Hello Flyingbob12. Welcome aboard. I wish I could give you immediate info on where to find those bars, but I can't. I did want to let you know from what I have read that a lot of owners don't even use them. I assume you have a kitchen slide in your 36' Windsor. My 01, 34' PBD Windsor has the kitchen slide, but has the auto slide locks that lock when the slide is all the way in. My brother in law had a 2003 H.R. Neptune, 34'. Also my neighbor had the same coach, a Caymen. They both had the larger living slide in theirs and after a while never used the slide locks. After an 11K trip around the U.S., on horrible roads at times, his slide never moved out at all. This is my own experience and does not mean that you should not use them. I hope someone else here with more experience with those locks will chime in here. Just a thought, you might try Visone RV Salvage to see if they have any that were left in totaled coaches in their yard. Just Bing or Google Visone RV salvage for their web site. Hope this info is some help to you and good luck!

The locks are fine until the day that you forget to remove them and proceed to run the slide out. Not a good day......
Iv'e never used them and our slide stays in place.
Iver.

Slide out Locking Bars
I guess I'm just another one that has never used them. In 62K miles, they've never moved while traveling over some real crappy roads.
Don't know if that's just luck or what.They came with the coach and are
still in the drawer under the long sofa. That doesn't mean you shouldn't
use them, assuming you find them, of course. Check the drawer under the sofa and under the bed. Might also be in one of the outside compartments.

Our 2006 Diplomat has four slides and just the right front slide had a locking bar. In addition, none of the slides have auto-locking mechanisms. Guess Monaco didn't think they were needed for the other three slides. We've never used the locking bar and none of the slides have ever moved. Even the RR never moved with one of the pinion gears broken! (There was a pop while we were retracting the RR slide and I couldn't find where it came from. Discovered the broken shaft when we arrived at our next destination.. .)

Slide lock out bars
Every time I take the coach anywhere,just to the repair facility etc., the slide will come out about 3 or 4 inches.

If you have a hydraulic slide mechanism, you can try the out and hold and the in and hold method.
Iver.

Sure.
With the slide in the retracted position, extend the slide until it stops but continue to hold the switch for a few more seconds. You should hear the pump motor slow down.
Then retract the slide until it is fully in but again hold the switch for a few more seconds. You may have to repeat this again but this "usually" cures the problem.
I believe this removes any air out of the hydraulic lines.
This definitely worked for me but I still might have to repeat this once a year because our slide does not get used that much.
Good luck, Iver

Put them on once when the coach was new and almost forgot to take them off when we reached our destination. Would have ruined my first trip.
