Have a 2003 Fleetwood Pace Arrow Model 37A....now having a problem with the living room slide out...when extended the front portion of the slide seems to have sunk down....pulling the moulding on the slide away from the wall ...just the front portion. The floor when the slide is out is level, so the sinkage is not that grave. Also getting a line in the carpeting when the slide is retracted. Is there some way for me to adjust the height of the slide? Or is it a major problem requiring expensive dealer help?
Thank you

It MAY require dealer adjustments but the slide room certainly IS adjustable.

Some pictures would really help. When you say front, is that the side closest to the front of the RV or the front when you are facing the slide? It sounds like the slide is flexing, which is not uncommon-think of a cardboard box with one side cut out. The fix can be expensive as it is all labor.

The floor in your slide, especially on the side you get the line in the carpet may be have some wood rot. You need to check outside bottom of slide. Press the floor all around for softness. You can also use something like an icepick to check for decay.
The floor in the slide is a sandwich and the inside floor can be sound with the outside, bottom of sandwich rotted.
If that is the case, you have a major repair to deal with.

It's possible that the bolts on the inner end of the slide rail have loosened.
