vickyr Report post Posted March 19, 2014 I have been told that I should have my slides supported. It seems like a good idea, but is it necessary? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dickandlois Report post Posted March 19, 2014 vickyr, Welcome to the FMCA Forum! I would venture that most Coach owner do not install supports under the slide outs. Having said that, what kind of Coach do you own, how big are the slides, do you just set up the coach a campgrounds for a week / month at a time or is it set up for months at a time ? Rich.

wolfe10 Report post Posted March 19, 2014 I can see one major problem with supporting the slides with a brace to the ground. Any movement of the levelers and/or even normal movement as you move around the coach could cause undesirable movement between coach and slide. Suspect few are robust enough to have the slide firmly planted and coach moving even slightly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vickyr Report post Posted March 20, 2014 I have a 08 28' Lexington GTS. The slides are not very deep. I have them extended when camping the longest continuous period of time has been 10 days. Thank you very much. I think I will save my money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
five Report post Posted March 22, 2014 I would not even consider slide supports. Think about what would happen if you have your slides supported and you have a flat tire. The coach settles, but the slides are held in place by the support. Even with jacks out, you could have major damage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted March 29, 2014 I don't know of any manufacturer that recommends slide support of any kind. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
