RE: Schwintech slide system
Same camper as you. No problems here. As mentioned, don't stop part way in/out. I've read elsewhere to hold the power 2-3 seconds beyond what you perceive as the end of slide travel going in or out.
The part you lube is not the part you see on the side of the slide, just keep it debris free. The part to lube is hidden behind the seals.

RE: Jacking For Tire Change
This exact jack would not get under a flat tire on my trailer, at least not under the spring perch. I carry a small floor jack with a 1x6 if needed.
Do you also carry the important part needed to safely use that jack? By that I mean a floor.
With no load on it, run the jack up. Notice the lift pad goes up in a arc? Normal lifting, the pad stays in contact with lifting point be cause the jack rolls under the load. If the wheels are setting on soft or rough surface the pad must slide on you lift point. At least you're not under when it drops.
Actually it has a swivel saddle with a "scissored" lift arm and doesn't roll. Or, if it did I didn't notice enough to matter. I have actually used this jack twice without issue, so I'm not speaking hypothetically about its effectiveness. Once in a parking lot (on my car hauler) and once in sand (on my camper) at the CG. The 1x6 worked like a charm with the jack in the sand.
I don't know how I lived to tell about it.

RE: Jacking For Tire Change
Ramp/"trailer aid" looks to be a good solution.
I would still carry Powerbuilt 3 Ton, Bottle Jack and Jack Stands All-in-1

RE: Can trailer tires be patched?
First trip out in our last camper we picked up a 1/2 inch bolt. Discount patched it up and it worked fine.

Was that on the back tire of the trailer? I picked up a 3/8 bolt once had it repaired from the inside with no problems. Interesting it was the rear tire on the trailer that got the bolt.
Yep rear tire on passenger side.

RE: What size generator to run AC??
I run a Honda 2200 converted to LP. I also installed a Micro Air on the Coleman Mach. I've had zero problems and I appreciate the lower db and weight/size of the Honda. I've used this set up across a couple campers now and it's worked well for me.
