creeping slide

We have 2004 Monaco Dynasty with three slide outs. The front two are hydraulic and opposite each other. The slide on the driver's side occassionally creeps out after being parked for a while. It only moves out at the bottom and very slightly at the top. Any suggestions as to what could be the problem and solutions for the problem would be appreciated.

Thanks

I went through the same thing with our 2003 Dynasty a few years ago. I went through all of the troubleshooting steps recommended by HWH because everyone on the internet said to change this or that and when you start replacing components it gets expensive real fast.

Are both front and rear of the streetside slide creeping out? If yes then it is more than likely a solenoid(s). Generally if creeping out it will be the retract solenoid and if the slideout room is creeping inward when extended it is usually the extend solenoid, although HWH recommends changing both solenoids on a particular slide to be sure.:S

If only front or only rear are creeping out then it is more than likely a hydraulic cylinder leaking internally. After the testing this is what ours turned out to be. I had to replace the rear hydraulic cylinder on the curbside slide, bleed and synchronize it. Not a difficult job but was a little time consuming to gain access and R&R the cylinders.

There are tests for these listed on HWH's website but in my experience that is what I have found on ours.
