Greetings, I have a 2019 377MBSR Solitude and my slides are coming out when I use the leveling system. Is there a manual or Tech Spec sheet on how to adjust the solenoids to help prevent this or is there a number to call for GD Tech Support??
Thanks
Wow...that's a new one. For support, the customer service number is on the upper RIGHT of the home screen.
I'm thinking your fluid must be contaminated causing solenoids to have difficulty shifting.
Thanks Scott,
I had an issue a while back with the fuse going out and had to bring the slides in manually and in the process adjusted a couple of the solenoids and now it doesn't work correctly. I'll give GD a call on Monday after the holiday.
Thanks again,
Larry
The solenoids are not adjustable. The screws on the solenoid valves are there to manually open and close the valves. If you 'adjusted' a solenoid, you may have opened a valve allowing oil and slide to move without applying power.
Thanks Ted, that's what I'm thinking but was wondering if there is a spec on how many turns it takes to reset to correct setting. I guess I'll call GD and find out.
Thanks again,
Larry
As well as what Ted said, valves usually have a serial number on them and then note the manufacturer..then googling that info can often get you the design specs of the valve.

My brother-in-laws Big Horn 5th wheel with auto level did the same thing. One of the hydraulic lines started to break down. A piece of the hose lining got into a control valve. Dealer disassembled, cleaned and reassembled. Problem solved.

I've dealt with several industrial hydraulic systems (as the second trade - I'm not a hydraulics tech) and contaminated hydraulic oil can make machinery do very strange things when valves can't shift how or when they are supposed to.
