Slide out not sealing on one side

Hello. Brand new member here.

2007 All American Sport Toy Hauler - 5th Wheel
38.5 ft. (3 slide outs, one switch)

My issue is that one of my slide outs (kitchen area) is not wanting to completely seal when slide outs are in the open position. It seems to seal correctly on the left side, however the right side has a 1-2” gap on the top and side.

There is an obvious bend going on but how can I fix it? Im assuming it has something to do with the bracket adjustment underneath but I would love your opinions. Thanks.

That's going to require some serious structure work to get everything straightened back out.

Depending on where the 'bending' originates from, the slide may need to be removed and completely rebuilt. It may be possible to bend the brackets back in place. I can't tell if the frame is bent, but it looks like it is.

Welcome to the forum its a great place to get your questions answered. X2 what BR said, from the pics it doesn't seem like an in-place fix would work and slide box removal will have to be done. JMHO
