2008 Montana 3400RL slide out question

Do anyone else have this year Montana? Ours has the 4 position valve on the hydraulic pump that is supposed to allow you to operate each slide individually. But on ours, you apparently can't operate the main slide by itself. You have to open it and the opposite one. I can operate the kitchen and bedroom separately, but not the main one.

I closed all of valves except for the main slide out. Nothing happened when I tried to open it. Then I opened the valve for the opposite slide and they both opened.

This is "pure speculation" but could it be a "designed in limitation" to help keep the trailer balanced? If the "big main slide" is significantly heavier than "normal", opening it independently might put too much weight on the wheels/tires on that side, so the valves work as they do to prevent "overloading the substandard tires" ?????

Just speculation, so no guarantees that it's not just a "malfunctioning main valve body"...
