slide question.

The slides on my new 3400RL go out and back in just fine, however, when I start the process of moving them out, as the bedroom slide goes out, the kitchen slide starts to slowly creep out. The other two are just fine. Is this something I need to be concerned about?

If all your slide valves are open the lightest or slide with the least resistance will move first. That is why the bed goes out first and comes in first. It sounds normal to me. Your kitchen slide is probably the heaviest there for it will move then stop and move again. Once the others are out it should move normal. I hope this helps.
Good luck and tow safe.
Cheers,

Thanks for the response John. Everything seems to move in and out ok, it was just a little unerving to see the kitchen slide start to follow the bedroom at the same time. It stopped after a few inches and waited it 's turn.

Pete,

The Challenger does the same thing. Perhaps this will put your mind at ease a little. When The IRC valves are fully open, it is a natural thing because the pump is trying to pressurize the whole system at once. However, it is a low volumn pump so, it will move what ever wants to move the easiest first.

Hope this answers your question.

Dale and Gail
