Doug: Lippert manufactures the Schwintek slide out system that RV mfrs. install in their units. Just go to the Lippert web site and watch the video. As for Kwikee/power gear:
"Elkhart-based Lippert Components Inc. has acquired a Mishawaka-based competitor, according to an announcement Monday, June 16 from Lippert’s parent company, Drew Industries Inc.
Lippert has paid $35.5 million for Power Gear/Kwikee Products, a subsidiary of Menomonee Falls, Wisc.-based Actuant Corp., Drew Industries said in a press release. The buy was financed with available cash and a loan from Lippert’s $75 million line of credit with JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo."
Lippert is becoming so big in the RV industry that soon no RV will be without some components made by Lippert. IMO most of their products are poorly made. It seems the products that are decent are those where they bought another company and continue to make those product with no changes.
