slide out droop?

I have a 2011 Cougar High Country 299 RKS, the issue I have is that it appears that the dining room slide is tilted slightly with the top 1/2" farther out than the bottom. Is this normal? I just noticed this since I moved the slide out to pack for a trip.

It is normal for the roof of the slide to be tipped away from the trailer when extended. However the inside seals should be making fairly even contact from top to bottom.

Also ....Are you level?????

Thanks Hankpage;
I am level and it appears that the seals are making good contact from top to bottom. I have only had this unit for 8 months and it is the first one I have owend with slide outs. I'm learning.

Jramsey, my slides also are like this. In fact when they are retracted the top of the slide always makes contact first and then the bottom finishes last. In fact when you are inside and look the bottoms are slightly raised off the floor. Both main slides work this way whereas the bedroom seems to come in more even, although this one too raises at the foot of the bed when fully retracted.

The roof should have a slight slant away from the RV so that the rain runs away from the seals
