This is a new one on me - Levelers going down when I push the slideout switches

just got it back from the rv shop and this has never happened before...
testing that the slides go out before I left and nothing happened when I pushed the button (or so I thought!)....

the 'tech' said just keep pushing and wait a bit - the levelers have to go down before the slides go out !

and sure enough, once the jack went down, the slides started going out !!!
I'm like it's never done that before !!!

sounds like they may have connected the hydraulics incorrectly, doesn't it ?

Any ideas ? going to call Monaco in the morning....

Doesn't sound right, but I only have air leveling.

JohnBoyToo-

Interesting... I read this in the 2011 Diplomat owner's manual, page 109:

Quote:
CAUTION
To extend/retract the slideout room,
the ignition must be off, park brake
set, jacks retracted and the motorhome
supported by the air suspension (air
bags). Do not operate the slide out
room with the air suspension (air bags)
deflated or when supported by hydraulic
jacks. Damage to the slide out room, the
mechanism or seals can occur. Confirm
the house batteries are fully charged.
