Gulf Stream Owners RV Forum - View Single Post - Slide not all the way sealed at the bottom

My Gulf Stream is very old but system is similar. Mine was tight at top and out at the bottom about 1/2 inch. The "jamnut" on the center hydraulic ram pushrod solved the problem on mine. About a turn on the nut did the trick. Seems like the secret to keeping the slide working is lube of the moving parts with non-grease product like silicone, and cleaning the side seals/wiping with silicone. Slide is over 20 years old and still working great.
