Broken Cable Guide
Posted: Wed May 23, 2007 4:21 pm
This morning Cathy an I went out to the trailer to extend the slides and start loading up for this weekend. I noticed that there were wires hanging down under the living room slide. Once Cathy moved the slide out I was able to take a look and found the Following:
As you can see the guide that retains the cables as the slide moves in an out broke off at the slide attachment.
Here's a more detailed look:
The guide has four mounting holes but appears that they only used the top two.
Fortunately I was able to use the remaining two holes, I also added some washers, for a quick fix but I have to wonder if it would have broken if all four holes had been used.
My plan for the long run is get a new guide from Cardinal an use all four holes.
