I agree that Keystone might be using Schwintek mechanisms on smaller slides for the Montana line. I don’t know if that is true for ALL Keystone products however.

VROOM Slide Systems (Phoenix AZ ?) was born out of the need to replace Schwintek systems in motor homes and fifth wheels with BIG slides - too big for Schwintek to handle. I don’t know the exact history but it seems that this has been a problem for a decade or more. I have no idea if VROOM can replace a cable slide system.
