Slides creeping out

[Big John]

Our problem with our Montana slide initially started with our living room slide moving out very slowly, stopping then starting again, eventually moving all the way out. Secondary to that (which is a big second!) is once our slides were moved back in, after sitting for about 15 minutes, we noticed that one or all of them would creep out a few inches. Has anyone had this problem? It seems it's even stumped the RV dealer that we've taken it to. Thanks!

First, check the hydraulic fluid level, then, according to Lippert, creeping usually indicates air in the actuators. To purge the air, they suggest that you cycle the slide several times. Once the air is out of the actuators, they usually don't creep in or out any longer. If they are still creeping, you might, if you're under warranty, head to the dealer. Slide systems, especially hydraulic ones aren't cheap to repair or replace.
