Tom & Donna,

I agree with Matt!

Most newbies are afraid of slides, I know I was. Everytime I would extend or retract my slides I would hold my breath. At first I didn't understand the instructions on extending and retracting the slide rooms.

From ROAD LEVEL position only (and this is the difficult part to understand) extend the slide. The reason for this is if you level the coach first and then extend the slide you are moving the slide room while the body of the coach is in a twist. Not Good!

Next step after all the slides are out, is to level the coach.

When you are ready to retract the slides, BEFORE you retract them go back to ROAD LEVEL first. Then retract the slide rooms.

If you follow the above procedures you will be good to go!
