Is your Schwintek slide coming in crooked or getting out of sync?

Before assuming something is broken, there may be a simple procedure that can help get both motors synchronized again!

This week on Todd's Two Minute Tech Tip Tuesday, Robert Healy, NRVTA's Exterior Systems Instructor, demonstrates how to:

Identify a Schwintek slide system / Locate the slide controller / Properly operate the slide switch / Resynchronize both slide motors / Know when to call a service technician

We’re wrapping up another week of training with a system that can leave plenty of RV owners—and technicians—scratching their heads.

RV Absorption Refrigerators operate differently from the refrigerator you have at home, which means diagnosing problems requires an understanding of how the entire system works.

At NRVTA, students get hands-on training that goes beyond memorizing parts. It’s about understanding operation, troubleshooting and developing skills they can use in the field.

Another week of learning by doing. 🚐🔧

Hot water and heat might feel simple when everything works—but behind the scenes, there’s a lot happening.

In RV Water Heaters & Furnaces, NRVTA students learn how these systems operate and develop the troubleshooting skills needed to diagnose problems when they don’t.

It’s hands-on training designed to turn “something isn’t working” into a systematic approach to finding out why.

Learn the system. Understand the problem. Build the skill.

An RV’s exterior is the first line of defense against the elements—and knowing how those systems are built, sealed and maintained matters.

This week at NRVTA, students in RV Exterior Systems got hands-on with the components that help protect an RV from the outside in.

From inspection and maintenance to understanding where problems can begin, it’s another layer of practical knowledge technicians can take into the field.

Train with purpose. Build your skills. Know the RV.
