I think that they were the pioneer on "flat floor" slides. had some kind of rube goldberg arrangement that lifted up when it came in and when retracted left a 2 inch high walkway on one side. did drop down flat when extended however.

Newmar NEVER had a Rube Goldberg flat floor lift up system. What Newmar pioneered was the flat floor. ALL it does is, there is a slant the last 12 inches and the room rollers glide down that slant to get the floor level with the main floor. 20 years ago, HWH and NEWELL designed a lift up flat floor system for the Hi Line Newells. That system the room went out and then a sub floor was hydraulically raised to get the flat floor. Doug
when retracted their flat floor raised up and when you walked down the aisle one foot was 2 inches higher than the other. I call that rube goldberg. you can call it anything else you want. they stopped using that system which might explain something.
