Who buillds Micro Lite slides?

Does anyone know who builds the slide rooms for Micro Lites? I have a 2016 25DKS and I know it has a Lippert above-the-floor slide mechanism, but who builds the actual slideout unit? Lippert? Flagstaff? or ???

I am having some issues with mine that appear to be due to some warping of slideout components (out of warranty, of course) and don't know who to contact about repairs. Any help would be appreciated. What I would also like to have is something like a construction manual for the slide room, so I can see exactly it is put together.

The manufacturing plant in Millersburg In makes the actual slide out. The frame comes to them from Lippert with the slide mechanism installed. The unit is assembled using pre made laminated panels.

I asked this question of Forest River Parts after giving them my VIN and this was the response: Slide Out: SCHWIN TEK -- manufacturer is Lippert Components.

I was advised to do a Google search for YouTubes with Schwin Tek as the keyword. Lots of useful information out there.
