I just noticed on our 2017 Solitude 300GK, that the curb side slide is not extending all the way. The rear is about 1" short of fully extended but only at the bottom. The top is out all the way and pressing against the wall, but the bottom is about 1" from the wall. The other thing is that the floor is not extending out and dropping into it's pocket on the rear. It's fine at the front. My question is there an adjustment on the rack that will push the bottom of the slide room out a but more? Anyone done that? Or is this a dealer item. Pictures try to show the difference between the front and rear floor under the carpet.

I have a 2015 369RL that is like that, only about a quarter inch difference. I would also like to know if there is a fix for it.
 
my question, is the D seal inside the trailer being compressed after it closes? If not it surely needs adjusting. If it is, there may be no adjustment required. Call GD and ask them and send them Pics.
 
I also have a 2015 Solitude 369RL; same issue. Seal is very tight on the forward end and not as tight on the rear. With the slide in the out position, I counted the teeth showing on each end: 7 on the front and 5 on the rear! I talked to a mobile RV repair guy: he didn't want to mess with it- "a real pain in the rear"! The Lippert book says this is a dealership adjustment ☹️

My last fiver had hydraulic slides with the same issue. Even though it's hydraulic, there is still a rack and pinion gear under there. It keeps both sides of the slide moving at the same time. It's possible that one side of your has jumped a tooth or two. I was able to loosen the gear, push the slide out all the way, and then tighten the gear. Maybe yous has a similar setup.

Slide room adjustments are covered in the LCI owners manual...your decision whether you want to do it yourself or the dealership. I've done the adjustments myself as too frequently the dealership techs are from the 'that's close enough' school and don't take the time to get it right.
