You need to level your side out if you look under your side out there are big screws to level it when it slides in or out
need to put rv. On level ground and screws are like large bolts you need to make sure upper is slides with the lower
sometimes if you are sitting on. Unlevel
areas it causes the top and bottom to get off one or two teeth there are Manuel bolts under the side out to reajust
it but it takes some time to reajust it .

Try using a block of soft pine and rubber hammer on opposite end. If there are no set dress holding it in place. A few gentle taps should put in place. Then you may want to put in your own set screw to prevent from reoccurring!

Hello, Tom.
seems to have multiple issues with your RV. Depending on the model and type of RV you have, the location and number of motors will vary. If you have a way to look up from under the unit with the covers removed, it may be visible within the framing of the coach, however, if the slide is on an upper area, like the front of a 5th wheel, you may have to remove a panel or interior siding/trim to access. The unit should have a manual wrench, of sorts, to open and close if you lose power or the motor quits working. Look up Forrest River online and you should be able to get more information or specs from the Mfr.

You'll need to do a little internet searching. Find out the brand name of the slide mechanism (it might be on the control panel) and search for the company website. They should have service manuals and emergency retraction instructions listed.

On most RV the connection is close to the slide out. Often at a duplex in or close to the inside non-sliding wall. Check to see if there is a GFI wall plug that is tripped. It could be anywhere in the RV and sometimes the circuit layout seems to be without reason. Be sure to check the GFI in the bathroom and also the one in the kitchen. When you find the GFI hit the off button and then reset them, then check your tv for power. GFI's protect everything down circuit against shorts or prone to be wet locations. As sooner or later there may be some leakage at a slide out, it makes sense to have the plug in protected.

I can only assume this is an RV you are talking about. No there should not be slack. I would start by finding the manual slide out mechanism. It will be a hand crank type or unit. Manually slide the kitchen unit out and then try to slide it back in with the button. That will either bring it all the way back in or you can see that the motor is bad or the limits are off.

Find another dealer...those guys are f***tards! That slide should be level and even when in OR out. Bent slide mechanism, mal-adjusted runners maybe. Have it checked out by someone who knows what they are doing.

Water can leak in FAR from where you see the damage. It runs downhill finding a low spot to settle. I would re-caulk the whole RV, paying special attention to the roof. Spend the money on roof sealer if you have to. Silicone tube caulk is a temporary fix. To be done right, you disassemble joints/panels and use the ribbon/string caulk. More work but should last at least 5 years.

Sooner or later they ALL will spring a leak. Keeping up on inspection and re-sealing regularly will minimize the damage.

Every slide out has a manual override for the motors. You should be able to call the dealer you purchased it from and they will tell you where it is. You can then adjust it back to a closed position and use it normally.

#1 is make sure the RV is FOUR WAY LEVEL before attempting. Check for obstructions at the glide points and also INSIDE the RV. A toy on the floor can stop the slide-in. Those apply whether slider is manual or electric. IF it's electric, first thing to check is the fuse for the slider circuit.
