Hydraulic problem?

My mother has a 2011 Wildcat 29RLBS. Both of her slides (super & bedroom) are on the same switch. The bedroom slide extends first, the the livingroom. Overnight her bedroom slide comes back in 4 to 6 inches, depending on outside temp. She has to run it back out every day. Anyone dealt with this problem before?

Yep. If there are no external leaks that you can see, then either the hydraulic cylinder or valve has an internal leak. I have one (the bedroom also) that will move slightly with temp changes. When it gets bad enough I'll fix it

So there is no adjustment on the pump/cylinder?

You can open/close the valve with a hex key just to reseat the valve, but that's about it. I've done that in the past and it helped for my system.

Find your system in these Master Manuals and they will usually have a pic of the valve(s) and instructions on operating manually to reseat. https://support.lci1.com/master-manuals/

As for the cylinders, no adjustment for internal leakage. Some good hydraulic shops can rebuild them for cheaper than replacing them.
