My 2016 Thor Tuscany 45AT has thick aluminum "tracks" on the underside of both driver's side slide-outs, where the support rollers make direct contact see photos).
However, on the passenger side, where the biggest slide-out is, there are no aluminum "tracks" (3/16" aluminum sheets approximately 6" wide) to carry the heavy load (see photos).
Instead, it appears that the weight of the 28 ft long slide-out is being carried by the rollers in direct contact with the outer "floor" of the room extension.
It seems strange that one side of the coach has the reinforced "track" for rollers but the other side does not.
I am wondering if all Tuscany coaches are like mine, or if other ones have the aluminum tracks on both sides.
I am asking this question because my big slide-out no longer closes 100% at the top rear corner.
We sometimes get water leaks back there and the whole slide-out squeaks as we drive down the highway (I'm talking LOUD squeaks that were never there before the failure to seal up).
I look forward to your comments.
