Designer 35RLTS and Jayco Talk...Thanks Frank!!

Well after 10 years we are moving on to a toy hauler. We love our Designer but we were not anticipating a family when we first purchased it. We're staying in the Jayco family and getting a Jayco Seismic 4113. Garage for maybe a few toys but really a bedroom for the two kiddos. Now time to change the signature!

Most that I've seen go between the top of the slide and the wall on the same side; an expanding "jack".

We have slide locks on our mobile medical vans that lock with a bar attached to both inside slide walls, is that what your referring to?

Do you mean just the top or are you talking about the entire slide moving out? We have only had on turn that I know of where the slide leaned out a bottle of water and the handle of our daughters wagon went under the slide and sandwiched between it and the floor. The only thing better was it was on the linoleum. The linoleum lost that battle.

I was contemplating slide locks because my daily driver is a newer Camaro with the track package suspension. I like to corner!

Camaro as a tow vehicle, now that sounds like fun.

No, ours pops out at the bottom. It's like that last little lift the slide does before "clicking" in place. That's where its failing

Hi y'all!

Our '08's dining room slide did that a bit. We eventually had to push on it/pull on it to get the slide in and out. The bolt that holds the rod that connects the front of the slide to the back of the slide (where the slide motor is, had sheared off.

We had it replaced by a tech. I'm glad i watched, because the next travel day, the same thing happened. I added more cushioning so the second bolt was tighter, and all has been well since.

Best wishes to all. 61,000 miles and still going! :D

Maybe that's why our 1996 Designer 3030RKSS and 2000 Designer XL 3610RLTS both came with slideout locking bars. I'm assuming the newer ones don't???

Hey Folks,
Been a while. Hope everyone is doing well. Just got back from a 30 day road trip up to the North Atlantic US region. It was most relaxing and we hated to park the 5vr in its spot. The roads were absolutely terrible but we survived. I have a quick question. Does anyone else have issues with the dining slide popping out while in motion? Ours comes out 2-3 inches while in motion. I'm sure the roads have a lot to do with it but we've been through much worse. It does close again and seems to lock. We didn't have that slide loaded down with stuff so now its time to figure out why. We don't have but 35k miles of road time.

I've lost one on each side and need to replace and repair. Looking at the 17.5's early next near. With new baby there will be no camping until then!

Also had a goodyear G614 tire lose it's tread. Was lucky no damage.Tires were over 5 years old so were due for a replacement. Replaced with 17.5 Goodyear G114s.Hope this will put an end to tire problems for a while.
