Just not satisfied with the knobs.
With the newer models and the mix of electric slides things have changed some, but lots of us still have the old slide system with no real individual controls other than the knobs talked about here. I dunno about you, but the idea of running in and out to open and close manual shutoff valves seems just sad for what we pay for these things. I posted this mod several years ago, but it still applies if you have the confidence to do the mod. I have 3 slides and chose to electrically control 2 of them. These are basically 12 VDC blocking valves and bases you can get at about any hydraulic supply house, 2 switches sourced at Autozone, and some made up hydraulic hose. I made the switch box out of some wood around the house some spare paneling found at a dealer. I can stop 2 of my slides standing right at the control panel that has the main in / out switch for the slides without doing the "teaberry shuffle" going in and out.
