Sloopy; revisited and reply
Thanks for the responses and some answers to questions. I do have the tow; manuerving handle in the right position and no it doesn't come unlocked; just aggressively heads that way during quick stops and or slow downs. The slop is between the mating surface of the rollers to the bed mounting rails. The fellow that mentionend putting rubber between the rollers and the rails is what I feel like what I want to do; but I feel that's not a solution. Every time you want to slide you would have to remove the rubber shims. Think I will dig deeper and call Reese. Maybe installers used wrong; imported bed rails and clearence to much ?? Again thanks and these forum has been most helpful to me in the past.

Sloppy!! Help Me hitch Guru's. Please!
My stats. new to pulling FW. 2006 Dodge swb 2500 diesel pulling a 32ft Holiday Rambler Alumalite. New 16k Reese slider hitch and just added a Moryde pin box. Have only pulled FW about four times locally. Each time have heard a lot of banging going on back at the hitch area, but couldn't tell what was going because I was always by myself. A friend helped me this weekend install the Moryde pin box and you definitely need help. We went and took it for a test run and the Moryde is doing it's job. However it could do better if there wasn't so much slop in the slider hitch.
I was now able to see what the banging sound was all about while my friend drove and I observed. When you take off the “A frame” which holds the swivel head and has the rollers, locking device, etc., lifts up somewhat off “slop” the tracks that are bolted to the bed. But man you should see what happens when you make a sudden quick slow down or stop. The maneuvering tow handle almost comes straight up and the banging going on isn't nice. I would think a product from Reese would be a little tighter or do I need to do some kind of adjustment; or is this just the way it is? Does Pullrite supergilde and others do this? When I bought the FW the dealer installed the rails hitch and head. Thanks for your time

Newbie on slider seals/gaskets
Newbie to 5 ver's and sliders.My rig 32' 99 alumalite HR Last big rain I noticed my carpt wet near frontroom slider rear corner. My buddy and I started investigating and noticed that the upper slider seal was 7/8 flipped over towards us; about 1/8 was still rolled the other direction ? We opened and closed the sliders several times while watching the action. Also the bedroom slider does the same thing; but seal/gasket rolls opposite way about half way.
Question Should I clean/wax the top of the slidersand should I be lubing these gaskets with something/ If yes; what?? Any other suggestions are highly appreciated.
Side note: I think the previous owner had a leakage problem; but didn't fess up. The reason I say this is while finding this leak and paying closer attention to the seal/gasket operation; we noticed the front slider has the orginal light seal foam gasket dust seal gasket just behind the slider trim plate so when the slider is all the way extened helps seal out the dust?? Well the front room slider has had the orignal light foam removed and a thicker black; rubbber seal installed ??
