The FWS is not what scared me away that slide is robust and seems quite adequate-not an in wall system. It is WBGO's use of Lippert's in wall slide mechanism's that I was worried about. Between 2015 & 16 they changed from Schwentek to Power Gear both are in wall and both are made by Lippert. The Schwentek issies are all over this forum and others if you want to go back and review. Either (I think) is a good system I have heard the mfg's errored in their use/install etc. Ultimately it was a big enough concern for me to pass. - Blaster_ManExplorerAll manufacturers of larger MHs are making FWSs. No problems with ours.

- Two_JayhawksExplorerThe Itasca/WBGO 43' FWS in either the Tour/Ellipse or Journey/Meridian was/is our favorite floor plan. Only reason we went another way is I was quite worried about the in wall slide system they use on the smaller slides. Other than that loved everything about the coach & mfg.
I'm sure we would have been just as happy had we ended up going that way. - Thunder_MountaiExplorer IIWhat year and details!
