Remember, on a HWH slideout, there is CONSTANT pressure on the cylinders when retracted or extended. So, it is not unusual for a leak to take days or weeks to drip. NEVER overtighten the Hose flare fittings. Just snug is adequate. If you bear down on the nut, you will cause a leak at the swivel portion of the hose fitting. As you have done, clean the area and make sure it is dry. Then it should be easier to determine if you have a hose fitting leak or the interior seal of the slide cylinder is leaking. If I had a cylinder seal that leaks just a few drops, I would make a catch pan under that area to catch that few drops. Would not spend the money to fix unless the leak got worse. The HOSE end can be easily replaced with a swedge tool. Doug
