slide bushings
#30

Chappell,
While I don't have a direct answer, maybe I can give you a little idea of how long they will last. When I bought my coach it had 40,000 miles. All four of the bushings were smashed into a rubbery pulp in the bottom of the lock pin sockets. So it appears to me that on my coach I may have to replace them about every 40,000 miles.

I replaced mine in July 2012 and have traveled about 25,000 miles since and they are still working.

As to your question on HWH. In 2000/2001 HWH had a bad batch of hydraulic line that began bursting and spewing atf into coaches. Many rv manufacturers, including Newell, looked for an alternative to a hydraulic system. Electric slide systems were developed by several different companies and HWH lost a lot of market share. Then came the rv downturn around 2009. HWH has downsized and is a much smaller company today. Best I can tell all orders must be produced and are not shipped from a shelf. This can cause some very long delays.
