2022 HC 295RL bedroom slide

[182flyer]

Hello all, just got back from our 2 month RV/airplane trip through the NW. This is the first extended use of our new 295RL. Last half dozen or so bedroom slide retractions the bedroom slide bed frame is rubbing on the floor near the end of it's cycle. When we got home we extended all slide outs to empty trailer and noticed the bedroom slide rubbing floor hard enough to actually dismantle bottom right bed frame. We'll have to dismantle bed frame, repair and we'll order and use the slide out plastic sliders so bed frame doesn't gouge vinyl flooring any more than it already did=fairly minor as we caught it immediately.

Has anyone else seen this on a new Montana? I took pics and will be sending to dealer we bought from but I know we can fix damage to bed frame as good as dealer so won't be wasting time taking back to dealer unless when we get into the repair we see some major issues. Pics sent to dealer are just to put them on notice of issue.
Thanks
Jack

Having dismantled bedframe we found the bedframe bottom is two 1 1/2" boards "stapled" sideXside and they are supposed to travel over the roller attached to floor. One board was only on the roller 1/2" or less and eventually the two boards separated allowing the bedframe to drop to the vinyl floor. Repair will be "screwing" a 2x4 to the top of the two 1 1/2" boards and using wood screws to pull the 1 1/2" boards back together and reinforce. The paneling had to be removed from the bottom of the bedframe to see this issue. Not really a big deal repair, just time consuming.

This appears to be a common problem with the new rigs. Montana changed from rollers attached to the bed frame (with their own set of issues) to rollers bolted to the floor. The floor mounted rollers are much more secure than the previous technique.

*BUT* the old worlds craftsmen are not installing the rollers in the center of the bed frame rails. I don't know if it is due to a bad template or measurements. Consequently the bed frame can s(and will) lip off the rollers. There are no "L" brackets in the frame and it does twist easily resulting in the slippage.

Early signs are wood dust and shavings on the floor (no it is not left over from the constructions like you might thing) and floor gouging.

There were two of these problems at the recent CPPR. One resulted in the bed separating from the wall. The other was on the way to the dealer for other repairs and it was added to the list.
