Jlawles2 My system is an on-demand system in that the pump only runs when a move is called for.
TedS Thanks for the link. Yoda I agree they are pricey.
howson I recalled this thread but was not able to find it. I did find threads that talked about blocking for Schintek slides and am a little leery about doing this with a heavier hydraulic slide. Still a bent flange or bowed wall would probably be less cost than have slides deploy going down the road. Wonder if I should think about securing the jacks? I've heard a couple of stories about them dropping during travel.
Scott'n'Wendy Country Campers We are still 7 months out from our annual service and maintenance but will add an oil change to the list. And yes, I plan to be hitched to the truck before doing any testing.
howson Thanks for the link, I have downloaded the whole service manual. It looks like a test with slides in is warranted. Will follow if this turns into DIY.
Scott'n'Wendy TedS. All good input and will follow if this turns into DIY.
My situation is that locale service centers have a two to three week wait list, and there are not any mobile techs in the area (is at our next stop). We move Wednesday with an engagement on Monday p.m., So with parts store closed today that really leaves only Tuesday to do something that I haven't tried before. Yes, it looks like it should be simple, but what if I run into trouble or can't get a part?
Our next stop is for 7 days. Tomorrow, I will try to schedule a RV Mobile Tech meet us at our RV Park on Wednesday p.m. Tuesday I'll work on some just-in-case blocking for the slides, Wednesday morning will run the slides in and out a few times to try and clear any debris, and then hopefully on Wednesday p.m. I'll be able to get this all taking care of. If not, then on Thursday it will become a DIY project.
