MOTORHOME SLIDE OUT ROOM CREEP

A technical question answered by Premier RV Services, Junction City, OR

SLIDE-OUT ROOM CREEP - A coach owner recently spoke to our service tech regarding an issue he was having with slide-out room creep.

Slide-out room creep is fairly common.

On a slide-out room’s hydraulic extension and retraction mechanism, there are two hydraulic solenoids per slide-out. Over time the O rings within these slide mechanisms can fail, allowing fluid to bypass the O Ring. This O Ring bleed by is what causes the slide-out room creep. HWH recommends replacement of both solenoids on the room affected by a faulty O ring.

While the problem does require service at your first opportunity, you shouldn’t be overly concerned by a slow creep. You can continue normal coach use until you can get to a qualified service center, like Premier RV Services, to have the replacement solenoids installed.Schedule a service visit and they should take care of you fairly quickly (usually less than an hour of service time per slide room for solenoid replacements in most cases).
