Slideout Problems

[Gregory OConnor]

Dave, the airpressure concept is hard to realize. Most think low
numbers of airpressure has little force and 17 is the same as 19. I
have a airbag that I pressurize to 12 psi to lift concrete swimming
pools back to level. When you guys work out the slid kinks please
document the repairs as I may need them in 2012.
