Hi All,
I don't know if this particular thread has run, but I can't find one.
I have attached pics showing the slide support and its failure on my 2014 Itasca 38Q.
On the right side you can see that one of the two adjusting bolts has sheared and dropped down about 1/2 inch. On the left side in the close-up you can see that the extra stress has ripped the bottom of the angle piece (it actually is a lot worse and really opened up, but I have it shored up with a 2X4).
First of all it seems incredible to me that the integrity of the entire mechanism rests on the shear strength of 2 bolts!!
Secondly, I would have considered this a one-off if the same thing hadn't happened to a friend of mine on his Adventurer 37F just this past summer!!
(I have attached a pic of his home-grown solution).
Soooo, is this an endemic problem? Have any of you had this failure? And if so, what was the cure? Has Winnebago said anything about it?
Thanks for any help.[IMG][IMG]
