I received an inquiry from a prospective buyer of our GD Solitude fifth wheel and they asked me to check the Schwintek slide white rollers. According to the link they sent the white rollers on either side should not be in contact with the slide. According to the article if they are then the slide was either mounted incorrectly or there is too much weight on the roller. The article recommends not buying the unit if the rollers don’t spin. Ours are in contact with the slide and don’t spin. Anyone else have this issue? The slide operates just fine.
 
All my rollers contact the metal track, but can be moved by hand. My understanding, they are there not to take on the load of the room so there should be very little to no friction. The pulley is there to keep the system aligned.
