slide retracted unevenly

[Jimnkarens]

We noticed that the slide has retracted but one side is till about an inch from the side wall even though the opposite side is tight against the side wall. Is there a way to make an adjustment so that both sides meet the side wall at the same time? Is this something that I can do or should I take it to an Rv repair shop?

Yes. My slide has some placards near the motor with instructions for adjusting the cables.

You can fix it.
Put the slide most of the way out but not all the way, then go underneath and pull the small bolts out of the cross bar with 2 - 7/16s wrenches. Once you have that bolt out you can run the side with the hydraulic ram in or out and measure both side until they match. Find a good mark to measure it that should be exactly the same om both sides.

Hard for me to explain in words buy if you need more help you can call me.

You might have some broken teeth on the socket that caused it to go out of wack.
