HWH bedroom slide, when room is ran in, the front bottom of slide likes 3/8" being flush with skin of coach the rear of slde is 1/4" past the skin of coach.
Does anyone know of any adjustment.
Thank you,

Are your slide locks at the top still active, or have they been disabled? Is the top the same measurements as the bottom?
If they are like the salon slide, there might be a bracket with a adjustable stop on the passenger side for the bottom of the slide that is accessible from the basement

First, is there anything the slide is hitting or hanging on when coming in?
The bedroom slide (unless you have a race coach with flat floor slide) uses one cylinder in the center. It runs on a track. I would raise the bed and remove all the flooring above the slide mechanism. I don’t have it memorized, but you may find you can loosen some bolts and adjust the slide.
I have not seen adjustments on the side of the bedroom slide that will correct the situation you describe.
Remove the valence and take a good look at the locking pins and where they land. With that much cock in the slide you may have punched a hole in the slide roof. If you have it must be repaired to prevent water ingress.

Pictures help me if you can post them, would like to see pictures of the stainless steel slides on the underneath side of the slide. Are they rubbing on the coach skin?

Locking pins are active and in the locked position now.
I spoke to Newell they said there were 2 adjustment bolts on side of slide rail i loosened and pushed slide at floor and checked outside measurement and only moved 1/8 to 3/16". I retightened adjustment bolts, extended slide room back side of was sliding out 2" before front side appeared to move. Therefore slide hit on front about 1 foot from top, i retracted slide it locked in place but now the top front is sunk in. This may be over my head, and may require Newell. I would be appreciate any all sugestions. Thanks

Let’s go back to basics and start from ground zero.
First, when making any adjustment on any slide. Turn the key, turn the ignition key, and deflate the air seal. Otherwise the air seal locks the slide in place and will hide any adjustment you make. Or you roll the seal out of its track.
Three different things apply here. One, the position of the limit switch controls the overall in/out position of the bedroom slide. There are also adjustable hard stops, a bolt and lock nut, that stop the slide from going out too far or in too far. Two, the adjustment bolts from side to side will control how even the slide is with the coach. Three, the slide may tilt in at the top even with the bottom even with the coach.
So, the first question is: With the slide in, and the seal deflated, how even is the slide from side to side at the bottom. If it’s not even, adjust the side to side bolts until it is even. Don’t worry if it’s not flush, that will be addressed next.
Once it is even from side to side, adjust the limit switch and hard stops to get if flush at the bottom.
Once that is done, it may tilt in a bit at the top, but if the pins go into the holes properly, leave it be.
If that is not clear, post some pictures so we can see what you are looking at.

James if you do not have toppers over your slides these brackets may help the top part out but the bottom looks good to me after I zoomed in on them. Next time to extend the slide take some pictures of the 2 stainless steel slides under the slides I'm curious if they are rubbing on the skin of the coach. There are derlin blocks and shims that ride on those stainless steel when worn they drag on the skin.
