Keep a check on the bracket on the bedroom slide which holds the W/D and the bed. If you 5er has the two lag bolts. I'm glad it happened at the factory.

Lindy,

I'm presuming that you are referring to that bracket that is external of the coach and located at the back of the bedroom slide. Did DRV speak of doing anything in the way of reinforcing existing brackets? I have to wonder if the bracket was damaged because the bedroom slide was extended. Do you happen to know?
