Slide Operation

[FrankB]

I am thinking about getting a 2014 Wildcat 282RKX 5th wheel and have a question on the operation mechanism for the 2 slides.

Are these slides operated by individual electric motors or are all Wildcat slides hydraulic? I currently have a 2011 Laredo with individual electric motors and have never had any issues. I am concerned about hydraulic operation since I have read about so many recent issues with slide operation on Wildcat traillers.

Thanks in advance.

The Wildcat 282RKX features independent electric slide rooms. There is a switch for the main floor and another for the wardrobe slide in the master bedroom.
