Slidelocks 2002 Monaco Windsor

[uffdaracer]

Hello fellow RVers! My Monaco Windsor (40PWD) has automatic slide locks built by Dewald Mfg. The internal tension springs broke and I have thus far not been able to find replacements. Dewald Mfg. was acquired by Power Gear Corp. which was acquired by Actuant corporation.(Yea, I know!). I would like to find a dealer that knows something about these, I.E. schematics, part #s, better yet actually have these custom built springs in stock. Thanks, Mike

Mike, hope the attached PDF of the locks will be of help.

If you have an unbroken spring, you can take it to a custom spring manufacturer and they should be able to make one for a few dollars. We have a local place here in Norfolk that makes all kinds of springs.

Rex; Thanks a lot for the schematic. I think this is a wonderful site. I have enjoyed helping others with MH issues myself. Happy travelling!!

I know this may sound like a dumb question, but did you check with Monaco parts. I have been able to get parts from them that really surprised me that they had them! Also, folks on here have posted names of dealers who stock a lot of old Monaco parts. See below:

Veurinks RV | Holiday Rambler Motorhome Dealer | K-Z RV | Dutchmen Infinity RV | Kodiak RV and Aspen Trail Sales

Home - Beaver Coach Sales and Service - 62955 Boyd Acres Road Bend, OR 97701

Northwest RV Supply

RV Supplies and Accessories | Bontragers Surplus Inc.

I'm sure there are others, these are just ones I saved in my "Favorites" .
Good luck & God bless!


MERRY CHRISTMAS!
