Tough audience. Early 2015 Lance 1172's use Schwintek slides. Later model 2015 Lance 1172's and 2016 Lance 1172's use a Schwintek on the rear slide and a Happijac slide system on the side (dinette/frig).

Thats funny! The rear slide looks like a Schwintek and the side slide looks like a Happijac! Strange! I guess it's a performance check! Bob

Jeff, just curious to hear your opinion...do you think this stuff could be used on the Schwintek Slide mechanism instead of the dry lube with PTFE? I like the fact that it sticks well to the parts coated but am concerned with the paraffin wax as the main lubricant.

Randy - My thought is the same as yours. I'm sticking with the Schwintek-suggested CRC ptttttttfffffffffffeeeee spittle, er PTFE spray for the slide-out. Still have at least half a can left even after 4.5 years of every-3-months use.

Our 1885 is listed as a 2014, but was built in 2013. Our slide very likely is the same as your 2385. What are you needing to know? We did have to have the slide bolted into the wall as it had an issue with the frame pulling away from the outer wall. We did lighten the load in the drawers to less than 50 lbs each, which is what Lance recommends, this includes the outer storage area. Otherwise, we haven't had problems with it. Attached is Lance's 2013 brochure that may give you some info.
