Full Wall Slide

[Arty1313]

Have a 2017 4369 DS when I retract my full wall slide it will leak back out about 2 inches, Hydraulic level is good.
Thanks for any help

The Winnebago Service Center told me that when my BR slide was creeping IN around 4" when parked with it extended that I needed new hydraulic valves, both the slide extend valve and the main retract valve.

They replaced both and from then on for several months of intermittent use, when I'd drive, that slide would creep OUT around 4". Grrr. Anyway, I contacted AZPete here on iRV2 and he mentioned that it probably had air in the system and that it would slowly work it's way out into the tank. And that's what happened. After a few (maybe 25) Extend/Retract cycles while RV camping and traveling, it now stays in when I'm driving. Leveling was/is good.

So, what you can garner from that is 1) a valve is leaking internally; 2) there's an air leak in the system so check for spots of hydraulic fluid.

According to my slide manufacturer, HWH, it's best to hold the Retract/Extend switch for 3-4 seconds each use when the slides reach their extents. I have done that for many years now.

BUT, according to AI, "The full wall slide on the 2017 Dutch Star 4369 is an electric slide, according to RV Trader. " So I'll shut up now.

Try yelling at the slide and check for wet spots. Oh, and whacking the hydraulic manifold with a rubber mallet. Prolly won't do any good, but very satisfying.

On ceiling of the pass thru bay on the passenger side, you have two white levers on the end of hydraulic lines. With a rag under them, cycle them once, open and then closed.

Ok ....think I have got this thing figured out...received my Retract solenoid today and it solved my problem...the instructions were not even in the ball park...called Newmar and they were very helpful.....by the way if you decide to do this make sure you test the solenoids to see which is which, I was told that 95% of the retract solenoids on my coach are on top but in my case I was in the 5% percentile...on the bottom.
Thanks for all the help
