Drawer slides

Our 2012 Georgetown 327 has three 18" drawer boxes that need new slides. What's confusing is while the box is 18" the distance to the back wall where the frame will mont is 21". Do I need to get 2 separate sizes?Click image for larger version

Why are you trying to replace them, never heard of a drawer slide going bad.

I made a.right turn and a drawer. came flying out and bent the rail. All the little ball bearings went all over the place. The guides that came with it are very flimsy.

In our current coach the slides under the bench are different - some kind of a plastic locking system ( which has broken several times and my DH goes to Lowes and buys replacements. But in our last coach, there was a hinged door with nothing but an empty space so he built drawers for me (wonderful!). We keep them locked in place with latches.Click image for larger version

Those are standard slides available at Lowes and others. They do come packaged in set pairs and are available with easy close which will hold the drawer in place. Not expensive. Just remove and replace where they are currently installed. The drawer piece can extend beyond the drawer. Sounds like someone cut it off if it does not currently do that.

OP, you need to get the 21" size you will need to get to the back wall

If you are concerned take one of the cabinet mounted slides with you to match up at the store.
