Hydraulic slides and leveling
Been looking at new trailers and have a question about the hydraulic systems used... The salesman (that does NOT carry those) tells me that they are no good... if your hydraulic unit stops there is ...

We had hydraulic slides in our previous fiver, and yes, there is a manual override if the hydraulics should fail.. which they never did in our case. From our experience, I liked the speed and smoothness of the hydraulics. On the down side, our hydraulic setup didn't allow each slide to be extended individually. The bedroom slide always came out first followed by the living room slide. Other than that, I liked it. Our current rig has electric slides which do the job, but frankly, they take longer to extend. After a brake failed on one of our slides causing it to creep out when towing down the road, I'd like to go back to hydraulic if I could. Just my experience, and others are, of course, welcome to differ. Don't let the salesman blow BS in your direction.
