Pressing the extend/retract switch twice in rapid succession will synchronize the motors. Removing 12 volt power from the controller and the motors will be synchronize when electricity is returned to the controller Stalling the motors and end of travel for 3 to 5 seconds will synchronize the motors. Usually if the slide gets cocked there is debris under one of the rollers.

Hopefully it’s just out of sync but on ours I made the mistake of putting the slides out while not level and bent some of rollers. Stupid mistake make sure yours isn’t scrapping the floor. Pretty easy to tell if the flooring is getting torn.

Slide out hung up

FYI Had an issue with my bunk slide out only extending about 1" on the forward side then stalling out. Really struggled to find the cause...even paid an emergency rv service to diagnose with no luck. To keep it short, I discovered that one of the forward upper track screws had backed out and was interfering with roller. Reset the screw (added loctite) and the problem was resolved.
Something I need to include in my preventative maintenance plan.

I actually found a plastic partial broom handle under mine. And it’s wasn’t ours!
