    Slide won't stay retracted

    Our hydraulic dinette slide retracts without any issues, but within a few minutes it slides out an inch or two at the bottom. Any idea what the problem might be? 2008 Hurricane 34B

    Hydraulic lines

    Own a 2009 Georgetown. At this time I had to replace all hydraulic lines. They were seeping fluid and ready to burst. Contacted FR and was told they had stop using the orange hoses because of problems. Be sure to check your lines for leaks.

    Look at your orange hydraulic lines

    I was under my RV inspecting and looking for things that may present an issue down the road. I then came across the orange return lines on my jacks and saw the orange coating was cracking and peeling at many locations. They were not leaking but were a concern. These were on top of the frame...

    Hi Everyone, New to the forum so excuse any fumbling here. I have a 2014 Salem Villa classic that has three hydraulic slide outs.

    Hydraulic jacks snapping/popping sound

    3 weeks ago on the 2nd day of camping I heard snapping/popping sounds that I thought were coming from the electrical pedestal. After going around to the other side of the MH I could tell the sound was coming from underneath. The sounds were intermittent and sometimes louder than others. My...

    I have a 2016 Leprechaun 317SA with Big Foot Automatic levelers. I had a service shop check and fill hydraulic fluid while it was in for other repairs.

    Hydraulic Leak

    We take our RV out about once a month. When we go to storage to hook up, the front bedroom slide is open. We also experience the RV leaning after a few hours of being leveled. No signs of fluid leak, reservoir is full to factory, all hose are tight. Not sure if maybe a Solinoid not closing...

    Hydraulics

    Has anyone found a good solution for cold weather hydraulics? Any time it drops below 40's, my hydraulic system shuts off every 5-10.secs. I replaced regular 10.A fuse with self-resetting circuit breaker to reduce fuse replacement events. I replaced hydraulic fluid with low viscosity synthetic...

    hydraulic valve body

    Has anyone moved the hydraulic valve body for the slides to a more convenient spot? Mine is in the front compartment close to the pump. It is a pain to get to so I'm trying to figure out a better spot for it. It looks like a single hydraulic line made up would allow it to be moved to a different...
