THOR #5196
Moving, I appreciate and respect your opinion. I have not said there aren't problems, what I said was proper operation can make a difference. The drop down bunk uses the same type mechanism and counts motor revolutions. When operating the slide or the bunk, even the smaller slides on other coaches, you must not stop during the travel, and you must hold down switch 3-5 seconds after motors stop. Many of the problems with all Lippert slides involve not operating correctly. Thor did go to a three rail system which has proven to work better. Like many others I feel there must be a better way of operation but this is what we have. Newell coaches use a ball bearing mechanism that uses one small motor, simple and effective, problem is a Newell costs 2 million dollars! Again, until Thor comes up with something better that's what we have.

P.S. Can't afford any more property right now, just purchased a bridge in San Francisco. Lol
