Chester,
I think I have learned that using the slides is not just a get it in travel mode and hold the switch operation. Maybe it should be, but at least with my coach I have decided to be much more careful when using the slides that I have been in the past.
I found an thick yard stick and blunted one end of it and installed a handle on the other end. I will use this to run up and down between the slide and the body to ensure proper clearance and seal deflation. Then I will additionally make incremental moves - stopping and going outside to check alignment again. Yes it will take longer, but the drive from Knoxville to Miami, OK takes a long time too!!!
