An email to Lippert would get you a list of suppliers...
The instruction manual would show the acceptable wiring choices... It appears they all have a centrally located wireless receiver...which requires 12v... From there you are basically adding wires from the manual switches that you already have...which will continue to work... These wires go to the wireless receiver to act as a pseudo switch...controlled by your wireless transmitting unit.
It's just a fancy switch....

Looks like the 2013 Heartland Bighorns come with LINC. You might find a Heartland dealer near you...and they could order/install it for you.
I'm sure they will become available...they're probably just so new...there aren't many online listings for them yet.

Many programmable TV remotes might be able to work with slide outs. Need to check if it needs an RF or IR signal. Might be handy for those of you that have outdoor TV's to have everything on one remote. One I have at home works with ceiling fans, floor fans, space heaters, cable and sat boxes, dvd/blueray players, Xbox, etc.
Easier to keep up with one remote that does it all than a bunch of small ones. Just a thought.

Below is what I've learned about the Lippert Linc remote control system.
There's a panel of relays (in my case), mounted in a space behind my primary switch control panel in the kitchen area. That panel has a short wire antenna hanging from it. I assume the RF receiver is built into this panel too. Since the relay panel is within a foot of the back of all the manual switches, it's pretty convenient to feed a contact closure from the relays to the switches.
To my knowledge, the system is not sold as a retro-fit, but as someone already pointed out, it's likely to come at some point.
I really like the ability to raise/lower my front jacks while in the truck during the hitching process. Not sure I'll use the step light or awning control features. I have used the slide room feature when running the ODS slides out while standing on that side to ensure I would miss the power pedestal and trees.

This is from pulling my switch control panel apart to move some light switches.
