The room's most weight is on both sidewalls and people where greasing the bottom of their room with something called zep45. Never herd of the stuff. So I tried to think of something slick and water proof, I was walking around a flee market and saw a bottle of petroleum jelly for a dollar. I went back to the campground applied the stuff liberally to the bottom of the room about 3 inches wide on both sides, and now the room goes in and out smoothly. So even if this does not fix your problem now remember this it may help down the road.
I have been using white luitheum spray grease on my sides for 2 years , it stoped the jerking and bouncing . My slide cables are different tightness when out the slides closes perfectly and no worn cables. I think the system over all is very poor for slide out rooms .
