Bedroom Slide out Creep

[Marks mobile suite]

High folks, I have an 05 RE3 and the bedroom slide out that creeps in about 3 to for inches every 3 or 4 days starting from the bottom. Its hydraulic and I've never let it go any farther than 3 to 4 inches. I cant see any fluid leaks under the bed or above my battery station. The bed is a motorized King.

Any advice would be helpfull.

Wow yours creeps in ours creeped out. I was told to run slides out in this manner door side 1st off door side 2nd bed slide 3rd and to hold slide buttons for 3 to 4 seconds longer, and when running them in follow same pattern. Hope this works for you. :D

I have the same model and year as you.

Mine only creeps when I run the head of the bed up or down or when I run any of the slides in or out. I always have to run it out that little bit last.

But it only creeps at the bottom, then it stays there. Apparently it is in a "relaxed" position when it is out.

It needs some sort of check valve or something.

For what it may be worth....I had a somewhat similar problem with my '05 TK3 about 6 months (bought it used in '07) after I got it, along with some odd fridge operating problems. Worked on it with suggestions from several sources, but ALL of the slide problems AND the fridge problems went away once I got 2 new Trojan 6-volt batts. Seems the electrical supply to the hydraulic pump and the fridge was inconsistent, even on shore power, with the original batteries. I now have a Charge Wizard on the converter and everything has worked fine since last year. My front legs still suffer from the "initial drop" when trying to raise the front, but it is consistent and I have learned to anticipate it. And the fluid level was not high enough to feed the pump when the big slides were out and the bedroom was in--so I marked everything according to Lippert and now have the fluid high enough to supply all slides without having it too full.
I have NOT had any slide creep since I got the resevoir level correct and the electric power from the batteries corrected.
I hope this helps somehow.
