   When travelling the top of the slide moves away from the trailer when making turns.  This just began the end of last season.  I've also noticed the floor is spongy in front of the galley (which is the slide). The slide moves in and out properly and does not seem to be sagging when open.  This trailer has seen a lot of use over the years and I see no evidence of water damage.  Thank you for any thoughts / suggestions you may have!

	Get that checked out by a service place that knows what to look for. That should not happen if the slide is fully retracted. The fact that the floor is spongy may indicate that there has been a water leak. I would not delay in getting that checked out also. The spongy floor could also be from constant use the foam layer is breaking down or there is inadequate support for the floor at that point. It is hard to diagnose from what you posted. These are some possibilities. I hope you can figure it out quickly.
