    349m kitchen slide tips out on corners

    Has anyone had the slide tip out while going around corners?
    I was transitioning from one freeway to another on a sweeping right turn, and I look at my mirror and the kitchen slide has rocked out about 8-12 inches at the top, the bottom stayed in, just the top came out, it went back after I straightened out. Was I just going too fast on the corner? This is my first 5th wheel with slides, if I go in the trailer I can tip the top of the slide by pushing on it. It seems like just the weight of the slide keeps it from tipping, or is there something else to look at? It pulls up tight against the trailer while in.

    There was a post on Grand Design RV Owners facebook group last month 4-29 on a Solitude's slide top doing that during a turn.
    Sounded like a few other people had seen that on a couple more models

    My previous unit had a manual slide and had locking bars similar to these https://www.rvautoparts.com/SL-1323-...iABEgLA9PD_BwE

    You will need to measure the inside dimension (slide trim to wall) when the slide is inside to be able to get the correct ones.

    Hope this helps
