Slide out information
I have an Arctic fox trailer with a slide out with two recliners on it. Lately it seems that when opening the last few inches the slide isn’t extending evenly. I can’t see any problems, just curious if anyone knows if there is rollers under the floor or how does the slide ride out as it extends? Looking underneath, there’s one 4” square tube that has a gear rack on the bottom that slides inside another larger square tube. There’s a fixed roller on the stationary tube on the outboard end, and the tube that moves has a roller on the inboard end that moves in when the slide is retracted. All these rollers look ok...any slide experts out there that might have an idea?

I can't tell you if it has rollers, although a call to Arctic Fox customer support will, if no one here knows. Some do and some don't. I have worked on on a few older models and can't recall. I can tell you slides do sometimes get out of adjustment and there are videos on Youtube that show how to adjust them. It's a fairly common problem.
