Why are RV companies going to the Schwintek slide system with its tiny weak motor and falling off the track issue and not sticking with the Power Gear slide system that has been around for some years with proven good results.
My theory is if it isn't broke why fix/change it..
CHEAPER!!!!!!!. The motors are NOT weak. As I stated, the OEM's push the design limitations of the Schwintek system. There are 2 motor systems. The majority have the standard 500 motor, while the larger slides have the 700 motor. The system CANNOT fall off the track if the hole is cut correctly and the Schwintek is installed correctly. Doug
