I have a 31TS and under the slid outs the wire guides are broken that hold up the 12v lighting wire. Dose anyone have the same problem. Dealer is ordering new ones.javascript:emoticonp('

Many of us have had the same problem. I'm not sure who started the DIY post but we replace the plastic guides with a zinc plated hinge and tie up the cable with a plastic wire tie.

Yep, many of us have had the problem. Mine was replaced with the wider model which broke again, then I put the hinge on it and now it is broken for the third time. Just a bad design. I'm going to try to find some sort of coiled cord to replace it.

We had a HR tt with the coil cord for the slidout , never had problem. Like you said poor design. Overall had very little problem. Made a few changes. My wife Love the floor plan. I'm just a Driver & fix it man. Thank for your replies

I re-ordered the original and within the year it has broke again....what a POS! To top it off, when I ordered it from FR, the shipping was as much as the product. Time to go to the drawing board. I like the coiled type return I see on some other brands.
