2014 Wilderness 2175RB is noticeably slacker than the other 3 when the slide out is in the "out" position.
The slide out is all the way out in this photo. There is a slight "droop" to the top cable.


Just hit the slide "in" button for a second and all 4 cables are tight like a fiddle string.

Other than the "droopy cable", nothing seems to be wrong with the slide out unit.
Has anyone else noticed this with their slide out cables?

That slack can be adjusted out. With the slide halfway in, look on top inside behind the surround molding and you'll see some turnbuckles up there to adjust out the slack. With that said, one of ours sits a little looser than the others when our slide is out but the slide operates normally.

Because I have a bad track record with "fixing" things that don't need to be fixed, I'm going to leave it "as is".
