Because the shell and box are essentially locked together it shouldn't make any difference. However, it would probably easier to be making any adjustments while the slide is recessed into the box.

Thanks Larry. That's what I thought. Really not essential, but maybe easier. I'm going to try first with it set up, since that's where it is right now. And shifting that box in & out is a bit of a tough go - partly because I think the shell isn't leveled properly. Once I can get the front shell adjusted, I will try sliding the box in & out again.

One thing I think I'll watch as well, to help guide how much I need to shift them up, are the aluminum locking bars. Right now all 4 of them are angled down to some degree or other, which is another indication to me that the shells to need to come up. I'll mark the struts and torsion bars with tape to see exactly how much movement I'm getting, but I will watch those aluminum bars as well and look for them to approach horizontal. Does that make sense as another indicator?

I've checked and we are level, and the struts are pretty much vertical (surprisingly!) so I think i should be good to go with trying the adjustments today. Sun is out, wind is calm, and I have nothing else on my to-do list that takes priority. Yet....

Not meaning to intrude, but looking at the last three posts - is everyone agreed as what constitute the shell, the box, and the slide?

Hi Bill. Thanks for chiming in...
I have a 2720SL, so a sofa slide out and a rear bed platform, and yes, I guess mis-spoke when I referred to the sofa slide-out as a box. Just because it looks like a great big box that slides out. I realize that it is actually sliding out of the box - which is the lower part of the trailer.
So.
Box - base of the trailer, sits on the frame
Shells - the collapsing roof on struts,
and the slideouts - the rear bed platform and sofa slide-out in front.

Is that what we are all talking about?
