After watching numerous videos on motor replacement the best way is from the inside, where LCI provides a cut-out in the H-columns to facilitate removal and replacement of the motors. Evidently not all Schwintek slide systems H-columns have this cut-out though, but I verified mine does so inside motor replacement is best IMHO. Facia trim removal might not be necessary; however, I won't know until the motor(s) fail and I can't change it without removing the facia interference. As I said, I'm just planning for the future failure because I like to be prepared having owned numerous RV's and because things always fail at inopportune times. I definitely am not in the camp that believes because something hasn't failed that it won't fail. Even under the best preventive maintenance programs in industry and the military components fail. Thanks for a reply on the subject topic matter though.

Some folks choose to replace schwintek with a newer system from VROOM. My "fridge" slide started acting strange a few weeks ago. Trailer is < 1 year old. Rear part of slide would start comming in then stop. The forward part of slide would try and continue but with the slide now on an angle (front to back of trailer) it would jam. We can get it to fully open if I push real hard on the edging. We can get the slide to close if I pull on that same edging. GD inspected and says there is a TSB just for this and they are replacing the entire schwintek system on this slide. As a test, I tried to see what spare parts are available from VROOM and there was zero. So if I had the vroom system, it might be very difficult to get replacement parts, but if its a better system perhaps no spares would be needed very soon.

No details on TSB; I am not convinced there is a TSB. Either way, I am happy with how GD stepped up. I noticed in your sig you have 4k watts of solar. Did you design that system ?2024 Brinkley z2900

We had the slides struggling to open and close. Removed molding below push outs when open. Lubricated the rollers that the floor rolls on. Used spray to get inside the rollers that rotate on bolts. Big difference now!
