You do not need to replace the fluid for Leveling or slide systems. "Some" Monaco's had a removable step panel for accessing that pump reservoir. Others, you had to crawl underneath and use a mirror and flashlight to see the level. But, unless you have had a leak, there is no way for the fluid to go away. Doug
I'll agree with you in theory, but. On my 2005 Fleetwood Excursion 39S, after using it for two years, the leveling jack alarm starting going off a lot while going down the road and the panel would say a jack was still down.
I stopped to check them many times and crawled under the MH more than once. All of the jacks were up where they belonged. Never found any leaks nor any drips on the ground.
I also checked the reservoir level and it was fine. Still the alarm would go off each trip. So finally I added a little bit of fluid to the reservoir - the alarms stopped and haven't come back.
The OP isn't having any problems, but he should know how to check the slide pump, how to fill it and have a quart of whatever fluid it uses with him.

I stated you did NOT have to replace the fluid, not that you did not have to check it. Both Powergear and RVA jacks systems use a float sensor in the reservoir for jack down indication. It only takes less than a pint to cause the level to be low. Doug
Did I say anything about replacing the fluid??? I was pointing out that I couldn't find any leaks in my system, but yet I had to add just a little bit of fluid. In my case it maybe 3/4" out of a quart bottle to stop the alarms.
