Okay, first: 2019 Thor Vegas 25.6 with the single very large slide. It's so heavy. When we push it out, the entire coach tips to the side...so we feel like in order to ultimately rest level, we have to UN-LEVEL the coach to compensate for how the slide is going to pull the driver side down. This doesn't seem like good design but in real life this is how it's working for us. Anyone experience this or have any comment?
Second: newbie question. We 1.park the RV, 2.push out the slide, 3.drop the stabilizers to lock in the back end. Is this the correct order, or should we be doing something different?
Finally, it always takes 90 seconds or so for the motor to move the slide in or out... it really works hard to get it going, then seems to operate more easily and properly... I wonder every time "is this the time it doesn't make it?" I shot a video at the link below. Is this others' experience with this large slide? In other words...is this normal? Do I have a bad or failing motor? Or is it just a really heavy hunk of metal and this is how it is?

Thank you all for any input! |
Sequence:
1 - Park the rig
2 - Have it level using the leveling jacks.
3 - Have the engine and/or generator and/or power cord on/connected
4 - put the slide out
NEVER MOVE THE SLIDE OUT IF THE MH IS NOT LEVEL BY THE LEVELING JACKS
On the three traxx system, lubricate the U channels on the racks with a dry lube lubricant every other trip.
If after you have level the MH
with the leveling jacks the slide is still able to sink that side down, you are in a too soft ground area - move to another place or put something under the jacks so they will not sink...
