Slide room help

Ok... I’m not a newbie to camping or trailering- but this my first TT with a slide room.
All the manuals say press and hold button until fully extended or closed, then release immediately. Well- no one says what fully extended is!

On mine it seems the moment it is “fully extended” (or closed) you hear gears slip. That doesn’t feel right to me. But even going slowly there seems to be “a little more” it can go until it’s fully extended. And the moment it is you hear the gears.

I’m I just too cautious? Or should I be stopping before this sound?
I have searched and searched manuals and online. No one is willing to say what fully extended is- but all say stop when you get there.

What you are hearing is a slip clutch and designed to do that. Yes opening or closing hold the button until you here first of clutch slipping and then let go. The slide if adjusted correctly will be fully opened or closed.
