I can't believe its used on those full wall slides given what I see in it on our tiny little one couch slide on our Axis.

Our old 5th wheel's couch+dinette slide had a pretty beefy worm gear setup under the coach to move it.
From a mechanical engineering point of view, the Schwintek system "concept" for controlling slide-room motion is brilliant; but unfortunately I also see some significant deficiencies that are too difficult to describe here. As they say, the devil is in the details.

Full wall Schwintek slides I believe are not limited to Thor, so others are probably experiencing problems as well.

I'm just glad I prefer smaller and simpler coaches, so slides (of any size) are a very low priority.
