Lippert was touting the new Schwintek Slideout in late 2010.
Forest River, Open Range, Thor Motor Coach, Jayco, Heartland, Tiffin, Winnebago, Shadow Cruiser & Crossroads all used them.
So they have only been on the market for about 3 years and all those companies jump on the new slide outs, it appears many issues with them so far, they must have been a cheaper option for the manufactures to go for something new and unproven, if I ever move up in another motorhome I will stay away from these till they get the bugs worked out of them, I have seen the motors on the Schwintek Slides and they are small, don't know how they even would work on full slides but some have them.
Simple......don't buy.
By the way.....when it comes to DC motors 'size' doesn't mean weak.
