Suspect hydraulic pump (slides) fading
I have a fifth wheel at an RV park where it now lives. When I arrive I open the slides and when I leave I close them.
When I left last week, the slides moved much slower and I had to push the last slide to get it in.
I fear that I am very close to an ugly problem.
How do you verify that it is the pump? The oil level has been dropping slowly since I have owned this 2016 Keystone Avalanche 38' for 1 year. I filled it about 6 months ago but it continues lose oil.
I can not see any oil leaking. That is a mystery to me. But the leak is slow. If it were a bad leak, the fluid would just get pumped out and nothing would work.
Any suggestions on how to diagnose would be appreciated.
Thank you
