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.

I believe you are right. We were at DRV for a problem with the slides creeping out slightly. DRV purged the hydraulics. On our way here we continually had problems and today discovered that one of the valves was screwed all the way open and had not been closed. I believe DRV dropped the ball and left it open. Cost us 500.00 to mess up our hydraulic system. We are not happy campers. No one showed up today to help. We will see what happens tomorrow.
