On a Schwintek I have no idea. It can be done but is more complicated.

Neither are impossible.
PowerGear slides are much more reliable than the Schwintek but you have a larger step into the slide since the mechanism sits between the opening and slide floor. Both are owned by LCI, but I feel the Schwintek with aluminum track gear and multiple motors will always have issues.

It was between ATC and ORV, and would've been ATC but they've priced themselves wayyyyyyy beyond what we were willing to pay.

I have a jeep grand cherokee v6. They came out 2 years later one that tows 10,000 gvwr. Mine tows at 6500 and I have a 21 foot TT. I just saw a new TT out that I want its weight concerns me because it should not be that heavy or heavier then what I have now. The TT is less then 3500 and the jeep tows great. And yes it is a great off road vehicle as well. Utah, Colorado Arizona and the UP of Michigan, Copper Harbor. Found it the off road trail and wow. What fun. So no I would not trade my jeep for anything.

ORV mediocre at best workmanship second choice ?

Based on past experience with quality & workmanship and fit and finish. The choice would be Lance . I own a 2021 FQS22 I like my ORV I don’t love my ORV. Had I not been so excited I would have done a much better inspection. Punch list was excessively long . While the factory took care of some major issues. It should not have happened. The Lance needed nothing. Still a lot to be liked with the ORV . MY Recommendation inspect any Rv thoroughly before driving off dealer lot. Pullout every drawer, check look at cabinets and quality of framework. They all have issues I am told. Lance a definite choice for consideration.

No doubt a good PDI helps but many problems occur after many trips are in. Mine leaked but there was know way to know until it was in a super hard down pour one day. Staple under the flooring didn't show up until hand wiping the floor while cleaning it. Couple of 12V/120V plugin's popped out after plugging in things several times. Slide floor creaked like crazy after the 1st couple months of use.

As much as one tries it's impossible to foresee the unknown. Our ORV is our 4th trailer and we thought we nailed the PDI only to be disappointed months later.

ORV is our second choice. We were going to get a truck camper* but my wife's health took a dramatic turn so a TT became necessary.

Arctic Fox 25W. Actually, that was the first choice until some guys at work talked up the ORV line and I learned that they're basically made the same-ish. What sold me on the ORV (250RKS) was the larger water tanks. I don't remember if it was two grey tanks or the 80 gallon freshwater tank (I think it was the freshwater tank).

Anyway, I have the RKS on order and so I wait...

I cancelled the order because of a price increase, when i already had it ordered....dont need a ORV that bad. no reason to deal with practices like that.

Bought a great class C 2017 Jayco Greyhawk 29ME loaded for about the same price.
