I therefore took an oscillating multi-tool with a carbide blade and cut my own notch in the column. The column is made of aluminum so it's not that tough to cut. The notch is 1 inch wide and 5.25 inches long.
Excellent idea about the multi-tool to cut the notch.
I was sitting in my RV staring at that Schwintek frame saying to myself "I don't want to remove that frame. I don't want to remove that frame. etc." I think Dutchmen put eternabond on the slide frame rails which is really good until you want to remove the frame. I don't think I could budge the frame without damaging the lamination and gel-coat on the RV side.
Then I had the brainstorm to cut a notch but I can barely get my hand in there (slide fascia and cupboards). I was going to post a question here asking how to cut the notch, but you presciently answered my question. Thanks.
I'll let you know how it works out. Maybe photos if it goes well :B
