    I like to take a piece of wood or pvc pipe and cut it to the length needed to make sure the slide clears the campground receptacle, water, sewer, etc plus a few inches. I paint with a bright red paid and lay it on the ground to give me a visual when backing in. This works well for me.

    Nicely done Tony & Tina!! I do have a question - I have the same slide out system, and back when I didn't know any better, I used WD40 on my slide out. We've had no problems but would like to clean that off to prep it to use the CRC-PTFE product. What degreaser would you recommend? Penetrating oil spray, Simple Green? I was going to get under there and scrub the "teeth" as well.

    Hello, the good thing about using WD40 is it works as a solvent, it's a cleaner as well. I would just make sure you wipe off all the stuck-on road debris from the rack and pinion (use an old paint brush and rag) and start using the CRC product. Make sure you lube on both sides of the little gear using the CRC product, that's a recommended lube point. Thanks for watching and Safe Travels!

    Good effort ! Still, in my humble experience, to prevent movement of the slide, putting the jack should be UNDER the axle or springs will not help much, it should have been under the slide floor or OVER the springs.

    I am glad you got to speak with Lippert. They are making terrible products for the sake of their investors profits. Lippert is making a terrible name for amazingly good RV makers like Rockwood!

    I don’t agree with your statement about Lippert’s product quality, the company continues to evolve to provide a better products. For example, I like how in 2023 lippert started powder coating Rockwood/ Flagstaff frames to help combat corrosion. Was that Lippert’s decision to improve the frame or was it the manufacturer of the RV? Something I’m going to have to investigate.. I understand that there are issues with RV’s, frames, slides etc. I just don’t feel that it fair to single out one company and blame them for all of the issues. RV manufactures design RV’s with certain spec’s that frame manufacturers have to adhere to. Can they build a frame that won’t flex? Absolutely, but you’re going to need to upgrade that truck. Just my thoughts, appreciate you watching and commenting. Safe Travels & Happy Camping!
