We have a 2006 Mandalay 40E. Absolutely love it.

The water in the P-trap for the washer has dried up. Happens in our coach every once in a while.

Generator slide gas spring

It's not a gas spring. It is the hydraulic cylinder that moves the slide. If the piston rod is bent, it's likely the cylinder has been damaged internally and is bypassing hydraulic fluid.
