First trip with the old girl...

So Friday we took the motorhome out to our local campground. Hagon stone park.... This was the first time we have gone out since taking it over middle of last year... Made it safe and thought we had made it home safely... Well when I was doing my last walk.around I noticed that the slide.out was about inch or so out. Think I may have not gotten it all the way I go inside and hit the button... Nothing... Well maybe the leveling jacks have to be down to make it work. So turneded on the leveling jacks. Heard this wine from the pump. Turned it off and went to motor and saw a puddle of red fluid under it... Followed the dripping mess to a hose that blew from what looks to be an old repair. Ripped it out far enough to get to good playable hose and here we sit... Good grief... Talk about going from heck yeah things are great to about to throw up...Click image for larger version

Yes it happens... It happened on the way home... Guess the hose blew that controls the slide and that's why when I tested the reseviour it still showed full. Electric pump no reason to turn on just controls jacks and slide. That blowout caused the slide to release the 1/2 or so. (And not slid a tooth or something). However when I went to slide it in and run the levelers to try and slide it in is when it dumped gallons on the dirt.... Add insult to injury....
