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.

Sorry Bumpy - wrong again. Newmar still uses that same design, the floor still lifts up. IT HAS TO! Where do you think the floor could magically go???
I know you love your Winnies, and thats OK, but "back in the day" their slide didn't drop, so every time you sat down at the table you had to step up onto the slide. I'd much rather have to deal with a lifted floor for the 2 times I walk through the MH when traveling than every single time I use it - every time.
Would you rather trip over this step all the time...
or enjoy this nice flat floor...
