Strange noises....

We are currently parked on a cement slab with some very heavy bigfoot pads under all 6 levelers, also have tripod stabalizer on the front and two jack stands on the back. Every few minutes we keep hearing a clunking noise that seems to be coming from somewhere near the off door slide or direct behind the water inlet panel. Not real loud, no leaking anywhere...any ideas what is causing this?

What model year is your RV?

Sounds like the hydraulic fluid issue Lippert had a few years ago when the viscosity of the hydraulic fluid being used in the hydraulic system was too light. They solved the problem, as I understand, by adding a thickening fluid to the hydraulic fluid.

If you are still under warranty, I would call DRV. If not, I would call Lippert.

Read instructions! All slides in and all landing gear up then I "think" 1" from top.
