2020 Jayco MelbourneBody, doors & structureEquipment & accessories

The Lippert Schwintek slide system has failed on our 2020 Jayco Melbourne 24L at least five times (and been repaired 4 times - about to be 5 times) since it was purchased on 9/18/2023. When the slide fails, it is not locked into place and will extend out of the perimeter of the RV when driving around a corner or curve. This results in danger to us as it can cause us to lose control of the RV if it slides too far out while navigating a curve. We have had to stop on a busy interstate to push the slide back in! ...

Read the full complaint

So far, only one of the slide corners has failed. If both fail, the entire slide will go out and will result in a catastrophic incident. When the slide mechanism fails, it makes a loud "pop". There is no other warning or indication that it is about to fail. The failure happens at the end of the cycle of either retracting or extending the slide. The slide has been inspected, worked on and repaired by certified RV Technicians and a certified RV repair service center. Both RV Technicians and the service center have confirmed the slide failure. There are many, many other owners who have the same slide failure and eventually give up and have it replaced spending thousands of dollars for an upgraded system. The Lippert Schwintek system is NOT sufficient for a slide of this size, hence the repeated failures, according to the RV Technicians and service center.
