Our Schwinteck slide is my biggest source of anxiety in our trailer. I've heard so many good things about the Vroom that if we ever run into issues I am going straight to Vroom to have it replaced. Thanks for sharing guys!

Just found this video. We have a 2021 Class-C with a 15' whole wall slide out driven by Schwintek. I would have avoided it like the plague if I only had known! So, we too discovered Vroom and are considering having it done soon. Excited to see how this turns out...... Nice. Learned a little bit about operating a slide. Like the comment that syncing should be done retracted not extended like Schwintek says. The Tuscon techs did an amazing job. They were very good explaining the system and operation as well. It's obvious to me how much work this entails and worth every penny IMHO. I feel like I should sprinkle Holy Water on the slide and pray before operating it. The anxiety we have is awful.

So, I finally got to finish the video (this work thing gets in the way), when did Grand Design switch from a Rack/Pinion slide rail to a Schwinteck? We have a 2019 295RL and both slide sides have the Rack/Pinion (I guess thats the official name for it.) Basically its a big @$$ bar with teeth on it, a cog gear and a motor.

Not sure about when they started using Schwinteck, but from what we have heard, they seem to be ok in smaller slides. We are very happy with the new Vroom system as compared to the Schwintek we had in our large slide. Sounds like your system is good!!

We’re scheduled to get our Vroom slide installed in August. It was great to see this video! One question - does your slide fit more flush against the camper when closed now (vs with the Schwintek system)? Also, how many days did they take to install the new slide? I was under the impression that you dropped it off in the morning and picked it up that later that evening, but now I’m not sure. Thanks for making this video!

Yes they do. We live in CA and are heading to Patriots RV Garage in Aubrey, TX in either Nov or Dec to have both of our Schwintek slides on our 2021 Lance 2465 replaced with Vroom slides. I had tried for weeks to get a reply from Vroom in Tucson to no avail (and they still haven't replied or called despite many attempts to contact them) so I looked for authorized dealers (there aren't many) to do the install. I found Roland (the owner) at Patriots, called him and he was exceptional at explaining everything about how the slides work vs. the Schwinteks and what I needed to do in order to get started on this process. Our BR slide was stuck in, and fortunately for us, did it when we got home from a 4300 mile trip. Under warranty, our dealer here where we bought it, replaced the bad motor. It was in the shop for 2 weeks. We made the decision to have them replaced as the anxiety from always worrying about them getting stuck OUT was a problem. Not so much if they're stuck in, as we can access and use everything in just a smaller space when they're in. With that being said, we are heading to AK next year on a 2 month trip and do not want or need troubles with the slides. Hence the decision for the trip to TX. My son and my sister live very close to Aubrey so it's a win-win for us. And I knew from the moment I talked to Roland and saw his reviews and his YT videos on slides that he's done, that we were totally comfortable with him doing the work. He is an authorized Vroom installer, the only one in TX. There is another one, Custom RV in Red Bay, AL. that a fellow Lance owner used and is very pleased with their work. Hope this helps! Sorry for the long post! If you use Patriots, tell him Marcia Hamby sent you!

You have radios that transmit on Ham Radio Frequencies and Public Safety Frequencies (Police, Fire, EMS). You can't use those without licenses. There are severe penalties for unlicendsed use.

Umm...the Baofeng radio is a 2 meter Ham Radio that to operate needs to be used by a FCC Licensed individual. If using on Citizen bands the Baofeng is over-powered and will subject you to persecution if caught. Just an FYI. If you really want to be safe you should have and still can buy just the small walkie talkies that can cost less than $25 and will give you just as much range for what you need.
