Wiring Harness falling down

The wiring harness underneath the kitchen slide on our 2019 Heritage Glen LTZ 300BH is falling down onto the tires. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fasten the harness underneath better than bungy cords?

Zip ties? They make large ones for securing electric cords.

Without seeing what you're talking about, that's just a guess.

Make a large loop with long zip ties. Don't snug them up tight.

Use edging

Use a piece of flower garden edging from LOWES, works great and will bend
when closing bump out.

If you can post a picture of what you're talking about I'm sure someone here will know how to fix it.

If it has one of those wire channels that the end has broken off of, there's an easy and permanent fix for that using a hinge.

If there is some suitable material to screw into. Get some “Aviation Clamps” large enough to encircle whatever is falling down. Aviation clamps are steel circle clamps with a rubber insert to protect anything they encircle. “Aviation Clamps” are generally required by any installation of electrical wires and cables to prevent a short circuit. Once the clamp encircles whatever happened to be falling down and is attached to a suitable surface with a sheet mental or wood screw, it will likely never fall down again and now be installed to industry standards that were not likely adhered to when the coach was constructed.

If using zip ties be aware that some are much better resisting UV breakdown. I can never remember if its the white or the black, but it should be noted on the packaging.

If the wiring harness moves out with the slide, I would use a spring to support the harness. Be sure if you use ty-raps to allow the harness to flex with the slide and body.
