The last time I checked on the 16' They had 2 types on them. Small slides had Scwinteck and the larger ones had something different.
If you are actually looking at one then you can tell the difference because the Schwinteck have the gear tracks actually attached to the side of the slide, not just in 2 places.

Lippert manufacture the Schwintek slides and bought Power Gear about a year ago so may just be the same slideout rebranded. I understand the current generation of those slides have most of the bugs worked out. Good luck,

Don,t think its the same slide. They produce both Schwintek and Power Gear and they are making the switch to Power Gear. Pretty obvious why.
