The upper drawer right side drawer slide below sink needs to be replaced. Where can I get a replacement? I've tried AMAZON but it is not a direct replacement.
The Vehicle is a Winnebago/Thor on a Mercedes Chassis
VIN NO: WDAPF4CC4GP260433 Year 2017
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks, Bill and Linda
 
Unless you can find a manufacturer's name & part number on the drawer slides and then get lucky enough to locate a supplier who sells that exact item (in which case you'd almost certainly have to buy a set of two guides) I would suggest going to any home improvement store and buying a new set of the correct length.

Drawer slides are almost all standardized at 1/2" wide (each). Measure their length and buy a new set. They usually come in even inch lengths (16", 18", 20" etc).

You can get full extension slides as short as 10" (maybe even shorter!)- typically in 2" increments.
There are many kinds, but I would suggest for the RV, KV 8400 'stay-closed' slides, that I used in my Rilata remodel.
The ones in Thor coaches are the cheapest POS's made as you would expect, and held with as few screws as possible.

Rockler.com has every sort of glide and slide. That is where I buy that sort of stuff. Lowes and Home Depot have a good selection buy not the self-closing ones I prefer. Rocker and Etsy have drawers premade of all sizes.
 
I like self-closing drawer guides for kitchen cabinets. (one of my hobbies is woodworking & cabinet making) But I'm not sure if the self-closing mechanism is strong enough for an RV drawer (and the self-closing versions will tend to cost more). Thus they'd still need some sort of drawer latch to keep them secure driving down the road.

Winnebago/Thor? What in the world is this?

I have self-closing glides on my trash-door/drawer (floor mount) under the sink. DW loves it. Haven't had it open accidentally in five years. I don't think is would use them on a big drawer like the one where I store 4 gal jugs of water. I suppose the drop-lock type would work on a heavily laden drawer.

We had a problem in our 5th wheel until I installed child safe locks that used a magnet to release and when set up at camp spot you push a button so locks are not activated.
