We love the Vroom Slide system and Tech Rv was a pleasure to deal with!

Yes, after a second Schwintek failure our Vroom install has worked flawlessly for a year and a half now. It took me a long time not to pucker up a bit after install when I ran the slide in or out. Schwintek scars run deep!

We used Tech RV to swap out our one Schwintek in April after we lived with the slide closed for a total of 7 months over two separate Schwintek failures. Love the Vroom. Kim and Dwayne are awesome! They'd be the only place I'd go for general repair if I couldn't get to Red Bay for some reason.

Vroom looks like the proper slide system for all slides. We didn't have an issue with our Schwintek but it was a much smaller slide. Now Vroom needs to fix that price!

Looks like the price went UP. Use to be $3000 per slide. Schwintech seems to be fine on smaller slides and operated correctly. If my rig had a full wall that would be the first upgrade

I'm glad I ran across this video. Much like your bedroom slide the 6' X 2' Schwintek in our old trailer never caused us a problem. Our new trailer has a super slide and every time we extend or retract it the creaks and pops make me wonder if this is the big one. I know it is not a matter of if but when it will fail and have decided at the first sign of wear I will have the Schwintek mechanism replaced. When I first heard of the Vroom system the work was only being performed at the factory which is a very long way from me. I was unsure if authorized dealers would be of the same quality as the factory but this gives a better feeling about it.

Looks like a great system, is there any manufacturers installing this at the factories?

For your viewers who still have the schwintek slide system... The only reliable way to resync your slide is to reset the controller. The in and out method with a slide is unreliable. To reset the controller, with the ignition in the accessory position, find the slide controller in one of your storage bays. With the slide all the way out or in, find the small black round button recessed in the controller. (I have better results with the slide all the way out) Press the button seven times and on the 7th press hold it in until the lights flash. This will reset the slide motors and the slide will track evenly on both sides and open or close flush. I find I have to do this about once every 2 weeks when traveling a lot.

So the roller bearings aren't carrying any weight, they just keep the gear engaged with the track teeth. This addresses the huge issues with Schwintek yet still doesn't address the other huge problem with slide-outs - the failure of coach manufacturers to properly support the box's weight with strong enough rollers and brackets against properly sturdy floor structures.

When the slide reaches its stop points the motors stop. “Times out”

So how many slides do you have? One slide is 5k? Or they did is all your slides? We have 4 slides. Two slides are schwintek on our Allegro Bus. Two are those other ones.

So you can arrive the day before if you would like and sleep that night. Next day we install one slide system and we set you up again to sleep another night. Next day we do the second slide and set you up to sleep one more night. Next day we check everything and lubricate your slides and demo the system to you. And then you can head out😀

Why aren't RV manufacturers dumping Schwintek for Vroom slides? They knowingly are putting in substandard products and forcing owners to spend even more money fixing their poor choices. Time for manufacturers to start taking care of customers! This industry needs some serious regulations.
