I just took delivery of a new Lakota Bighorn 8314 w/ 9' slide. I parked it on the drive so that we could start loading it for our winter trip to AZ. The book says only open the slide if trailer is level and I have about 3-4 % grade on my drive and temps have been in single digits. I would like to hear from some of your experiences on how critical temps and not being level could be in my situation. also, I have sold my other trailer and need to create a good Bill of Sale for trailer. Does any one have good template they could share with me or a good free website I could use , that I wouldn't have to sign up for to use. Thanx in advance for any helpful input. TLR

As a well versed notary the above linked bill of sale does not need to be signed by both parties in front of the notary (it would be nice yet the document does not ask for it), but it also lacks a notary certificate. You'll need to find a properly educated notary that knows which certificate wording to use for the state in which the title will be registered in by the new owners. The actual title may (should) also have a notary section on it as well for transfers. I have had people ask me to work on things from $100 to $1M+ and I've had to turn down more work than I've taken because people do things wrong before they get to me. You can find notaries that know what they are doing on https://www.notaryrotary.com/

you can also find a fill in the blank bill of sale for your state on the dmv website. that is what we did when we sold our trailer. and there is a copy for you as well as the buyer. also a notary will know what documents accompany the bill of sale. also make sure not to over pay for a notary signature. in my state it is illegal to charge more than $5 per signature. so when they tell you it is $20+ remind them that you both know differently, travel is extra though.

Do you have electric levelers?...If not, you should think about it...Leveling ALSO makes your refrigerator work better...:)
Just my opinion, but the only way to level a LQ is by pulling the low side tires up on blocks until the rear is level. Then use the front jack(s) to level front to rear.
In the question here- is the grade from side to side, or front to rear? If front to rear you can maybe get close to level with the jack.
And- on a lot of newer slides, it isn't good to step on the slide unless it is fully out because the deck isn't supported and can break. Just FYI.

Thanks Paul, for your link to a good BILL OF SALES template, that will work just fine. As far as my other question, I was wondering how well the cable system works on slideouts and how critical it is for them to be perfectly level. This my 1st cable operated slide and I would also welcome any maintenance and operating tips from those have used them.thanx TLR
