We said goodbye to Schwintek and replaced it with Vroom Slide System. After dealing with alignment issues, timing issues & near failure of the Schwintek, we chose Vroom for its replacment.

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

@MarkSDCA 3 сағат бұрын

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!

@davide8629 21 күн бұрын

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!

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.

What an excellent upgrade and the side by side comparison, wow! Tiffin should be putting these on all of the rigs they produce. It’s also nice to have a repair shop that is competent and so nice. On side note, his voice sounded so similar to Bobby’s ❤

@dwightmorrisva 5 күн бұрын

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.

Does Tech RV work on larger slides? When I talked to Vroom they told me they weren’t doing any slides over 25’. We have a Thor 2022 Aria 4000 with a very large passenger slide that has issues.

@TollesonLife 5 күн бұрын

I’m not sure, if they don’t, it’s probably because the room does not have the exact parts built for that size slide, but give them a call and ask for Kim and she can advise if they do or not. Good luck, my friend.

Yes we are the company on this video. And yes we can do 2 slides in one visit. We set your appointment to do them back to back. 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.
