On October 15, 2014, I experienced a complete malfunction of this slide. It made loud metal to metal crunching noises and came in crooked. The front couch leg, or arm, was in contact with the tile floor and the right hand bulb seal had gotten into the gears of the Schwinteck slide, same as the left hand seal did in Chattanooga. I called Winnebago and they helped me find a Winnebago dealer in Baton Rouge who would work on it and that's where the unit is currently.
Yep another reason why the rv manufactures need to stick with the power gear slide system on large motorhomes with large slide outs.
Another reason why I am going to keep my 08 Bounder as long as possible if all they are going to do is provide cheaper quality on newer motorhomes.
