We have a R177. LOVE the side. Really not alot can go wrong. If elec. goes out you can always crank it in by hand. We will never have anything without a slide again.
Hope this helps |

Tanks Mike, that's the one we are looking at, do you know if they have changed anything between 2014 and 2015? The 2015 seems to be a little heavier?

The Schwintek system they now use has no crank ability. There are two methods in the manual on how to push it in or out. |

I really like the slide and the new and improved mechanism seems to be much more robust.
Plus given the fact that only the kitchen area slides out,it would seem be get much less wear due to not having a couch or dinette on the slide with people weight constantly moving about. I am taking mine in to the dealer though for warranty work,only because the slide box in not centered in the opening.The side weather strip on one side binds sometimes because of that. I would suggest everyone to check theirs out.The flap should be equally folded on each side.Mine is visibly noticeably off center from 20 feet way. I should have noticed it on delivery,but was busy looking at everything else  .....maybe mine was built Friday afternoon,but everything else is good. |
