Yes I would like to know also. Our Dinette slide is the same way ?

I wanted to keep it simple so I cut a piece of Reflectix to fit the opening tightly. DW covered it with black fabric for looks.

Pic of what your doing?
I'm not sure I understand where this said draft is coming from.
I do know where the cold air return is but not sure how there's a draft there.

Dear customer
The stain color is hand mixed by the cabinet door vendor. And they are unable to ship stain to customer. I'm very sorry I can't be much help.

Dear customer
I'm going to give you a long winded answer to help explain. On your model we have to utilize a slide system in the bunkroom that does not drop down completely flush. This is due to the holding tank locations between the frame rails for the 1/2 bath and ext. kitchen sink. The tank locations don't allow us to use a "through frame" slide system. The lip you mentioned is seen when you build this model with an air bed sofa. When it's built with the standard bunks the lip is hidden. Moving the air bed to the edge of this lip will help you to not trip over it. I hope this explains something's. I'm sorry it causes you problems.

just purchased a sabre 31rets-6 this past sat and so far we love it despite not using it just yet.
is there any remedy to speed up the electric jacks short of converting to hydraulics? my neighboors wildcat is zip..boom..done, while mine takes forever. am i overlooking something? is there a hi/lo switch that wasnt explained to me or i overlooked? my old tt landing gear was faster with an impact drill and a socket.

Your 32rlts does not use the same slide as the other customer is asking. I suggest that you have a dealer inspect your unit to see if something is unusual.

Fast is not always a good thing.
Yours are just gear reducted more allowing for more torque.

yeah, but it would be nice to see them move faster extending until they make contact with the ground. maybe my complaint will be completely unfounded after finally getting out to use it a few times.

That makes sense - hope I didn't come across as complaining about it. I figured (well, hoped) there was a design reason and it was a manufacturing mistake. I had gotten looking at the slide on the opposing wall (that does have the standard bunk) and could tell it made sense over there.
It's not so much a problem as just a curiosity. It does cause a bit of a hassle with the pull-out sofa - the screws for the adjustable legs don't extend far enough to account for the height. Y'all don't have extra long screws available, do you? Right now we're just throwing down a couple of boards to make up the difference. It's not pretty, but it works.

Dwaynertz,
I too was diappointed at first with the landing gear retract speed, but then I installed the " Intellijack Automatic 5th Wheel RV Leveling System"
It doesn't travel any faster, but at least I don't have to keep mashing the switch.
