Thanks to Bryan Wheat for his help. For all those who don't know, he is very cooperative when it comes to questions and help.

After talking to Bryan twice and sending him pictures of the exterior and interior. He finally figured out it was the carriage bolts that were used through the wall to secure the boat rack. Bolts had backed off in the intervening years and stuck the camper when coming. Carriage bolts are now taken out and will have flat heads installed and the holes reamed out to fit flush. I'll do the other side next.

Now that I think about it, I remember tightening the screws which attach the stainless slides because they had backed out enough to cause the slides to bind when they went up and down. The upper ones are a bugger to get to tho.

Even if you don't have a boat rack...the flathead screws used to attach the steel angle support in the corners will back out, especially if there's damaged to the corner framework wood members, and cause the same effect.
Pictures make a huge difference ....Quite the hangup
