Slide Creeping Out UPDATE

I was called yesterday afternoon and told they have changed the 2 hydraulic lines and used heavy duty hydraulic hose. They are washing out the belly area and I can pick it up today.
They gave me good and bad news.
First the Bad news, the extended warranty does not pay for hoses they are considered they same as brake shoes a high wear part.
Good news is that the Service Writer talked them into paying for the labour which is the higher bill. I am happy they paid that part of the bill that saved us about $600.

Which slide was affected?
My bedroom slide creeps occasionally but have been told by a RV repair shop that it's the big slide (drivers side) that needs the ram replaced. Wish it was just hoses. I could do that myself.

The hose to the large slide was blown and at first the bedroom slide started creeping then after awhile the large slide started creeping. I have had both cylinders changed and two pumps before this.
They replaced both hose with 3500 psi hoses.

My slide creep on the bedroom slide is not consistent. It doesn't creep out all the time.
I would think that if you had a blown hose, there would be hydraulic fluid pooling somewhere and a lower level in the resevoir. What was the indication that it was a hose issue?

When we got home from our trip the slide did not go out the same so I checked the ATF and it was low. I then checked under the trailer and there was a wet spot on the belly pan material. The small slide came in but the large one wouldn't. I added ATF and pulled the slide in and then a large puddle of oil was under the trailer at the axles.

It amazes me how the extended warranty "covers that" when you buy it but when the chip fall, they ain't covered.
