I'm trying to determine what may have caused the following problem. I now have a split in the outer wall that begins at the drain rail located just about the DS slide. The split begins at the rail and runs at a slight angle (10 degrees or so) up toward the roof. Now, I purchased the unit used and was living in it until this past fall. When I purchased the unit the DS (living room slide) when closed, was flush at the top and bottom in the rear, and the front was flush at the top but at the bottom it extended out about 2" or so. Didn't think much at the time as the seals seemed tight, no leakage, so figured I'd mess with adjusting later. Anyway, moved into house for winter, so took unit to Florida from Jersey for storage. When I got to Florida I noticed the split. Could the slide being out of adjustment cause the split? I don't know how the slide sets into the unit at the top, so not sure if it contacts a "stop" or just fits flush up against the outer wall. Sorry, wasn't able to take any pictures and I'm back in Jersey. I guess what I'm trying to ask could there have been sufficient pressure at the top, with the bottom angled out to have virbrated or rubbed against the side and caused a split? No indication of any paint being rubbed in the area and didn't have split when I left Jersey. Understand I'm not giving you a lot to go on, just wondering, since you guys know how they're built if you've experienced this type of issue before. As shown in my sig this is an 06 3400RL.
