Well for the third time now the slide tower has pulled away from the body. I believe someone posted a fix for this from Forest River, could that member repost please? Sorry for the sideway pic.

So after getting in touch with Forest River and relaying the slide fix that other members got at the rally, they said they would send me the metal plates to install my self. Got the plates and the ones they sent would not work on my unit. Have not been able to get in touch with the guy at Forest River again to see about getting correct plates to do the fix. I have made my own repairs by drilling straight though the slide tower and into interior wall then installing a 16 inch long 1/8 in. thick plate held in place by three grade 8 bolts and large fender washers. Hopefully this will hold the slide tower in place and I won't have the problem again.

Would like to thank Gary and Skip for sending me pics of their MH slide wall repair that they got at the rally, this helped me in dealing with Forest River.
