2022 23DBH - Gray Wolf - Can not open window

[RaCreative]

We just picked up our first travel trailer from Lancaster, Ca, today. My wife and I are very new to RVs, and after we got it home, we leveled it out and decided to sit at the dining table inside the slide. It was getting hot, and we wanted to open the sliding window... we could not get it to budge, and it felt like if we pulled too hard on the plastic handle, it might break. I read some people used butter knives to get the rubber seals to allow the glass to slide, and some people have used baby powder. However, from looking at our windows, I do not see anywhere we can do either of these tricks to get it to slide open. I can't find any videos nor instructions for these windows. Does anyone have any suggestions? We would be grateful! I have attached a picture for reference.

The handle is also a locking tab. Pull it towards you then slide the window to the right.

Welcome to the forum its a great place to get your questions answered. They can become stuck from sitting in the sun and not being moved for who knows how long. You might try a two person approach one pulling on the handle while the other pulls on the frame good luck

That was the trick! I had been rocking the tab forward like it was on a lever. It actual pulls straight out to unlock and then it slid open with ease. Thank you very much @necamper

Thank you @seadog I am looking forward to being a part of this forum. Very excited to have a travel trailer and I am full of newbie questions! I am sure this will be my go to place for questions, advice and stories for many years to come.

Everyone above was correct!! I also keep a can of spray silicone dry lube for the window slides and the rubber parts!!

Thank you. I will definitely keep a can in my tool kit!

I too was struggling with opening the window. My wife had to show me how this last weekend at the lake. I'm glad I'm not the only one!!
