Help - bedroom slide on 98 Pace Arrow moves out while driving

[michelb]

The bedroom slide (hydraulic) moves out while we are driving. Are there any locks or anything to prevent this? (there are hooks on the floor / slide on the front slide but not on the back as far as I can tell).

We're on the road right now so I was hoping to find an easy way to at least temporarily fix this.

Thanks

Hydraulic Failure - Lessons Learned

in addition, loosen the retract solenoid bleed valve to keep hyd pressure from tearing the fitting off of the floor.
or you could cut dowling or 2x2's or whatever to length and wedge them in the top of the slideout.
i have read that some have used adjustable refrigerator or closet bars for this purpose. i don't know how strong these bars would be.
i hope this helps.

Thanks for the info.

Doesn't sound like I have the same issue as yours since, as you pointed out, you had the problem immediately, mine only come out while I'm driving and moving (I think, I'll pay closer attention to it now). I'll have to search for the solenoids and valves. I'll also look to see if there's anywhere I can wedge anything (although your comment about it being strong enough to rip things up certainly scares me !)
