Slide works its way out while stored.
Hi, The last few times when I picked up our 5th wheel from where we store it, the bottom of the bedroom slide was out by four inches, while the top was all the way in. This happens over a week or two ...

Hi, it has been at the repair place for 2 weeks, and finally got word on the issue. No fault was found with the operation, so the tech called the factory to see if they had a suggestion. They said check the pressure at the pump, it should be 2200 psi. The tech ordered in a pressure checker that could measure the very high pressure, and it did show that it did lost pressure over night.
Now the bad news, the pump,tank and electricals only come as a complete assembly at about $1200 plus shipping markup, labor. The lead time is likely two weeks.
The tech has tried to source parts, but no luck.
Unless the rams have been inspected separately, you don't know if a ram seal isn't leaking, causing the pressure to drop on the pressure-side of the pump. You can drop near-$2k on the pump replacement bill and =still= have an issue if the rams are leaking internally. Also, it could be as simple as some cr@p in one of the solenoid valves not allowing it to close completely, thus leaking.
