Slide repair questions HWH system
Sorry for the length of this post, but
I am going through a repair issue and looking for info, suggestions and opinions.
I have a 2004 Itasca Suncruiser, 33V model on Workhorse chassis with HWH levelers and slide system, 2 slides.
Last year had the guides replaced for the main slide, and noticed that the adjustment seemed lower than the original factory setting, after questioning this my repair shop said it is to factory specs. I noticed it seem about a 1/2" lower in the extended position causing (to me) extra effort to retract the slide.
This year I now have a fluid leak at the slide. Repair shop said front slide cylinder needs to be replaced. Done, now in adjusting the front to back movement so they retract at the same time, they state the rear cylinder is leaking and needs to be replaced.
I believe the wrong adjustment to the slide is causing undue pressure to the system as it now has to lift as well as retract the slide, causing the seals to fail.
Your thoughts?
Thanks in advance
Alan
