Anyone know what one of these is used for? I found it in a fifth wheel i just picked up.

Looks like a slide support to me. Some slides require support under them when extended.

If that is a slide lock it must be a really small slide!

I am guessing the fifth wheel is a Jayco cause that is exactly the same as the slide locks on the Jayco I had.

Thanks everyone!

It appears to be a slide lock. There's even a nice hole in the cupboard to install it.

Looks similar to my step stabilizer. Keeps the rv from rocking when someone is coming in and out.

Some kind of out-ward force clamp or tensioner. Possibly to hold panels or something in place while adhesive is drying.....guessing.???

Don't think it is a slide lock. Looks more like a factory tool that somehow got left inside by mistake.

Slide lock

Looks like a quick acting stabilizer for under frame next to wheel

Is it time for your medication or mine?

That's what I was thinking, even though it doesn't look anything like the ones that came with my MH, mine look like a short Baton.
