On the 2010 models, it will NOT be a Schwintek system on the bedroom slides. Our MS is a 2010 and it's all hydraulic. The Schwintek systems didn't start being put on until around 2012.

Since the one you are looking at is a 36TKSB3, that means that the bedroom slide hydraulic system has a flow diverter to take one source of hydraulic fluid and divert it to the two different rams of the slide. (At least it's that way on our 38TKSB3, so I'd assume the same for a 36.) With the flow diverters, ti has been recommended that when operating the bedroom slide, that it be allowed to travel ALL the way in or out without stopping it. I've operated a time or two with a stop before complete retraction/extension and not had a problem, but it would still be advisable to try to follow that suggestion.

Also, with the three slides and the hydraulics, there is a recommended sequence of slide operation to insure that the hydraulic fluid flows in a way that helps the system get rid of any air bubbles. Here is that recommended sequence of slides and Level-Up and landing gear rams.

Order of Operation of Slides and Level-Up


Setup (Legs down and slides out):
1. Front landing legs
2. Level coach with level up legs and landing legs
3. Bedroom slide
4. Kitchen slide
5. Door side slide

Close up (Legs up and slides in):
1. Door slide
2. Kitchen slide
3. Bed slide
4. Level up legs
5. Front landing legs

As for the price, if it is truly pristine and all systems have been checked out to be good, I'd have to think that you were looking at a pretty darn good price.
