Winnebago towable slideouts!

After getting our new Winnebago Winnie 2201DS home, I discovered in the Winnebago Trailer/5th Wheel Manual that the slide-out power switch should be left "on" while towing. It's something my dealer failed to mention, so I thought I'd post something about it. The reason for leaving it "on" has to do with insuring that the bottom of the slide doesn't shift.

If you own a Winnebago towable (including the SunnyBrook line), check your manual and see if this applies to your unit.
  • Our Winnie 26FWRKS 5th has 2 slides. The main living area slide has a typical In/Out switch. No separate power switch. However, the bedroom slide does have a power on/off as well as an in/out switch. I have not understood why the 2 switches. I'll check my manual to see what it says.
