Sounds like you have a Schwintek slide system. We too had problems with a large heavy slide. An RVIA certified tech, after a repair, told us to spray the gear tracks often with dry lube both inside and out. When you run it in, spray them on the inside, and when out spray on the outside about every other trip or two weeks on a long trip. Then clean and wax the sides and bottom of the slide, as well as clean and lube the seals once a month. This reduces the drag on the slide. It has been running very quite and reliable since. When it fails, do to my wife's health, we may have to repair it. If her health seems to be stable over a period of time, we too will get the Vroom slide system.

Have fun on your trip.
