I don't think I'd do hydrualic or air for the movement. I'd worry about leaks. Do any of the majors use that to run their slides? Or are the all electric screw type?

The only way to get the pics up is to host them on line. They won't work from your computer. Take a look at www.facebook.com and see what you think. You can store millions of your pictures there and share them with people. And don't worry, nobody can find out anything about you that you don't want them to.

...IF the biggies use anything it will be mechanical....anything else is more expensive.......and works a lot better/longer. they just want to get it off the floor plan asap....anything else is optional. a slide that is about 6' costs about 60$ to make....then add profit and other considreations and you are up to 1200$....for what?...if they can cheap it, they will do it, that way and roll it out of the barn on to the lot asap. A slide is an option that may work and then again it might not work.....throw the dice and see what happens.....As all can tell I am NOT a fan of them unless they are made well and are easy to repair on site.....BOB86ZZ4's problem with water and or snow is not unusual at all....I here it all the time and have to chuckle at the ideas expressed on how to make it better....till customers hear the price of custom made slides.....then it is back to cheap!....geofkaye and the Rivercity Grilz

Hay Pete, after you've got a picture hosted somewhere on line you can move your cursor onto the picture and right click. A box then opens up and you can select "properties" and it will show you a the url of that particular picture. You move your cursor to the front of that url, hold down the left mouse button and slide it to the end of the url (it will be a long string of letters and numbers). Then let go of the cursor and hold down the "ctrl" button (lower left on my keyboard) and type the letter "c". That will copy that url for you. Then come here and type a reply to a topic. When you want the picture to show up you type this [img] and then after you type that ] character you hold down the "ctrl" button and type the letter "v" That will insert the url that you copied earlier. Then you type [/img] at the end of that last url character. The brackets are on the keys to the right of the letter "p" not the parenthesis up top.

my wife tells me she can post pics into facebook, I'll get that done tommorow and add recent pics, got my sixth window installed today, somebody mentioned a quality window sealer the other day ,I can't find that thread if one of you guys could send that link again I'd apreciate it. Geo I hear you on the keep it simple ... but after 11 years in a 37ft toyhauler with no slide, and now we have a family 5er with sides wow big difference!! I'm pretty handy and can fab just about anything, I talked with liftco and I agree, 14ga steel, about 50-100 bucks in material and a 1300 price tag,seriously..... if you have any type of plans or sketches to help out my imagination send them my way, thanks my regular email is pallas1102@msn.com
