I’m writing in reference to a 33 foot travel trailer. It has one slide on the drivers side toward the back of the trailer. When parked on a level blacktop surface and the trailer is level the back end of the frame is clearly lower or sagging. The dealer acknowledges that the back end is 1/2 an inch lower than the front. The manufacturer states that this is within normal parameters and will not take any action, so the dealer has taken the same position. Is this correct and common?  I would think the slide out would be at risk of failing since the frame is not level. Looking for any I thoughts and suggestions. Thank you.

At this point about all you can do is obtain written  statements of their position on this matter for future substantiation in case of further damage. Keep in contact with Grand Design customer service, kinda like the squeaky wheel analogy.

Communicate via email or snail mail, so you have everything in writing.  Document everything said JIC this goes to legal action.

1/2 inch deviation over 33 feet seems to be- not much. If everything works, nothing has fallen off , just hit the road.

I agree with Erniee I would monitor it but that isn't all that bad. Go have some fun.

Have the frame inspected. If the sag isn't all in the same place, then it's probably not a big deal. Look for cracks, bent beams, and hardware failure. If there aren't any you are probably OK.
