Thinking Slide Creep

Yahoo Message Number: 94715
Some months ago I mentioned I was having a slide creep problem on the P/S HWH bedroom slide. Turns out this wasn't the case at all. Somewhat of a weird problem which I just got finished fixing. The complete article is here:

Scott, interesting and a good catch and fix.
My passenger side BR slide also seemed to 'creep' out but it was equal and not just one corner. Both my BR slides are HWH hydraulic. What I found was that if I retracted the passenger slide first, then retract the driver's side, the bed mattress would push the passenger slide out about one inch. So, I just always retract the driver's side first, then the passenger side which snugs up tight against the mattress and seems to stay put.

Gary - I figured a few others out there might be dealing with this.
Clear the bedding and retract the slides to make sure you have clearance. Once I suspected this, I retracted the HWH slide first then brought the other slide in. If you watch you can see the second slide pushing the first out by about an inch. Then both slide aren't really retracted at this point. Got clearance? Safe travels.
