Popup camper question

You all are so smart, I'm coming here to ask first. This past weekend while camping, we noticed that our dining slide in the popup has a definite downward tilt when it's pulled out. We quick fixed inside by putting a piece of wood under the table legs, but wanted to do something to better support the whole slide while it was out.

My dad picked us up a pair of slide stabilizers today from Camping World but..... I don't like them/don't feel like they are really doing the trick. I thought adding those would sort of stabilize the whole camper more, but it seems that it's brought the slide end up while making the rest of the camper, especially the roof more wobbly!

Is there some solution that will help level the slide without making everything else shakier?
 
If this lean is new (sounds like it is), it sounds like you need the slide realigned. The dealer should be able to do this without any problems. We had one of the slides on our toy hauler get out of whack and it was a simple trip back to the dealer.

Honestly, not sure if it's new or if this is just the first time we've noticed it because we really don't use the table inside. Someone always sleeps on it, so we usually just leave it down. This trip just happened to have a real rainy afternoon that drove us inside and we decided to put the table up to play games.

Is there a way for us to check that at home before bringing it to the dealer? The place we bought it is just over an hour away, so I'd rather not make that trip for nothing if that isn't the problem.

The bedroom slide on our toy hauler noticeably didn't fit well when closed. That got us looking a little closer when it was open and you could tell it was off.

I would think having someone watch it (inside and outside) when it slides out to see when it looks like it goes out of level.

We pulled the inside front/bottom off the slide this morning and took a look around. All the wheels are on the track and the track still looks securely mounted, so we're thinking that's just how it sits. I know they aren't going to sit level - my dad says the slides in his RV don't even sit level. So, I think we're going to keep the stabilizers and use them under there just for that extra security - especially for times when all 4 of us are sitting at that table - and we'll just keep using a piece of wood under that end of the table to bring IT to level when we need to.
