Slides with Refrigerator Question

With the refer moving it makes possible a large pantry that you have to move the slide partway out to open so you learn to not put the cereal in there when traveling.

The improvement in the handling with a tag is well worth it and once you've owned you will not settle for anything else. I made sure this rig had the TRW steering gear box which I had to adjust as there was 2" of slop for the first 200 miles. Took 4 minutes to fix.



If you are still in Fla, there is a overpriced 08 Navigator in LaBelle. I paind $165K a year ago with the same miles.

I have a Norcold 1200 in my full-wall slide. It works fine. 2010 Winnebago Journey. Power Gear slide mechanism.

2008 American Eagle. It originally had a 4 door Nocold in the FWS. 25 months ago replaced fridge with a Samsung RF18 residential unit. To date no problems with slide or fridge.

The residential fridge uses less power, and stays colder.
