    Rack and Pinion slide question

    Just bought a 2024 Transcend 261BH. I've had previous rack and pinion slide. Is it normal on the GD for the slide to rock up and down when part of the way out? My other trailer dint do that. When I put the slide half way out, I can put 2 fingers on the top of the box frame and it rocks extremely easily. Wondering if that's normal.Below is a link to the video I took

    It isn’t “rocking” from what I see when you are moving it so…..

    They are not meant to be stopped mid way no matter what type of slide
    If it is solid when fully in or out why worry?

    The only attachment to the trailer is at the bottom so I would be quite certain it would move when you rock it

    Does your slide rock? If it's a rack and pinion or a cable slide you can stop them midway.

    Didn’t say you can’t. I can stop my Schwintek mid way as well and have to access my bedroom but why would you

    I understand that but are you leaving it half open for a reason?
