Slides Out ????

[Tom-Linda_Tracy]

Today we went by our storage lot, and all three slides were partially out. The batteries have been disconnected for the winter, and the RV was locked. Can the hydraulic lose pressure with no battery is supplied? We have had fairly high winds in the area. Has anybody seen this happen before?
Or does anybody have any other ideas?

The valve that opens and closes to allow hydraulic fluid to flow to and from the slide out rams may not be fully seated. For all 3 slides to partially extended, fluid would likely have moved from the reservoir, through the valve, to the rams. If it had just been 1 slide, it might be more likely to be the ram leaking, but with all 3, you're looking for a common explanation.

The valve at the trombetta attached to the pump probably has a set screw on top. You might check that it's seated fully. The setscrew is used for a manual override operation, and if slightly open, will allow fluid to flow through the valve.

Thanks I was suspecting something with the Hydraulics. Will check it out.
