Coachmen Mirada bedroom drawers

Has any one had trouble with the tracks that the drawers run on? The drawers under the closet the tracks that the drawers run on busted off. The runners and the nylon wheels broke from some one over loading the drawers. Need ideas on how to fix them so it won't happen again.

You should be able to replace the damaged hardware at Home Depot or Lowes with something stronger. Just take the broken pieces and a drawer with you. Be sure and take lots of photos to show how new parts will be used. Measure everything...make a drawing.

You would think these RV companies would wake up and quite using plastic. Does not cost that much to use good metal rollers and tracks. Later RJD

Repaired mine 3x. Cheap. Next time I visit HD I will see what they suggest. If it is worthwhile, I will post.

I ended up replacing all the rear slide brackets. I also added additional screws on the back wall to take the drawer weight. The plastic brackets seem under designed for the weight of the drawers. I bought spares.
