Slides with cables
How are slides with cables holding up? I am looking at some lightweight 5vers like Cougar that have them.

We have seen 2 lemon law enforcements about cable operated slides on a TT. That co. was out of business quick.
I would be hesitant about a cable system, as they do require pulleys, cables stretch,fray, do not always level wind.
Look at pop ups that necessarily use cables. Most last for many years with no trouble, however when there is a problem it renders the unit unuseable as there is usually no way to open it any other way
Hyd., rack & pinion, geared slides can be moved even without the motor working.
