Different slide mechanisms

I have a Pacific Coachworks travel trailer and was wondering what slide units they use. It looks as though I do not have the Schwintech model as they have an exterior strip on the slide with a very wiggly piece attached. My slide works fine but I want to be prepared for when it doesn't. Just wondering if any Pacific Coachworks owner know who makes their slide. I'm assuming it is some kind of screw jack located under the slide as the slide is probably six inches of base. Thanks.

    My model 5th wheel trailer mfg used two different slide mechanisms....in the same year. The first brand went out of business the second half of a year and another brand/type was in the last part of the year. My trailer had the second brand which had to be rebuilt when 18 months old.
    Pacific may still be in business so give them a 1-800 or a email.

    Thank you for the link. I should have known that there would be a YouTube for it. I watched a couple of them and know what I don’t have..time to look under and see. I’m going guessing I have an electric rack and pinion underneath the slide. Thanks again.
