My slide is not closing true and beginning to sound terrible and some damage has occurred with woodwork between kitchen and toilet. Where should I start.

Hi John and Martha
I have a 2000 Continental and had the same problem. The slide would not come in fully and caught the corner and broke a chunk of fiberglass off the top corner of the slide. Dont force it!
The problem was I did not have the coach on level ground with the full weight on the axles. I found out that you cannot run the slide properly when it's on the jacks even if the couch says it is perfectly level. 
I leveled the coach on the tires with blocks and the slide came in normally. If you are on a pad you won't have use blocks, the pad will be level. This sounds like you might have the same problem. 
It wasn't all that obvious to me because I thought level was level. But when the coach is on the jacks or even if perfectly level the frame can be torqued. This can misalign the slide and if it's out even by half an inch it won't come in properly. Retry to bring it in as if your at the point when you're going to drive the coach away.
It is distressing I know.

' John, 
Yes I know what happens inside I have had the same experience...humm
It is what it looks like out side that tells me what is happening. Frankly looks normal from the one outside picture. It is not uncommon for it to sit low like it is. Mine on both sits low by a 1/4 maybe a little more. The vertical gap looks pretty even, very much like my Panther.
