Slide issues
I've been reading about qaulity issues with several of the coaches I was interested in, specifically the slides. It seems as if all the bad slides were Lippert/Schwintek. More to the point, I was look...

We purchased a Palazzo 33.3. Yes our unit has slide issues. However Thor is taking care of the problems. In fact it is in for service now. We took delivery on 11/1/14. They are installing the upgraded 3 track system. I carefully looked at competing coaches in the price range. There just isn't much that can tow a full size SUV. We have 3 kids and need a larger toad.
Does that mean three tracks on each side of the slide instead of two?
yes it does
Thanks.
Overall it looks like a nicely engineered system, especially the tracks.
I wouldn't go that far. If you saw a Schwintek system off a slide out, you would quickly realize its inadequacies. The rollers under a slide are really the critical part. The rails are aluminum. The gear is steel. The rails will get eat up if any one little thing goes wrong with the alignment or level of the slide out.
