Slide underside wear with schwintek system
On my Snowriver, the white rollers are starting to wear through the coating on the underside of the slide. Not serious yet, but I can see the writing on the wall. This has been an issue with Lance Tra...

My FunFinder has the Schwintek slide. One of my rollers was so impacted with caulking that it never turned from day one. I, of course,didn't realize this until a piece of dark colored veneer slipped out from under the sofa. Since nothing in the trailer was this color I began searching for it's origin, and discovered the problem. It had seriously damaged the plywood floor of the slide. I had to reinforce the damaged floor and then apply a sheet of aluminum to the underside. I also managed to free-up the roller so that it would rotate. I've been monitoring it ever since and now the aluminum is beginning to crack so I will need to replace it with something a little thicker. I recommend that anyone with this type of slide check the underside of the slide periodically to catch any problem before it does significant damage.
