Cable driven slideouts mechanism
I am considering the purchase of a Montana High Country with the cable drive slideouts. I would like some feedback from owners who have experience with these systems. Are they as reliable as the sales...

My system is on a Prowler with a 15ft living room slide, which is sometimes overloaded with "stuff". I bought the Prowler 10yrs ago used and had to take out slack in the cable on the first trip. After that it has never given me any problems. It is slow and steady and works with out complaint if the front to back level is pretty close. Side to side level does not seem critical but it likes to be level on the rollers front to back.
So my advice is the system works but you may need to tune it up. On mine that was a simple procedure involving a socket wrench, two cable clamps, and some gloves to handle pulling the slack past the clamps. It is a very simple system to work on if you needed to.
