slide out scraping against exterior wall?

[Hmarqprince]

we have a 2017 FR3 32DS and the exterior wall on the kitchen slide is now scratched from something rubbing on it when being opened or closed. Is this just an adjustment?

Don't know the answer to your question. We have a 2017 Sunseeker with what we believe are slide adjustment needs. We researched on Lippert website and asked questions, sent photos. They told us what needed to be done. Very helpful. Waiting to hear back from FR.

If your slide is not centered in it's opening, and thus scraping on something as it moves in and out, you might try what I did.

After making several trips in our new trailer, I noticed one of the slides had moved rearward and was no longer centered in its opening. I found four hex fasteners at the ends of the two slide tracks under the slide floor were loose as they passed through their slotted holes. I loosened them a bit more and, with the slide extended, put my back to the rear sidewall of the slide and pushed with All my might (not a lot of ”might" left in this 73 year old.) The slide moved back into it's proper place!

Tightened the fasteners, and all is good again.

With pics. Your system may be similar. Or not.

What did Lippert tell you needs to be done?

Again can you tell me what Lippert advised on the slide issue?

We had the same issue on our 2017 FR3 30DS on the large slide. Our problem is a broken vertical roller that is located on the front and rear of each slide side wall. It has been in for repair under warranty and repaired the body work. The maintenance shop cut off the old roller bracket to reduce the chance of future damage while we are traveling for a few months. They recommended to leave it off, but I intent to contact Forest River technicians to see if there is a better solution. I believe this is a poor design that could continue to be a problem at least for the large slides.

I have attached a few pictures of the roller and damage.

Most slides are adjustable both up, down & front to back.
