Losing Ball Bearings

We have a 2017 Newmar Canyon Star 3513. It has a full wall slide out. We have found what appear to be ball bearings, smaller than BBs, on the floor in one area after putting the large slide out. My assumption is that these have come from one of the inside rollers that roll across the floor helping to support the slide out when it's pulled in. We have found these twice, first 2 and then 4 on the following move. It's about the 3rd roller from the back.
My questions are:
Has anyone experienced this?
Is there anyone who knows of a simple fix?
How critical is this? It doesn't appear to me to be something to get immediate work done on.

I think they are from the drawers. One of my drawers ball bearing mechanism failed and had those suckers were all over the place. So check your drawers if one of them is not opening or closing smoothly that may be the issue.

I found several ball bearings in the front of my coach that turned out to be from the drivers seat swivel. The seat had a rocking that wasn't stock.
Had to replace the whole pedestal. Haven't found any since.

Your coach is much newer, but we experienced ball bearings come from the slide rollers. Replaced the rollers. Actually just did it for the 2nd time at about 82k miles.

Welcome to the forum, Lyn
I would say its a roller bearing braking down if ball bearings under the slide, the bearings maybe in the bracket that holds the roller and needs to be changed before it damages to floor covering.
Here is a link that will cover many other items in your coach you need to know about plus all the links below in my signature have more info.
Enjoy the forum and safe travels.
