Just for grins ... once you pull the slides in, just barely bump the switch to extend. This will equalize the pressure somewhat on both sides of the cylinders reducing a possible piston seal bypass issue. Let it sit as you have and see if the slide still creeps. The way our slides are plumbed together, any cylinder can effect the others. Some owners really lay on the pump switch after the slides fully retract thinking it will hold them in place way better ... no need as the slides are physically all the way in at this point. All you do is build up unneeded pressure on the retract side of the piston that can possibly bleed over to the extend side and slightly push the slide back out. (if the piston seals are leaking)
Thanks dieselguy, will give it a shot. That way if it's raining, hopefully they won't be out 16-18"!
