Cool Full wall slide problem.

Looking for advice. Our new to us Monticeto 38E full wall slide is extending crooked. The rear of the slide is slow to move and is not fully extended when the front of the slide is all the way out. I can get it extended if I push (hard) while my wife is operating the switch but there are bad sounds at the front. There doesn't seem to be a problem retracting the slide. I have tried with the coach level, the coach resting on the tires and resting on the tires with air bags deflated, no difference.

This is our first class A and not sure if there is anything I can check/repair with the hydraulic slide. The other 2 slides operate with no issue.

Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

Welcome to the forum.

Known and documented Thor issue for years.

There are thousands of posts regarding full wall slide issues on all models dating back to 2014 or 2015. You can read all of them by using the search feature.

Folks are starting to replace the systems with Vroom at their own expense.

OP has an older coach with a Hydraulicl slide system, not a Schwintek electric motor slide system.

Given that it is a hydraulic system, check for fluid levels and leaks.
