When we are traveling, we pile all of the loose stuff and furniture in the RV onto the bed. Without the slide extended there is no way to really get at the bed. It really isn't too much of a problem, as we have gotten in the habit of sleeping in the living room when we are on the road. I get the couch and Forry loves sleeping in the Lazy Boy chair he got for Christmas. It just seems a lot easier to empty the things off of the couch and chair then to unpack the bed...
This afternoon we went out to take a look and see what had happened this time (we have experienced problems with the hydraulic hoses to this slide at least twice before).
We had taken over the radiator shield in the above picture (it's upside down) and set it aside --
This rather blurry picture is the coupling of the hydraulic line. The hose should be connected there on the left side...
And here is the end of the hose which Forry fished out, It looks like it pulled entirely loose from the coupling.
It looks like we may be changing our plans for heading from here to Spokane. We may just go down the Columbia Gorge instead and go directly Uhlmann RV in Chehalis. I emailed the above picture to Jim Jusilla, the shop foreman. He responded that they would be able to fix it, but the time frame will depend upon rather or not they are able to obtain a hose locally...
At least this time, the slide is all the way in. Last time we had a problem with it, it kept creeping out about 2-3 inches when we traveled. We'd have to stop occasionally and get it back in.
Strange, the way those things work or don't work. Ours turned out to be that we needed new batteries. Yours obviously is a different problem. Grrr!! Hope you get a quick and inexpensive fix!
