    Just had the floor replaced on our 2018 DX3 TS and noticed the roller on the bottom doesn’t touch the floor when the side is opened or closed. Can someone be kind enough to check theirs when the galley is in those two positions. Thanks

    Where is the slide out motor?

    I have a 2017 23RB. My end goal is to figure out how to manually open or close the slide out. I think there is a place on the motor but for the life if me I can’t find the motor. The bottom has a covering - like foam board - I suspect it’s behind that somewhere but don’t know where.
