Slide came out while in storage

Post by KATEANDRODNEY on 5/22/2011, 7:39 am

What would cause one of the slides to come open about 4 inches while the camper was in storage with the battery unhooked. Does anyone known what would cause this?

I think that there has been this Question on the forum before, and been solved, I have not had this problem myself, but your answer will not be long coming with the knowledge of the forum members.
Before I forget welcome the forum from the U.K.

welcome

There could be air in the system, an internal leak, an external leak or a valve issue.

Don't know the answer, but hope it was in covered storage.

I think Earl is on the right track. I was told it takes constant pressure to keep the slide in. So, if there was a leak in the hydraulic system maybe the slide could move out just a little as yours did.
