    Using a Schwintek Dinette Slide While Hitched or Retracted

    I am a new TT owner and recently bought a 2024 No Boundaries 20.4 TT that has a dinette Schwintek slide. I have two questions: 1. Is it OK the extend the slide when the TT is still hooked up to the TV such as in a parking lot or on otherwise relatively level ground. I understand that it...

    We're on a one-month trip in New England with our new-to-us 2020 Lance 2285 that has a Schwintek slide system and we're having semi-serious slide issues.

    Walking on Slide-Out Roofs for Repairs

    I am seeing mixed thoughts on walking on your Slide out roof to make repairs etc. Seems those who do walk/sit on the slide room are not extending the slide fully. I am probably more concerned with my bedroom slide which is a slim rack slide then has a smaller slide in it with the Schwintek...

    What kind of glue is needed where the exterior seals meet on a slide-out? Where the top horizontal seal meets the vertical wiper seals. The factory adhesive was black, highly elastic, and they glued the top seal to the side wiper seals and globbed some on to hold the motor wires in place...

    Phaeton Slide Mechanisms by Model Year

    We sold our 2016 Phaeton a few years ago and are considering buying a new(er) model. Are the new Phaetons still using Schwintek slides or have they gone all hydraulic or Vroom? If so, what model years? Thanks.

    Schwintek controller location & troubleshooting - 25RLS

    We have a new 2026 25RLS and it became apparent to me that its a good idea to learn about the Schwintek system and know what to do in case something goes wrong. I'm posting here in case this is useful for others. First thing I did was to locate the controller. On the 2026 25RLS it's located...

    Has anyone replaced a Schwintek motor on a 2014-ish Winnebago/Itasca where the H-column has no interior motor cutout? Which exterior/interior trim piece is supposed to come off? I’m trying to replace the rear Schwintek slide motor on a 2014 Itasca Spirit 31K / Winnebago 31K. The replacement...

    Schwintek Slide Stops 15 Inches Short When Closing

    I know there are a lot of slide discussions here so I apologize if this is already covered somewhere. We recently bought a Reflection M27RL. The Schwintek living room slide is very slow to open and even slower closing. The slide slows then stops with a final revving of the motors about 15"...

    Fixing a Cocked Schwintek Slide: Realignment and Replacement Options

    My largest slide is cocked from top-to-bottom (not side-to-side). The rack & pinion Schwintek gear on one corner of the slide "jumped" its slot in its rack. It now makes thumping sounds when it extends or retracts. I can see some damage to the slots in the rack, but nothing is completely...

    Schwintek Controller Error Code 9 After Storage: Normal or a Warning Sign?

    I have a 2025 Palazzo and When I power up the coach after storage, all three Schwintek controllers are flashing motor 1 error code 9.

    Schwintek Slide Failure: Repair, Replacement, or Vroom Upgrade?

    I managed to limp our large kitchen slide open on our 2015 Thor Challenger 37GT and had a tech come out to look at it. One of the bottom motors needs replaced and the rail is a bit chewed up as a result. He tells me that buying individual parts (ie: a single motor) is almost impossible and I...

    I have a 2026 ACE 29D only a few months old. I do not have any problems raising or lowering the Schwintek over-cab bunk, that works fine.

    Schwintek Slide-Out Only Retracts—Troubleshooting Power, Switch, and Relay Issues

    The Schwintek slide out won't slide out. It slides in. Even if totally retracted, I can hear electricity noises on in, but don't hear electricity noises if I press OUT. Upon reading some stuff, I switched the two motors power inputs on the Lippert controller and can now slide it out if I press...

    I have a no power issue to both rear slide Schwintek controllers. I've check the two breakers for each rear slide and they are both good. I have no idea where to continue diagnostics.
