Anyone own a 2013 Columbus 320RS? Slide problems?

Hi everyone! I am considering buying one of these from a private seller.

If you have had or know of any problems with this model, I would love to know, as someone had mentioned a bedroom slide problem with this particular year model. Thanks in advance for your help!

    Their slides aren't any different than most. It all depends on what system they use. Columbus doesn't make the mechanism. Are they hydraulic, cable or Schwintec mechanisms? Find out what they have and do a search on that specific type. Sometimes they use more than one kind on the same rig.

    Yes our's has both the Schwintec motor and the electric slide outs(both made by Lippert). The Schwintec operate the smaller slides and the electric operates the larger one.
  • Look under the slides and see if their is a fabric that shows wear or tearing and what the slide bottoms are made of I.E. Fabric, hard materials, etc. Then come back and give us your findings. I own a Forest River Prime Time Crusader
