Slide out wiring support

[RETIREDE7]

I HAVE A 2005 CARDINAL WITH 3 SLIDE OUTS. A 3 INCH WIDE 3 TO 4 FT PLASTIC SUPPORT STRIP IS LOCATED UNDER THE SLIDE OUT TO SUPPORT THE WIRING BUNDLES THAT ARE NEEDED FOR OPERATION OF SEVERAL ITEMS INSIDE THE 5TH WHEEL.

THE PLASTIC STRIP HAS AGED AND BROKEN. THE CURRENT STRIP HAS THE WORDS "QUICK DRAW PRODUCTS" STAMPED ON IT BUT WITH NO PART NUMBER. CANNOT FIND THE PART IN RV SHOPS OR THRU GOOGLE. ANY IDEA FOR A SUBSTITUTION FIX OR LOCATION TO GET THE PART?

THE RV MFG. IS NOT AVAILABLE !!!!

Wiremold products work?

Common problem with the Quik Draw wire supports--you can get them from Lippert Components, but I suggest you just get a common door hinge (plated to resist corrosion) and put it where the break is. At the frame end--attach one side of the hinge to the frame, other to the support. Somewhere in the support itself--attach one side of the hinge to each half of the support. Use plated bolts and put the nuts on the side away from the wires to prevent snags/wear. Very simple and common repair.

OK, Thanks to you folks I now have a wiring support being shipped to me. I contacted "Lippeert Components" - 1-866-524-7821 and talked to Don May. He found the wiring support assy. as part no 134628.
Cost is $43.75 plus shipping. The support comes with all attachements, screws ect.
Might be a bit expensive but I use the RV for business travel and if the wires come down while traveling on the road it could cost more if caught in the wheels.
Besides I'm helping the economy !
Take care out there it is getting crazy!!

PS Thanks "Wingnut60"

The next time it happens on a different slide, rather than supporting the economy, you might want to try Wingnut's suggestion. I used a standard door hinge on three of my slides.

On a 2005 model, you are very fortunate it has not happened before--all 3 of mine have broken. I got one new--it broke--and figured the hinge was a way better way to go. So far, no broken hinges...
This is another one of the aggravations that RV mfgs have not figured out--guess the replacement parts business is too good to fix the problem.

Everyone I know that has had the problem have replaced the attachment point with a metal door hinge. That's where I'm going as well when mine break, and they will.

And if the wires supported by the plastic are going thru looms, how you gonna get the wires out and back in? Thats the main reason, besides cost and breaking again, that I went with the hinges.
