Thanks to all that replied to my plea. The solution was simple: Spray a liberal amount of WD-40 on the latching mechanism. (Accumulated grease and oil can gum things up in cold weather.) It worked! Why didn't I think of that?! But, I was lucky too. It could have been a broken mechanism. Thanks to you and Happy 2000! Greg & Val 86.5 Camper Syncro WLE (with working slider) |
