My Onan drawer slides are worn out. Generator is sagging and despite new cushions, it is bottoming out on the power drawer housing. Any one have a spec on the drawer slides? Cinnabar has none available used currently and when available wants $100 each for each for a used one. The generator is estimated to weigh 479 lbs and replacement slides would have to be rated for a combined 500 lbs. The slides are about 3" tall and extend for a total of 44 inches from the back of the large part of the slide to the narrow slid out part end. I am finding several drawer triple slides that meet those specs on line but wondering if anyone has ordered them and done this job for further advice?
I have the same issue with my Onan. I did a quick search on McMaster-Carr and the only thing I could find that goes to 48" has a weight rating of 400 lbs. That's short of the 500 lbs you way is needed.

One that goes 40" has a rating of 440 lbs per pair.

However, forget those as the price of the 40" slides is $395.12 and the 48" is $547.23! To much for my budget!

I checked 3 AI chatbots and was lead to Amazon where there are a number of "Drawer Slide, Full Extension, 44 in, Heavy Duty, 500 lb" for around a $100/pair. No idea if they would fit.
