Repair RV Slide Outs: Supporting Slide Out Weight

[twowheelz]

Hi Pippi and any readers out there.
On a 2014 Heartland 3150DS Wilderness with accu slide system, the external brackets on the top of the slide are bent.
I found the parts after speaking with Heartland Parts department. The question I am posing is, what is the best way to replace?
I was thinking of using a jack to support the slide, then removing the offending bracket(s) and attaching new ones.

Thank you for your post. Yes, RV slide outs are a great design upgrade but they require maintenance and repair. Look at Pippi’s video on slide out repair. When repairing RV slide outs it’s very important to support the slide out weight safely. She also has another video about slide out maintenance you might find helpful.
