Does anybody know if the tube steel inner tube is the same size/thickness on the 2020/2021 models as has ALWAYS been used by Lippert? Or did they change and start using a thinner walled tube that is subject to bending under compressive load as the slideout is being retracted? Has this been an issue for years and years?

Also - what causes a gear pack to bind - therefore placing the tube into high compressive load so that it bends/crowns?
