Hello there! New to forum -- a couple quick questions...

[thumper300zx]

Can someone please post a photo of a bed slide latch from something similar to our 1995 2518?

The receiver part is missing -- haven't found a replacement part (might fab one, but would need a photo of how it should be). Obviously ours is straight missing

And next, I've found a couple good pictures of the bed slide bolts but just wondered if someone has a full break down of the washer type and order (eg. metal, nylon, nylon spacer, etc). Basically everything is missing from three of mine . I'm including two nice pics I've found on the forum (last two photos).

Already fixed a few little things (one of the added scissor jacks was bent, since just for stability I reshaped it )
One battery is dead -- seeing if I can revive but probably will have to replace.
Will be following of the forum threads on replacing the bed slides (probably do the plastic sheet from Grainger).

Thanks. I had actually seen that, too...it differs from the ones I posted. Do you happen to know which configuration is "correct"/stock?

Not the best picture for the bed latch, but if ya enlarge it you can see the wall plate. My second pic mimics Commodores setup.

Thanks. And above the grooves another nylon washer and the bolt head?

As for the bed slide, I specifically need to see how the bracket/receiver works on the rear bed slide, that would be on the bathroom wall/structure. My front ones are intact and as you show here.

You can get the exact latch and catch from Amazon. The bolt slides through the hole at the top of the arch, not from the side and under the arch. Install the bracket to the bathroom wall similar to KidKraz’s pic (that’s a front bed latch) and then the arch on top of that.

Here’s a pic of the bed support hardware, but I think the pic is downside up.

Came across this in another posting. Truthfully, for my rig, I have forgotten to latch my bed and find the armoire and bathroom walls keeps the bed from sliding. If ya add a thin shim behind the replacement bathroom wall bracket, it shouldn’t interfere when you fold the bathroom down and stow the armoire into place.

Shane, thanks for the picture. I need to replace a broken slide track on my front bed and the bolt setup is just what I needed.

Got it done only a little differently since we found the latch receiver.

Thanks again for the pic. Helped exactly as needed. I'll be using a little filler to clean up the mess left by previous owners
