I was wrong here, you can barely see any of it.

Just went out to do what BombDoc had suggested....the plastic piece is part of the floor ...not the slide! It does not move with the slide. So.... mine has come loose from the floor. Now..how to fix?

I had the same thing happen to my dinette side slide. I took it back to the dealer to be repaired. When I picked it up they told me it was a bigger job than they thought it would be. I guess they had to almost remove the slide to repair it. From what I gather it's there to protect the edge of the floor of the main unit while the slide is retracting.

I have a 2013 36QBOK. Is there a reflective decal/mirror for the front cap, that would help with aligning when hitching up? Thanks

Older models had them.

Pm oldcoot he has made one that sets on the pin box plate.
He has pictures.

What I have won't work on the fiberglas cover on the pinbox. It has to sit in the holes on the Reese Revolution pinbox.

Dear Customer
You need to have this fixed by a dealer ASAP. Moving it in and out can cause damage.

The white plastic piece with the holes in it is what concerns me. The slide moves in and out freely as far as I can tell. Part of it is coming out from underneath the slide. Something has come loose from under the slide. What is this part attached to? What is it supposed to do? What happens if I continue to use the slide?
Thanks for your help.
Dear customer,
Your slide out glide bar has come loose. It needs fixed ASAP. Running the slide out in and out without this can damage things. See a dealer as quick as you can.

Sorry for the delay.

Not sure if this will help you or not LaydBack, but I have taken the center headrest out of the backseat (nobody sits in the middle anyway.) Made an immediate difference in my ability to see when hitching. I also only try to get it within a certain range from left to right. The hitch plate in the truck moves side to side and when I back in. As long as I am in close enough range it goes right in and locks in place.

I read in this long thread about the Factory PDI being random, but having an option to request your unit being built to go through this PDI. Is this correct? If so I would be interested in this as I have recently ordered a Sabre via dealer.

That'd probably work, but I have the solid fold bed top and it prevents me from seeing the hitch. I actually would have to have something on the trailer to see it. I've not had issues and have even done it without the wife sighting me in. I don't have the painted pinbox, but was wanting something that doesn't look homemade, but if it gets to be a necessity, I will do something similar to Old Coot.

Dear Customer
I wasn't aware that a customer could request their unit to be sent to the PDI building. But I heard through the grape vine that this was mentioned during a recent Frog tour. I suggest for you to ask your selling dealer to contact their Sabre Account Manager and ask if it can be done. I hope this helps.

Sorry I'm viewing via mobile app and your signature line I can't see.

Don't you have an insurance card?
Registration?
Bill of sale?

Well one other saving grace would be to call your insurance agent to get vin.

Mr. Sabre Sam, I was wondering what the bunk/ couch options are for sure in the 36qbok for trailers getting built in the next few months? I have seen the air bed couches, the just plain bunk instead of a couch, and the sleep and play like we had in our 2013 Puma 295kbh.
-I saw a recliner-couch in a Crusader 360bhs that would fold flat like a futon but each side could recline individually as well. Enclosed is a pic of this couch-recliner, I would love to have one in my trailer when we order it shortly. Is this possible and or what are the official options for this area on the 36qbok?
Thanks so much for your time!
Luke
