HWH Slide Cylinder Leak - Slide Creeps Out

Yahoo Message Number: 8155
The synchronizing hydraulic cylinder located in the propane bay leaks bad and allows kitched slide to creep out uneven. The cylinder has a shaft that moves in and out with the slide on the backside and appears to have a rubber seal. The oil is running out at the seal. I have lost a good portion of the oil.
I will have to wait until Monday to contact HWH, but has anyone else had this problem? The cylinder part number is AP22187. The Coach cannot be driven due to the slide creeping out at an angle. Any help would be most appreciated...

Tom,

I had to replace my sychronizing cylinder about six months ago. HWH sent me the part and I replaced it my self. It's about a 3 to 4 hour job. Not really that complicated since all the lines are quick- disconnect and are colored-coded for replacement.

The biggest issue is bleeding the system after replacing the synchronizing cylinder. Here, you must loosen and cycle each of the four room cylinders several times until all the air is removed from the system. The instructions are very clear on how to do this, but it does take some time. Of course, getting access to the cylinders is the fun part. I had to remove the sofa (only 4 bolts), and wood panel strips (several screws and staples) above and below the sink and sofa.

HWH was really quick in getting the part out and should be under warranty.
