Customer Question

Good morning, I’m sitting...

Good morning, I’m sitting here in Ormond Beach Florida my slide outs are out on our end for 332 foot and they won’t come in. Last night as I was setting up the leveling jacks wouldn’t extend and after investigating it looks like it that system may be low on hydraulic fluid. Then after about four hours of charging the generator power last night the slide outs finally went out. But this morning they will not retract and I’m trapped here and unable to continue on my trip, help?

Mechanic's Assistant: Just to clarify, which fluid are you talking about? And what color and consistency is it?

First part of my message was supposed to state forest river FR3 32’ Motorhome. Problem is slide outs will not retract this morning

Mechanic's Assistant: What is the model/year of your RV?

Motorhome. Problem is slide outs will not retract this morning It’s the Jack leveling hydraulic fluid. But I’m not concerned about that right now is the jacks are retracted and not a problem. My only problem is the slide outs will not come in. This was the case last night when I was setting up but after about four hours on shore power the slide outs went out. Now this morning they will come back in

Mechanic's Assistant: What year is your RV?

It’s the Jack leveling hydraulic fluid. But I’m not concerned about that right now is the jacks are retracted and not a problem. My only problem is the slide outs will not come in. This was the case last night when I was setting up but after about four hours on shore power the slide outs went out. Now this morning they will come back in

Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your RV yourself? What have you tried so far?

2018

Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the mechanic to know before I connect you?

2018. Nothing else just want to get the slide outs to come in
