Recently my passenger slide (06 Phaeton)had work done on it due to a broken hose which leaked fluid. I had this repaired and now the front of my couch is digging into the carpet. Is there an adjustment for this?

just replacing the hose would not cause this problem. contact the slide mfg or tiffin. they should have an answer.

AS the other poster stated, having a Hydraulic problem/leak will not cause the room parameters to change. So, you need to check the rollers and there ARE some adjustments that can be made, but those adjustments rarely have to do with lifting the room up. You state the FRONT of the couch is digging into the carpet. Is this couch NOT mounted on top of the platform on carpet? Did they remove the couch for some reason to do the slide repair? Can you post a PIC of the slide and couch? It sounds like the room itself is OK but the couch is the problem. Doug

They are doing a fix for dragging slides at Tiffin - we are having it done and I hope they'll cover the cost. In addition to the dragging, which we had, another symptom is that your cabinet doors are a hair off. They put in some kind of spindle from the edge of the counter to the ceiling. Sounds primitive, doesn't it? We were alerted by a "little birdie" when we checked into Tiffin for repairs.

Good luck, safe travels.
