removing a drawer

[Gdlow]

Ok...I feel a little dumb asking this, but have a drawer in the MH (2005 Dolphin)
that wife uses for silverware...the catch came loose, but not the
portion on the drawer, the one on the cross member under the
drawer...typically drawers tip out pretty easily, but this one
doesn't seem to and I can't see a slot under it where it would...I
don't want to force it...(as I really want to)...So...any suggestions???

[cannon man]

ditto. can't see how the drawers come out. whats the trick?

Just pull firm with two hands

Richard is right, they are a tight friction fit, just pull firmly.

I agree that a firm pull will remove the drawers (in my '99 anyway). However, I am in the process of locating suitable replacement drawer slides, because when I removed the bedroom drawers to access some wiring, the ball bearings in the drawer slide mechanism all fell out, and cannot be placed back in without bending the glide mechanism.
So far, I have not found replacements that are the appropriate length. Looks like I will have to buy one and cut it to fit.
Has anyone found a good replacement drawer slide that works better than the originals?

take the mfg info from the slide and call Rockler or their web site.Should be able to provide a slide. They have a large selection.

I have some of the exact originals that I bought one time. I tried to find a better replacement that would allow the drawer to extend a bit further but have had no luck. Also thought about side mounted units but our frames are to built to be able to use them. I'm assuming that you have under drawer mounted slides.
The stock and replacement units are of a poor design to say the least. Just a little downward pressure will pop the darn thing off of its track.
