Thor Motor Coach Plant 750 engineers thoughts on slides and leveling are as follows - slides are installed and leveled on the level shop floor and this situation should be recreated before the slides are moved. The coaches are often parked on uneven parking spots resulting in frame twisting. Moving the slides at this time could cause slide binding and motor overload. The leveling jacks always deploy in pairs to release frame twisting, so if the coach is level using the jacks there is no twisting of the frame; thus the coach is in the same position as was on the factory and slides will not bind.

Other plants and manufactures may have other engineering considerations and the use of in-floor, level-floor or flush-wall slides which may require different procedures than the Schwintek in-wall slide system used by Thor Motor Coach plant 750.
