Below Floor Slide System

Under floor slide-out mechanism steel bars are welded to the frame
members. A "cog" track is welded to bottom side of cross member,
matching with a gear attached to drive shaft. As motor turns, an actuator
moves the gear on the track (ram). A cross shaft, front to rear ram
connects the second ram, moving the opposite end of slide. Mechanisms
operate the same for flush or standard floor.

Above Floor Slideout

This system operates on an inside ram assembly on a track moved by a
cog gear. Ram is attached to the floor and side wall with a moving track
attached to the slideout. On larger slides, two (2) rams will be used with
cross shafts connecting the 2 rams. A steel frame carriage style is used
on some models, doing the same function generally as a 12' slide.
Access to these components is inside of coach, under slide floor.
Open
Hold operation switch until room seals tightly on the exterior of the unit.
DO NOT distort or bend the exterior flanges or interior fascia by holding
the switch in the on position.
Close
To retract, reverse the procedure and hold button until the room is fully
inside with gaskets sealing to the outer wall. It takes about 20 seconds
to move the slide in or out.
VENTURE RV does NOT require or suggest blocking, supports, jacks,
etc., to be used under slideouts during extended normal use.

Schwintec Wall Slide

This system is composed of four tracks placed on the outer sidewall of
slide, two at the bottom and two near roof line. On each side an extrusion
is attached to sidewall with a motor inside at the top of extrusion, one on
each side accessible only from the inside. A gear mounted to the motor
will run on the track to move slide in or out. Wire harness is alongside of
extrusion.
It is very important to keep tracks clean from dirt and debris. Additional
information will be found in the supplier's manual about manual operation,
error codes and other issues.

Electrical Components

A 12 volt DC motor is located under the frame. It may be inside main rail
on frame, or on some models, it will be on the outer side on main rail
along with front to rear shaft. On the above floor slide, it will be under the
floor of the sofa or dinette. The in wall slide room system motors are
installed in the wall.
