THE SLIDEOUT ROOM RETAINING CLAMPS ("TRAVEL LOCKS") CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WAS HIT, (NEARLY ON THE BACK OF THE HEAD) BY A LOOSE "TRAVEL LOCK" WHICH VIBRATED OUT OF PLACE DUE TO SLIDEOUT ROOM VIBRATION. THERE IS NO _POSITIVE_ MEANS OF SECURING THE CLAMP (TRAVEL LOCK) IN PLACE... ONLY FRICTION. THE CLAMP (TRAVEL LOCK) JUST VIBRATES OUT OF POSITION AS THE SLIDEOUT ROOM VIBRATES WHEN THE COACH TRAVELS DOWN THE ROAD. MONACO DOES NOT PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONS OR DIAGRAM OF SLIDEOUT LOCK INSTALLATION. THE (CLAMP TRAVEL LOCK) WAS INSTALLED AT DELIVERY TO FIT BETWEEN THE METAL FLANGE OF THE SLIDEOUT AND THE WALL. MONACO'S SUGGESTION TO TIGHTEN THE CLAMP ANY MORE WOULD MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO FIT. MONACO'S SUGGESTION TO ADJUST THE LOCK SO IT FITS BETWEEN THE WOOD FASCIA AND WALL IS MEANINGLESS SINCE, AT THE LARGEST ADJUSTMENT, THE CLAMP (TRAVEL LOCK) IS STILL 1 1/2" TOO SHORT. MONACO SHOULD PROVIDE TRAVEL LOCKS WITH A POSITIVE MEANS OF SECURING IN PLACE, NOT JUST FRICTION.*AIK
