I have a 2003 Beaver Patriot Thunder 505 C12 with two drivers side slides.
The main front slide appears from the outside to be out of square to the opening. With the coach aired up and all leveling retracted there is a 1-1/4"" gap at the rear top and 1/8" gap at front top. The rear bottom is 1/8" gap and front bottom is 1" gap. The rear is also sagging about 1/2" low. I have read the forums on shimming the rear and that should be no problem. However I am hesitant to do so since high school geometry tells me that will actually make my problem worse and make the slide even further out of square.
My questions are:
1. Has anyone else had this issue and fixed it?
2. Is there adjustment at the top to pull the top front or top rear of the slide forward or backwards?
There are a lot of other little issues with the coach that I want to ask about later but this is the major one for the time being.
History is, I bought this at auction 3 years ago. It has 35,000 miles on it and did not run when I purchased it. After a lot of corroded wiring repair and many thousands in maintenance, tires, paint, fiberglass weather cracking repair, and many hours we have now taken this coach to Florida three years with minimal issues.
Thanks to anyone who has any experience with this issue and I am hopefully successful in attaching pictures of the issue.
