Correct hydraulic fluid???

Can anyone tell me the correct fluid to use in a Power Gear slide/leveling system on an 06 Charleston? I replaced all the hydraulic hoses and need to refill the system, looks like it may have had Dexron fluid.

Most hydraulic systems use automatic transmission fluid. There are a couple of different types. The documentation for your system should have the information, I have a Lippert and it had it. I believe Dexron is common but check your documents. Per chance you don't have the documents then you might try to search on-line for it or call the customer service dept for your hydraulic system (Google phone no.). Just don't overfill if slides/leveling system are out/down. I made that mistake and had fluid on the ground.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I don't have any paperwork on the unit, but will try to Google it, just thought I would try here first.
