A little help - Schwintek Control Module Location

**Russ Olin** · 01-12-2019, 08:33 AM

After receiving our 2500RL and figuring out that we have the Schwintek slide system, which seems pretty cool.
I have one question? There should be a control board which controls both motors. I cant seem to find it.
The dealer I got it from doesn't know where its at on this model, because the don't work on many of them according to them,
I looked around and cant locate it. Must be hid really well. Anybody have any ideas where its at on this model?
I should be able to lock out the motors and slide it in by hand if there is a problem. So I need to locate this control board.
Thanks for all your help.

I have no idea where it is on your unit. On 5th wheels it is usually located in the front storage compartment mounted on the wall near the battery and other electric connections. I would check near your battery or your fuse/circuit breaker panel. It will most likely be behind the panel somewhere.

It has to be there somewhere. I hope this helps.

This is what the control box looks like in a Reflection 28BH. It should be the same or very similar in yours.

Yep, that's the little control box I am looking for. Right now the slide out is in, snowing heavy here in SW CO for the next couple of days, When the weather clears will slide the slide out and be able to look better. Unless its behind a drawer somewhere I've looked everywhere I can think of. Also have asked Grand Design got a reply that they would be back with me in a few days. Its there & we will find it. Thanks

I was curious to know this also and asked when we did our PDI of our 2500RL. I haven't verified it but was told by the dealer that it's below the bathroom sink behind an access panel. There is a control board there that controls the motors on the slide. I hope that helps.

Thanks for the information, and that makes since because the tech that I talked to @ Tarpleys had to reset one on a different model than ours and it was under the bathroom sink. I looked under the snik on mine but didn't see it. But if there is a access panel under there then that must be where its at. Thanks for your help. Enjoy your new RV.

Russ,
For the Imagine 2600RB, its behind a removable panel on the left side of the lower left bathroom cabinet. If ever needed, there are bypass methods (In levels of severity and problem dependant) listed in the Lippert manual.

Under the bathroom sink on the 2500RL.

This is also where ours is, in our 2150. Upside down, in upper right of photo, behind a false luan wall. I removed the wall taking out three screws, attaching it to the floor. Notice that they felt no need to finish off that rough sawn floor with the flange I so often see in more cushy models
