Hydraulic solutioning

Rate this Entry
We're in a 5er with 6 point hydraulic jacks and three hydraulic slides (one electric slide) and we encountered a puzzling situation where our jacks would always retract when we pulled in the hydraulic slides, sometimes a little, mostly fully retract. Then the mid and back jacks stopped moving at all unless manually manipulated. Hydraulic fluid was at the appropriate level. Then the 5er would not really auto-level at all. All voltages good and no shorts detected. Many hours on customer support calls and forums, no resolution. Then we saw this video from Chad (https://changinglanesrv.com/rv-travel-day-problems/). Long story short, we replaced the passenger/curb side LCI hydraulic valve at the jack (literally takes about 10 mins and $94 valve on Amazon) and everything works perfectly. Just sharing in case that may help someone else.
