slideout room doesn't stay closed

Question

Our 2004 Winnebago Brave 34 ft. motorhome has two slideouts. It's the large living room/dining room slide that's giving us the problem. It closes normally, but recently we noticed that after a while, it opens up a little. The gap was barely noticeable at first...but today when I came home from work the slide had opened about 3 inches, and it's just sitting, leveled, parked in the driveway.

If it is a hydraulic operated slide then you have a solenoid that is leaking back to reservoir (hydraulic pressure keeps them open or closed depending on which side of piston has pressure)

If it is electrically operated then the clutch/brake system is out of adjustment or is worn out.

make a set of slide locks..measure the distance between the front of the slide and the side wall of the camper. Cut a 2x4 that size and place in the space on both ends of the slide and it will keep the slide from going out..

This same problem was just discussed in another post. Look for it for answers to your problem also.

My Winnebago came with a strap to hold the slide in. I have never needed it, but I still have it.
