Host F550 4X4 Motorhome Quad Slide 330

I can pretty much say it isn't Schwintek from all the pictures I've looked at online. Mine doesn't look anything like that.
Closest I've found online that matches is a Power Gear drive.

Edit: Just had a group member confirm that it's the Power Gear drive system.

Well DAMN it's finally home... And the slide now works like it's supposed to. The man door was fixed/adjusted and I've had the second oil change for the new engine. Just in time for me to be thinking about winterizing it. I'd guess I've got maybe a month to month and half before I'll need to.

I can't find any kids anymore who want to make some money to do yard work. I'll end up having to cut all the weeds down myself but it fucks with back to do it.

Kids are too busy making those big bucks as YT & IG stars - you know they're all making it big!...

In all seriousness, it took me a good 4-5 landscapers to finally find one who is 'reliable' and reasonably priced... I say 'reliable' because in Aug I had to get on his case to get shrubs trimmed before a family event, even though we agreed to the work 3 weeks earlier...

I have stones down so it's just weeding in the spring and trimming the shrubs a couple times during the summer. And even then, I went through a number of the local landscapers because they were stupid expensive or never came to complete the job.

I remember making $10/hr pulling weeds & mulching for family & family friends in middle & high school... It was great money to make before I could get a retail business to hire me at 16.

My daughter's ex-boyfriend used to do it for me but now he's dating some new girl who doesn't like him being around her.

It's crazy cause as a kid I used to bring my own tools & lawnmower and cut grass for cheap. Not the same world anymore.

Hopefully you can find someone nearby. Not sure if they have it in your area, but I ended up finding my guy on the 'Nextdoor' app. It connects neighbors of an area. So kind of like a local Facebook - yes, still gets 'Facebooky' with people bitching.

But a lot of what I see posted is asks for recommendations on service providers. A lot of times, those recommendations are those 'one guy and a truck' that you won't find on many other apps/websites outside of word-of-mouth.

I had a buddy at around 13-years-old who cornered our fairly large neighborhood with just a push mower and trimmer. He'd just walk it from his house to job-after-job. I covered for him a couple times when he was on vacation and found out he was clearing $30-40 a yard (talking 90s $ - not today $) so it wasn't chump change.

We need more entrepreneurs like that in our youngsters.

Maybe drop by the HS where they have an FFA chapter (Future Farmers of America) and see if they could suggest some kids with a work ethic that would be willing to come help.

There's lot's of talk about those damn "next generations" that don't want to work. Apparently I just got lucky with my now 28 and 26 y/o kids. Their core group of friends are all gainfully employed also.

You also didn’t have Snapchat and Brazzers at your disposal…definitely not the same world.

I'm GLAD we didn't have the internet or any of the bullshit then. Life was a lot better IMO.

It's a DAMN good thing we didn't have that crap back when we were Y.D.A.F. of C. The shit we got away with because we couldn't take and share any video of how stupid we were being... Yeah I plead the 5th... (or 2 or 3)

I don't even want to think of the shit that would have been posted on social media if it'd been around when I was a teenager. Cause I did a lot of stupid shit...

I'd posted this on FB and my mom had a good laugh out of it.

There's no proof so I can plead the 5th all day long.
