Lippert Schwintek slide out system

Has any one had any experience with this system. The front will not go out with out help. Once moving it will go by it self. I t will always come in with no problems though.

  • Schwintek has online a couple of videos how to trouble shoot. You might watch them and go through the steps. Also, make sure when you use the slide to run it all the way out, and all the way in each time you use it. It could be yours is in a slight bind due to the opposite ends being out of sync with each other.

    EDIT: to re-time it, here is a video showing how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSafAnjxIV4

    Come back and let us know if this works please.
  • Have a tech look it over immediately before it gets any worse.

    Schwintek was a good idea and can work well IF installed properly but we have trailers that don't have a reputation for being built properly. Both of my slides have it and my main slide had to be rebuilt after breaking. I would never have another RV with that system. Neither will Voltage as they have changed over to a cable system.
  • I don't own one. Judging from some of the scuttle I've read on here about them, I don't know if I ever will. If you do a search here or on most other RV websites, I'm sure you will get plenty of reading material. Good luck.

    B.O.
  • Your slide probably needs to be adjusted, or the power to your slide is low, i.e., weak batteries, bad connection.
