slides moving out when not in use.

I have this issue with my main slides on my FZ 342 leak out I park it in my storage and go to check on it after sitting for a few week to a month and the slides will be pushed out up to 8 inches on the bottom and less at the top. I brought it in to be looked at they said i might need to install slide locks. What are those and has anyone used them? I don't think I need them slides are supposed to stay in until you push the button to move them out. I auto level the 5th wheel when i park it and they stay put. this is just a main slide issue.

Hydraulic slides will creep if there is air in the system or an internal leak in the piston allowing fluid to transfer to the other side. Try bleeding them first, or bring in for service

There are solenoids and if they don't fully seat internally they will allow creep. Seen it a few times. If your under warranty take it in, it only takes about 15 minutes to change the solenoid once the right one is identified. I've done this repair a few times and it seems to be more common for them to fail on the "closed" side.

So I brought it in and all they did was adjust my slides and tell me I might need to buy slide locks. Not to impressed with the answer. But thank you all for the info.
