Make sure you order the right size

I ordered a single channel not knowing there are different sizes. I have it but feel like I may need to upgrade to a double in the future. Pretty quick install on my 2014 Thor Tuscany XTE. Approx. 15 minutes, including collection of the necessary tools and cleaning.

Pros
  • Sturdy design
Cons
  • Not bad

Terrible repair kit.

Identical replacement for the original product that I am replacing. A HORRIBLE aftermarket product as most of the wires (that I had) are terminated at each end and you can't thread them through the loop mounts provided. without change. I cut one end to route the cables and secured the gap with a zip tie. It will work.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Direct replacement for mine that cracked this winter

Direct replacement up to the mark of the one on my 2016 Freedom Express 276 RKDS trailer's living room slide. I didn't use any hardware other than the retaining clip as I only needed to replace the flex rail so I can't comment on that part but the flex rail installed through the existing rails in about 10 minutes. The hardest part was reinstalling the screws at the end as access to them was inconvenient.

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Concise instructions

Good replacement for van parts and accessories

As others have said, my original one that came with my van broke after a year of use. I bought this to replace it. I used small square pieces holding the wires from the original. All you have to do is pull the long plastic strip out of the squares and reuse them. Other than that, I don't know how you could run a wire through them without unhooking it somewhere. It would be too much work. I think the manufacturer needs to come up with another way to hang the rails. I see this going on for…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Update available

Only buy if you don't need the bracket and pole.

Let's start with the good. The strap fit perfectly and looked like the original equipment. There are no problems with the strap. It worked. Now let's talk about the bad. really bad. The hardware is complete junk. You can see what I mean from the photos. The welding was so hot that the strut deformed so much that it could no longer be used. The weld also penetrated more than 2/3 of the aluminum rod. It would be nice if the weld compensated for the diameter loss, but that's not the case. In my…

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Excessive price
