Slideouts creeping when opening & closing

On my 3075 sometimes the kitchen slide and living area slide move together when opening and closing - dealer says it is not a problem - what say the experts out there???

Mark - I don't know about the experts, but I have a 3650RK and when I hit the buttom, the bedroom slide goes out first and then the livingroom and kitchen slide go out togeather followed by the dinette. I haven't seen any problem with this and I know several other folk's that have the same occurring with no problem. I think your good to GO. Oh by the way, if you haven't got anything to do in MAY O7 why don't you plan on attending out BRANSON MO Get Togeather there will be some really neat MONTANA FOLK'S THERE>>>>>. Safe Travel John

The bedroom slide will always go in or out first and than the other slides will follow. Sometimes the other large slides will operate simultaneously or individually. Either way it is not a problem.

Since all three slides are running off the same single pump the lightest slide (least resistance) will move first (bedroom). The resistance is based on the weight and any little binding. Once the bedroom is out the slide that has lease resistance of the last two will move. The degree of level on the trailer (side to side) and any binding could cause either slide to move first. This explains why it is a throw of the dice as to which goes out first or comes in first when dealing with the two big slides.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

It shouldn't be a problem, my slides act the same way.

Our slides have operated that way for over six years now. No problem.
