[QUOTE=Danandtina;2196839]I am hopeful the attached pictures tells the story better than I can describe in writing. My issue is that when the kitchen slide comes in the counter top separates from the frame and side wall (splash). With the slide out there is no separation. Where it is separating (counter top from splash) it was caulked from the factory meaning it should not separate.
We noticed this on our last trip looking for squeak while moving.
Not sure if the video can be viewed, but it shows the separation happening as the slide is 90% in until it stops. I have a theory, but it's only that. The 2015 Dynamax DX3 has a curved shell and the slide exterior is curved. My theory is that the curves are not the same and when the outer frame of the slide makes contact with the body it is spreading the outer frame and all attached to it. To exaggerate, picture what would happen if a curved frame was pressed up against a straight frame (body).
Any suggestions are welcomed.
You do not need to be doing any of this. This is a dealer repair problem. We all know that separation is not acceptable and needs to be addressed ASAP. If you see movement there, where else is there movement. Now the dealer is going to tell you " That is how they make them now." or "It's ok for it to do that." If you have the opportunity to check out another unit same as yours while there, do so and see if that unit flexes as well. If it does that still doesn't mean it is right. Our Coachman was missing 2 blocks that keep water out of the tt when traveling on the roadway. Went to the dealer and there were another 9 units same model as ours that were missing the same 2 blocks. We had been told the leak was coming from the top drivers side of the slide out. They had no clue until I contacted Coachman and they sent pictures of the blocks.
OMG that was way to long. Short version you paid a lot of money for that unit. I'm sure you did not buy it as a project to work on in your spare time.
