My 09 Open Range has cable slides. Before Open Range started using them you only found them on more expensive coaches. Like most mechanical systems they only continue to work if you take care of them. Most of that is simple observation. Read the instructions and keep an eye on the tightness of the cables. If they get too loose you can have problems. Adjustment is not that difficult. If a cable gets frayed it need replaced. We camp very often and have never had a cable fray. We did have one stretch beyond available adjustment. Simple disconnect of the cable and added a clamp to the folded over end to shorten the cable. You can also buy a cable replacement kit to carry in your unit. It will take up about 1/2" x 8" x 8". Try storing one hydraulic hose or hydraulic ram in that space.
