Voltage slides

I know there were issues with the slides when the Voltage first came out. It seems like many of these were related to large slide outs, maybe larger than the Schwintek system is capable of handling.

I haven't read much lately on issues specific to the slides recently. Does this appear to be a resolved issue with new designs and/or updated slide outs?

Thanks.

    Well there had to be at least one that worked that year ;)

    We have a 2013 Voltage, and we have the schwintec slides. We are always hooked up to shore power or generator, and completely level before we move the slides. So far we are all good as well, with the exception of leaving one of the end windows open in the big slide while trying to close it. Amazingly the window didn't break when we wedged it against the side of the trailer!


    This is a great point! I also level the rig prior to extending the slides and retract them before hooking up and raising the jacks.

  • Have a 2015 Voltage with the Schwintek slides. Haven t had any problems with any of the three on ours so far.
  • That's the way Thunderbolts are... But Voltage has the floor plan I like.
  • On our Monentum TH, the smaller bedroom slide is a Schwintek direct drive, but our 2 large slides are hydraulic. We've had no slide issues. Not sure what Voltages now have.
