    Does anyone else have a problem with the long slide dipping down so as not to be able to open
    the driver side basement doors numbers 2 and 3. Fleetwood can not seem to be able to find the problem.

    Hi!  I have a 2012 Providence.  I have not had the problem but my slide is dipped as it extends but levels out as it seals to the exterior wall.  Having said that, could your top seal on either the wall or slide-out be collapsed or damaged?  It seems to me a problem in that area would cause the slide to dip.  Just a thought.

    I don't know if it's related, but we have a 2012 American Revolution and our large slide was assembled wrong at the factory. It was catching at the bottom as well until one day it caught and wouldn't come back in.  We had an RV mechanic come out and he had to take it apart and re-assemble it correctly. Now it works fine.  We talked to Fleetwood and sent them pictures of the incorrect assembly and they just said "oh well it's out of warranty so it's not our problem". Good luck with yours.

    Well, we have had our 2013 Fleetwood Providence 42M for 2 years now. We have been to various

    Fleetwood approved shops from La Mesa, in Pheonix, The Allied group in Colburg Oregon, to RV America in Longemont, Co., to  Transwest just north of Denver, Co and various other places that simplely were a waste of time. 

    We are currently in Texas, near San Antonio and we are still having problems with our long slide. We still can not open our lower basement doors do to the slide dipping down. Allied group seemed the most competent but decided to do Fleetwoods input and lowered the doors, the gaps are totally off and the paint is all rubbed off the tops, the raised the molding at the bottom of the slide adjusted doors and thought we had a marginal fix with a piece of paper clearence on the doors. Well that did not last, we drove off and 2 days later I call Fleetwood customer relations for the same problem. 

    I do not understand how Fleetwood can build a higher priced coach and not no how to fix one of the structural components as important as the large slide. I don't get it and we and my wife are beside ourselves as what to do. The only other thing is go drive the rig, miss work and see if Indiana where this thing was made hopefully will be able to fix it. We have spent most of our 2 years trying to get things fixed and driving from one repair facility to another, This is not what RVing was all about....NO FUN!!!
