Coachmen Slide parts

Our 2001 Coachmen Santara has been in the shop, out of service, since July 2nd attempting to get the slide outs fixed. (RBW type). The repair shop has exhausted all efforts in trying to locate parts since Coachmen ceased to exist in 2008. They were bought out by Forest River in 2009, but according to the shop, they have spent hours on the phone looking for answers as to where or who stocks these parts, with no help at all from Forest River. Can anyone offer any help/advice as to where we can find aftermarket RBW slide parts for a 2001 Coachmen Santara Class A motorhome? Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • They also used a cable type system as I have on my prowler. If you look and its that type of system, pm me as I have the manual for it.
  • I found parts for our 2005 Georgie Boy Pursuit from Al-Ko.
  • A quick internet search (RBW slide parts) shows these two places for RBW parts

    Coachman nor Forest River manufactured the slide out hardware....RBW did which was acquired by AL-KO
