Schwintek must not stop while extending/retracting?
Took my RV in for service/warranty recently. One of the problems I have had is pretty much since Day 1, the slide out has been misaligned. Irregardless, the repair shop told me that they see this when the slide outs are not operated properly.
I asked them what that meant, and they said that for these slides, I must ALWAYS fully extend the slide without stopping when putting them out, and additionally, when putting them in, fully putting it in without stopping.
Now I am not saying that I make it a habit of only putting it out 1/3 of the way, but it seems hugely flawed to develop a system that can be misaligned by stopping while putting it out/in. I can see many cases where you may not want to fully extend it, and I have stopped before if I believe I am going to hit a tree or have issues inside the coach.
They told me that it should be covered under warranty, but they have seen issues such as this denied on claims in the past.
Is it true that I can't stop in the middle of extending/retracting the slide?
