Generator slide oil leak

Bill Fleming · 05-18-2010, 04:50 PM

I have a 2001 36ft Alpine. Recently noticed a red oil stain under the right rail (passenger side) of the generator slide, on the front end. The piston is fitted inside the rail, so has no access. The slide still works, but it is getting harder to close it. Is there any literature, or skematics, on the hydraulic system actuating the slide? Does the entire front end and slide have to be removed?
Thanks for any info.!

Bill, I have not seen any info on the hydraulic system for the front slide. You could try calling Mark Harrah 509-731-7147.

Thanks Jim.
I did contact Mark by email and he referred me to HWH. A local RV shop is taking care if it now. We'll see how well it turns out. I could use it for a while by filling the reservoir, but that is not my choice if I can get it fixed.
