Re: Slide-out issue
The early Production of this system proved to be unreliable for two reasons: 1. The room would drift out while driving to or from a location. This problem was “fixed” by placing a Check Valve in the system, as noted in the following paragraph. 2. As fluid would be “lost” from the hose between the Master and Slave cylinder, the room would not close evenly. As the room would extend, the front of the room would get ahead of the rear. As the room would retract, the rear of the room would retract ahead of the front of the room. If this condition is not corrected, the room will be damaged. This problem was initially solved by the addition of a small in-line check valve, and was eventually replaced by a Phasing Valve mounted directly on the pump. Custom Cylinders International, Inc. has developed a pump system that eliminates the add-on valve by integrating a special logic circuit to check the volume of fluid between the Master and Slave cylinders on each activation cycle.404Views0likes0Comments
