Problems With Your Schwintek Slide? Vroom Slide Solution!

Today I wanted to share with you our experience of the problems we have had with our Schwinteck Slide and why we replaced it with the Vroom Side system. Vroom slide is a new slide system that the more I looked into it I was very impressed. There isn't a ton of information out there on it so I wanted to share what I have seen and give you a tour of Vroom. It was amazing that they were able to do the entire slide system swap in 1 day. That is very rare for slide repair. If you are interested here is their information.

Going on 5 months so far and the Vroom slide has been flawless. I'll keep updating on how it is working.

@mikedomokos Жыл бұрын

I just called VROOM and talked to Joey on the sync. He said to do it while the slide is in. In/Out about an 1" or 2" , 5-6 times. Mine was going out and once it hit the out position, one side would bounce back 1/2" or so. I'll be trying this next trip. He said sometimes they do get out of sync.

are you willing to share a ballpark dollar figure on the VROOM? i have a full length slide on one side and a shorter slide on the driver side that both failed on me. - Thor Miramar

@sherailc 7 ай бұрын

The estimated cost of our slides are base price $4,500 per slide out, and can vary depending on what we find once we get into your slide itself. If the slide needs new rollers, base plates, or any type of structural repair the pricing will increase. That's what I received in a email from them

@BillCClinton 2 жыл бұрын

Absent replacing the system, installing slide plates will make a huge difference. If you have a heavy slideout you will begin to notice dimples forming in the bottom of it where it rides the rollers when you have it retracted. We have a 21-foot full slide out and the plates made a huge difference with our slide.

Don't know where you are, but VSS Inc. could use a few strategically located installation centers around the country in my opinion. We would have to drive over 2,000 miles to have ours changed out. That drive is all that's keeping us from scheduling it immediately. Our 2021 Jayco has a 15' whole wall two-level slide-out with a Schwintek In-Wall system. Only two racks at each end (would have thought 3 would have been better) and we've had issues already. Retracting always gives us anxiety. Because of Schwintek we wished we'd never purchased this particular RV. We'd avoid any RV with such a large slide using Schwintek in the future.

Thank you for your video, was my inspiration to have this system installed by a local authorized installer. Unfortunately, during demo of the unit one of the motors started making a lot of grinding and popping noise. The folks were able to repair and was ready the next day. Unfortunately, the drive motor cannot easily be replaced as the entire H-frame has to be removed to replace the motor which is a weak-link for the system as VROOM does not manufacture the motors. Hopefully, they will design a methodology that will enable replacing the motors easier, with robust connectors. Hopefully, we will not have any issues for a long time, but just we're just concerned about the reliability of the motors.

Here is the message I just sent to Vroom: I just saw Jared Gillis's (All about RV's) review of your slide replacement system. The slide on my 2020 Jayco Melbourne 24L, full wall slide by Schwintek, is the biggest downfall of my RV. I would do anything to get it replaced. I live in Florida and would take a trip to get it installed. If there is a company out by me that can install it, even better. Please let me know next step. Thanks, Eugene Lagana

Excellent informative video. Nice to know both alternatives and your experience with the manufacture. Thanks for sharing

Thank you for this wonderful video. We bought a 2021 32RLTS Pinnacle FW from Jayco and i'm already having issues with the big and heavy kitchen slide. I will look into this company. Hope i can reach them from Canada.

I hope they give Schwintek a run for their money. I've had so many problems with mine that I'm tempted to take the motors out and use it manually and just block the room in when traveling.

Thks for this video...having problems with slide on my newer rv now- cant believe how they sell these crap rv's for such high $ amounts and they just fall apart when out of warranty.

WOW - built a better mouse trap!!! That's one of the most impressive upgrades I've ever seen. Bet the cost comparison between the 2 systems would be minimal during initial build.

Why in the world do RV companies use that Schwinteck system on large slides! It sucks!!!! Thanks for sharing a great solution

As a time frame I bought a new class c gulfstream conquest in June of 2021, it has a slide for the theater seats and dinette and a bedroom slide for the bed like most. It also has schwintek as well. We’ve slide those things in and out countless times and knock on wood no issues. My maintenance on them is to use a dry silicone spay and wipe them real good in between. I like what you did as well even better but don’t know whether I’d wanna take the coach to Arizona to do it. The one irony is that after I bought this coach I looked at a couple big class C’s that had no slides and I could have been perfectly content with those. One less thing to be concerned about.

Yes we were thankful we were in the lower portion of Utah when we were on our way down, it would be tough in we were in Main.

I'm glad I bought a quality RV that doesn't have junk parts on it like that.

Can you edit another video with just the installation from start to finish? This high level overview is great. However the details of their installation would certainly be helpful to other engineers like me who always investigate the details for risk reduction.
