has anyone found a fix for the drawer under the curb side dinette seat? mine is so stubborn when it comes to getting it open, you have to wiggle it left/right up/down etc. and the fact that you you have bend down under the table just makes it worse.
anyone added drawer slides or something?

I am using dual wood slides under mine. You can also use silicone spray to lube the old track.

I think I may have found the issue, the two guide boards underneath that are attached to the floor, I think are just a touch to far apart. each one is right against the outer edge of the runner grove, right against it. this leaves no wiggle room and makes it tight. you can see in these two pics, I may try grinding a bit off the two outer edges and see if that helps.

I rubbed wax (can use a candle) on the guides. It helped. I did this to all the drawers in the camper.

Our plan to remove the top of the cabinet and hinge it so I don't have to crawl under the table to get at it.

I had an old chest of drawerswith drawers like that and I rubbed the bottom with a generous amount of regular bath soap. That was about 5 years ago and it still slides beautifully.

I agree with the above. Also, check the drawer top and bottom for interference. A judiciously used belt sander can do wonders...
