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...

Cable slides work great until they don't work great any more. Then it is really very tough to find anyone that really knows how to fix and align them properly.
It's best that you learn as much as you can about them and learn to fix and align them yourself. Then you'll have no problems.
I must have gotten a big Lemon. I had problems with both of my slides. Very difficult to find someone knowledgeable and willing to work on this system. Access to the drive motor and cables is very limited. Each slide has a total of 8 cables. I have had other slides that were virtually trouble-free compared to the cable slides. Personally, I would never buy another RV of any type with this type of slide mechanism.
