A lot of problems can be traced to low fluid in hydraulic resevoir (use automatic transmission fluid to fill) and/or air in lines from low fluid level.
This is the first item to verify. I believe the resevoir is fullest when large slides are in and bedroom is out; conversely, the level is lowest when the large slides are out, bedroom is in--may be different in later models, but that is the way my '05 is.
You can also call Lippert for some help, they probably made the system.
