My 06 HR Imperial passenger slides will not stay in out position while parked. The front slide will creep in about an inch every 24 hrs until it is about half in - the rear slide creeps in much slower and after approx 5 days; it has crept in about 2". When we are using the coach; daily I have to operate the switch to put front slide back to full out position.
What time of locking device is used for these slides and where would I look to ascertain the problem?

I have electric slides on my coach.

There is a locking system on the motor itself. In my case there is a small lever that you can release in the event you have to manually retract the slides.

You should check yours and if there is a lever make sure that is in the locking position.

Thanks! What causes the locking device to lock and unlock? Is it tied to the electrical system?

Yes, I believe it is magnetic and releases when you extend/retract the slide.

Curtis is your LR slide hydraulic or electric? If hydrolic there will be a hydrolic pump that operates the gen slide and LR slide that is generly located on the passenger side in front of the front axle and it will be a leaking relay.

The passenger slides RF & RR are electric and the driver slides LF & LR are hydraulic. Yes, my generator slide is also hydraulic. How does one recognize a leaking relay? Would it have hydraulic fluid around it? I do not have any leaks that show up on my concrete floor. Thanks!
