Slideouts
Has anyone found the location of the slideout controllers for the 308BHTS? I have found two tucked away under the counter in my rear outdoor kitchen. I assume there are 3 in total for 3 slideouts, if so, then any idea where the other one might be?

No activity on this in the Reflection TT forum, so I moved it over to the Tech Forum to see what GDRV says.

The controllers you found are for the two Schwintek (in wall drive) slide outs...the kitchen slide and the bunkhouse slide. The main slide isn't a Schwintek so it doesn't have a controller.

EDIT: You should have a hand crank and a access hole on the door slide of the camper that will manually move the main slide.Last edited by Dave and Monica; 03-12-2015 at 07:19 PM.

Not having the slide out drives all the same in very common as certain type are more suited in particular application, ie the Schwintek in wall slide drive is almost the standard now for the bedroom headboard slide as a conventional drive would use up a lot of space under the bed instead of storage. On our Reflection, the two main slides are conventional electric driven and the bedroom slide is Schwintek. In the Solitudes, the main slides are conventional hydraulic driven and the bedroom slide is Schwintek.
Have a look under your main slide and you can see most of the drive components other than the actual motor and gearbox which would be mounted in the underbelly. You should also have a manual for the conventional electric driven slide and the Schwintek with the camper.

That makes sense. I was told at the dealer to make sure I always run my slides all the way out and all the way in, never half way in or out. This was due to the drive motors for each side getting out of sync. I assume this applies to both the direct drive and the Schwintek slides? My TT has the main slide for the living area, a smaller slide for the kitchen and slide for the rear bunkhouse, I do not have one for the main bedroom.
I see where you have a F250 V10, how well does it handle the 5th wheel? What type of MPG are you seeing while towing?
Thanks
Brady

The F250 V10 handles it fine...my truck has the Camper Package in which the rear suspension is the same as a F350. I never feel that it's under-powered though I've wished for the sophisticated exhaust brake now on late model diesels when towing in the mountains. I get pretty excited when the towing mileage gets over 8 mpg. A new diesel would be a nice upgrade but the cost of that buys lots of gasoline!
