What problems have you seen with the cable slides? I haven't been reading about slide issues. We just purchased an Outback 298RE and enjoying it so far. We have been out just 3 times so far, but no issues found yet. I'm wondering what I need to keep an eye on.

IMO, it is important to monitor cable tension on a cable slide system or it will do odd things that can lead to damage. I have had problems with the rubber pads covering the cable entry holes on the slide frame. They do my adhere well or survive the compression from the brackets very well on long trips.

I'll PM you, but roughly:
The cables need to be correctly adjusted so they don't ride on the aluminum trim. You can't see where they come through the trim on the outside. You can see it on the inside.

Looking at 2 Montana Legacy models to trade up from 28Rls cougar TT. Huge difference in materials. DW says we need more room for guest travelers.
