What’s the purpose of the four PVC pipes in my cargo area?
I’m getting our coach ready for the 2023 season. I was up at the storage facility today organizing my cargo compartments. My coach had four PVC pipes with caps on them in the cargo area. I didn’t measure them, but they appear to be roughly three feet long. All four of them are the same length. What is the purpose of these pipes?
Thanks

Are you the original owner? I have never seen any standard/stock items with a coach

Drunken Baton twirling around the campfire?
Or temporary bay door prop rods perhaps?

I’m the second owner, so my assumption is that the original owner used them for something. They look home made.

It looks like a measuring stick to make sure you can open the drivers side slides so you don't hit something. I made one out of PVC.

I wondered if that might be it, but four pipes that are the same length doesn’t make sense. One of my slides goes out further than the other three.

Slide locks for when the slides are in?

The coach has automatic mechanical slide locks when they’re closed, so I don’t think that’s it.

Rollers to move heavy stuff in / out of bays?
Or, try to as whomever you bought it from.

Does your coach have a set of 4 shelves about this same length? Maybe a protective rail to keep things on shelves? DR

With the slide in, check to see if they fit to lock the slide as shootist said.

They sure resemble these

Adjustable tension rods. There appears to be some writing on the ones in your picture, what does it say?

If all else fails. These may be to assist in keeping the slides from moving out. Slide working using hydraulic fluid and having no electric lock will freely move. If your driving the slide will move out. Happened to me. This are set on the top on the slide when closed, keeps the slide from moving.

Are they the width of the slide or the bay. Maybe used as dividers like those used in truck beds.
