Quick Tip: RV drawer removal secret

By Dustin Simpson
An RV owner in one of our California RV Specialists Facebook groups posted the below photo and asked, “I don’t see any obvious release tabs on these drawers… Got the secret? Please share.”

RV drawer removal secret

Our Facebook groups are filled with a bunch of owners, and me, who love to help everyone out. One of the members replied, “See the black lever pointing out in the middle of the slide? Push the right side down and the left side up and it should slide out easily.”

He’s right! And at some point, you will have to remove a drawer from its cabinet to make some type of repair or replacement and this little secret should help you. Every drawer slide has a method to disconnect its members from each other so you can remove the drawer safely and conveniently.

We hope this information comes in handy. Thank you for following us on RVtravel.com.

Our Facebook groups

These Facebook groups were created to help educate owners about parts, problems, repairs, fixes, and upgrades on RV units. We will be sharing videos that include WHAT’S IN THE SHOP? and SHOP TALK episodes with information on accessories and products that we use and install on the units from the shop.

We try and help, as time allows, to answer questions and problems. We encourage others to share their experience so we can build a resource page to help everyone.

Please follow us on YouTube and other social media pages.

Please feel free to share your stories, problems, and upgrades with us so we can build a resource page to help others.

Thank you,
Dustin
