Thanks, Jim!

You were right, the tongue is hitting below the hole. What now?

For those that are not familiar... On long slides there is a rigid metal bar mounted to the inside edge of the slide. It has a tongue perpendicular to the bar this is about a 30" angle up. On the coach is a slot on the wall right above the slide. When the slide extends, the idea is that the tongue will hit the slot and force the middle of the roof of the slide up a bit.

In my case the tongue is hitting the wall below the slot.

I am not sure what the fix is ...any thoughts would be appreciated.

Possible fixes....
1. Add a decorative column to the middle of the slide to keep it from sagging.
2. Extend the tongue by welding an "extension" on it. (This would involve removing the valance and unbolting about 1000 bolts).
3. Add a matching tongue on the coach wall side to "catch" and lift the tongue on the slide.

I know that Tom has worked on the angle of the tongue on one coach with mixed success.

Thanks!
