Yes, many of them are single slide, this year and 99. Any thoughts?

Old Scout, my Alpine is a 1999 40 ft front door single slide (FDS).

rjp, thanks for the pump tip! Found the pump on Amazon for seven bucks

WOW-a 40ft with no bedroom slides, not even a wardrobe slide????? I will have to add this to the ever-growing list of things I don't know--[smile]

Thanks everyone for their input. Indeed a bit oily in hwh compartment seals will be investigated asap. Meantime slide stays IN!

Easy to check with the built in dip stick. When adding fluid you'll need a pump to fit on a quart container available at most auto parts store an they are inexpensive!

I get some white squeeze bottles with caps (think catsup/mustard containers) at Wal-Mart and mark them as to what they contain (distilled water, coolant, hydraulic fluid). They hold 8 oz or so, and are easy to handle and dispense fluid into cramped spaces. Just pour into the small squeeze bottle & use. Especially for the HWH - you don't want to OVERFILL. What a mess.
