Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Randall, welcome to the forum, everything I have read indicates that cable drive systems are no better or worst than hydraulic / electric.....If you read enough you will find success and failure with all the RV systems...

Our 1996 CarriLite has a cable drive slide that works perfect 17 years later.

THANKS FOR YOUR REPLIES, I DIDNT KNOW HOW WELL THE CABLES WOULD HOLD UP TO RAIN AND AGEING, SOUNDS LIKE THEY DO WELL.

THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR REPLIES.
