RV Slide Issues – Vroom to the Rescue

by



In this episode we finally get a new slide just when our old Schwintek Slide takes a dive. Our Vroom Slide System adds sunshine to our day and it even came in under budget! Stick around to see how it all came together.

  10. Congratulations on 10K! you two certainly deserve it. Glad you finally had the slide fixed. Someone needs to speak up about a lot of the low quality items that come with Grand design RV's.

  13. Great “brain wellness “health tip. Always great stuff to learn.
    As a potential someday boondocker. Those slides must be a pain. Me being single don’t think I would need a rig with those slides. Just like boats trucks etc. The more options of bells and whistles? The more possibility of things and issues to fix, I like Keep It Simple. Thanks for all your great videos Dave and Jacqueline.

  25. 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!

  26. 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!

  28. That put a smile on my face seeing Joey in your video. He was very helpful when we were there as well. I don't believe they put the wear plates on our 260RD, but they did add a brace on the interior where the slide wall (adjacent the refrigerator) meets the floor. I got the impression from Joey that each make/model of trailer/coach they work on occasionally require some custom adjustments. That may be another reason for their price quoting process. Our trailer went into storage as soon as we got home so I've only been able to enjoy the Vroom slide about a half dozen times. Looking forward to this season and not worrying about the Schwintek breaking!

  29. Just realized an important piece missing from the video – AFTER the gears have been disconnected from the motor during a manual retraction (in case of failure) you must use blocks of some sort on the inside to keep the slide from extending back out while driving. The gears can't be re-connected to the motors in the field (according to Joey at Vroom).
