Mark, what you are saying makes a lot of sense. I always bring my slide in when in travel mode, as instructed. When in travel mode, it may be at an angle if the parking area is lower on the left side of he coach. I do not have any awning straps to get caught so I am looking for an explanation. If the bottom did come in first and caused the locking pin to punch the hole, what can I do differently to stop this for happening again. I am thinking about installing a 1/8" piece of steel to stop the pin from making a hole again in the soft aluminum. Good idea about the rubber hose.
