We have had ours for about 2 years. Ditto what Texan said about the Lippert slide control box in the storage bin. Ours also was filled with water and had to replace it. Luckily the slide was closed when it failed. The new one now has the wires facing down and the hole resealed.
I carry 2 2x12's to put under the front tires when the wheels are off the ground after leveling. Just make sure the rear wheels do not come off the ground as they are the parking brake.
Look for some small type of shower curtain rod to place between the kitchen sliding cabinet and the cabinet across from it. We have had slide open turning corners and the slide cabinet put a indentation in the one across the hallway.
I also developed a check list on what to do when setting up and getting ready to leave. It seems the list gets longer after each new experience. The last one was "remove the dog kennels from underneath before lowering the RV". It may seem redundant to have a checklist but pilots have one and use it before every flight. A stupid mistake such as leaving the antenna up will cost more than a few bucks.
We also use the children sliding locks on the cabinet above the sink. It makes a mess when it pops open and a Corelle plate shatters into about a thousand pieces.
Have fun and safe travels
