Slide out wiring

[Tom Burt 3115]

I have a 2024 Keystone Outback 343. While getting it up and running for the season. I noticed that the wiring for the large kitchen/living room slide has been rubbing I am guessing on the tire. It has not cut the wires in half yet. But the coating and loom has been damaged. Obviously I am going to get this repaired. Just curious if anyone else has seen this issue. I will attach photos.

Careful, those Trailer King tires will likely wear out before the wiring does.

But seriously, I have seen and worked on a lot of campers but have never seen wires run like that in close proximity to the tires. With the propensity for Trailer King ("China Bombs") to fail, it is only a matter of "when", not "if" the tires fail and destroy anything and everything in that area.

On my previous and also my current camper, the wires come straight out of the floor of the camper zip-tied to a long plastic hinge and a spring well away from the tires, making it impossible for the tires to come anywhere near the wires. If you are going to make repairs, I would consider rerouting the wires, if possible, or at the very least, run them through rigid conduit to give some protection.

Very strange routing. You need to get some appropriate sized springs and suspend that loom after you repair everything. I would be looking hard at a way to reroute that loom. Like Rob said, you need to head to the tire store ASAP. Most of what I read, when those tires go they leave you at least 5 grand light in the wallet.
