Slide crimps water lines, drain and lp line

I have a 2011 Monaco Knight, it's a great MH. But when I bring in the galley slide it bends the water lines, sink drain and lp line to the extent that when I slide it out I have to pull a wooden panel and try to straighten them out before we can use the lines.

What scares me is that sooner or later the LP lines is going to break.

Has anyone experienced this problem?

Thank you-be safe.

Steve

Something has to be wrong, are you the original owner of the coach??

I would contact Monaco and explain what is happening and ask if they will send you a send you, a drawing and/or picture of the assembly.

I have a picture of mine from the factory that they provide to dealers for repair purposes.

Our coach, an 05 navigator, has had similar problems. If you consider that all of the hoses, hot cold, drain, electrical have to slide in and out several hundred times in say ten years it is no wonder we have problems. In order to do that all of the hoses- wires have to form a large coil to slide in and out. They all terminate on the non moving part of the coach in a plastic manifold. Right where they terminate is where all the twisting and turning goes on. It is also where the leaks happen. Ours has leaked twice and the grey water hose is currently leaking a small bit. Sort of the nature of the beast.

I am the second owner. I purchased it a year ago. I've just been putting up with it. I bought it from Lazy Days, don't imagine I can reach original owner.
