We’ll be discussing how to fix a slide-out RV that’s sagging in this blog post. A slide-out extends an RV’s living space. It allows for more space and convenience while parking on site or for long periods. These slide-outs are made of aluminum so they don’t last as long. These slides will eventually sag and become unusable if they are not supported properly.

A bar attaches to either end of the fabric and holds our RV’s slides up. You can adjust the bar’s position by moving it from the front, middle or back depending on which part you need.
Adjust the front by loosening the bolts on each side of the bar. Slide it in or out until you reach the desired height. You’ll need to loosen one or more bolts at each adjustment point in order to adjust the back. Then, tighten them up again. For a quicker fix, you can loosen one bolt to lower your center attachment.
