    Slide:Hydraulic or Electric?

    Hi! I have a used 2014 Forest River Forester 3011DS. Can someone please tell me if my full slide is hydraulic or electric?

    Hydraulic Levelers

    I just noticed on my 14 Solera that one of the hydraulic levelers keeps dropping from fully retracted. It eventually touches the ground. I have never noticed it dropping on trips but obviously would potentially hit a high spot if the RV was going down the road if it did. There is no visible...

    Slide outs extend when extending landing gear

    I have a 4 month old 2022 Cedar Creek 360RL with the Lippert Level Up system. I have had issues with the local dealer's service department (a lack of knowledge and expertise -- long story) and I believe that they damaged something in my hydraulic system when I last had the 5th wheel there for...

    378 XL hydraulic pump motor.

    This started out as a REALLY long post about losing the bolts out of the hydraulic pump motor. After reading it, it seemed rather a bit much. So, here's the short version. While heading to Moab to wheel our new Toad, we stopped at a Cracker Barrel for the night. Went to extend the jacks and no...

    Hydraulic jack question

    This isn't about my trailer, it's about the jack I use for my trailer. I'm hoping someone here has knowledge to share. When replacing the axle I bought a cheap 12 ton bottle jack at Walmart. It works (worked) fine and is tall enough to actually lift the trailer. Unfortunately, the jack tipped...

    2022 39RKFB - hydraulic jacks too low

    One issue we have with the jacks is that when you use the auto level feature, it levels VERY LOW to the ground. The problem, if we are on a sight with a concrete patio that you do not park on, you can't put down the steps and close the door because the steps will not sit flat. Right now, the...

    Slides and Hydraulics Pausing on 2015 371REBH

    Hey all I have a 2015 371REBH I got back in July. Back in October, I noticed my slides and hydraulics wouldn’t work unless plugged into shore power. I took both batteries up to Autozone and neither would hold a charge so I replaced them with two new deep cycle batteries. Everything worked...
