In this video, we show a simple bench-testing setup we use for checking Schwintek slide motors and other 12-volt RV components, including switches, motors, and various electrical accessories. We demonstrate how a basic 12-volt battery, an inline switch, and a few test leads can quickly help diagnose whether a component is working before spending time troubleshooting the coach wiring.
This portable setup allows us to apply power directly to the component, verify operation, test motor direction, and isolate failures in motors or switches. It’s an easy, inexpensive tool to keep in the shop that can save a lot of time when diagnosing electrical issues on RV slide systems and other 12-volt equipment.
