Storage bin won't open
« on: August 05, 2018, 07:56:55 pm »
Well the day came and the RV came home temporarily. Now have to find a real parking place our old property sold and gone. As I was going through the bins I came up with surprises, the drawer at the bottom of the big bin at the rear passenger side of the 2910T wont budge. It has handles that you pick up and pull it looks like ..  no pull.
Then on drivers side the second bin first mechanism does not catch.. it can be locked no doubt but it does not catch onto anything. One does one does not.However this one will open.
P S I plan to use a big skinny kitchen knife to slide along the top if that is possible and see if the big bin has something intruding and that is why it wont open. That works in the kitchen. Will find out if too much stuff packed in. Cannot ask Jim now. SO it is my problem to solve.

Ok I had a clue in call and now I remember the big bin shelf sits on the drawer and I think ours is screwed down but I have tools so that can be remedied. And then I can see what is holding it tight so it wont open. Amazing what you can remember when you get a konk on your head by phone. Thanks L    and now waiting for daylight and I will be out with my electric screwdriver. P

Regarding the drawer that appears to be stuck, open the swing up door above the drawer and lift the hinged shelf and see if something is catching such that the drawer won't open.  If there is a lot of "stuff" in the drawer, it takes a lot of pulling to get it to start to open...at least ours does.  Sorry I don't have any suggestion for dealing with the other bin you are having problems with.

Well I made progress and the drawer was overfilled but not to the top. Just stuff. And it is still difficult to open. Now for the other bin I will look at the hinged side to see if any hope there since the door is not evenly lined up and the one side does not catch and no adjustments on catch side. And so one side can be locked. ho hum. P
