What type of fluid goes in the Slide tank?
I have a 2007 Georgetown 350DS with a Double slide. Large Living room slide and a small bedroom slide. I was looking at the tank that holds the hydraulic fluid and it's only half full. Is this norm...

The level may depend on the position of the slide, but since the slide out is a "Double Acting" cylinder I am not sure how much the level will change (Double acting means it can push or pull by the way).
Should be a label on the tank as to what it holds.. May be covered in oil and hard to find.. Clean carefully.
This is correct for most slide cylinders. The fluid displaced when the ram moves is just moved to the "backside" of the ram. NO EXTRA fluid is used from the reservoir. But, there are some type slide mechanisms that do use a little fluid, but not much fluid is used. LCI reservoirs have a low and hi level mark on the reservoir. I would activate the rooms and then see where the level is then retract and see if you are concerned. Doug
Perfect. Will try this today and add accordingly.
