Slide Locking Bar

[erm626]

With all of this crummy weather lately, I've watching a few Youtube Videos. One video that caught my attention was. Using the Slide locking Bar. It's my understanding that Rockwood No longer supplies these Bars. What was the purpose of these Slide Locking Bars. I am guessing, they are NO longer necessary.

They where used to prevent the slide from accidentally sliding out while traveling. Also folks would for get to remove them when they got ready to put slides out so you can see what kind of damage that would do.They are no longer used and have not had them since my 2011 tt which i never used them then. Don't need them with the improvements made on slides. Later RJD

Here some threads on subject: it depends on what type of slide operating mechanism you have on the RV/trailer

I wonder if the Slide out Bar would make a good accessory for a pick up truck's cargo bed, to keep things from shifting ? What else could it be used for ?
Thanks for the Explanation.....

My slide lock bars were too short to reach across the bed of my truck, I tried, as they were the same concept as truck bed bars.
