    If you get them mapped out please post a diagram here... at least in theory all GD-installed six-jack hydraulic systems *should* be connected the same way, right?

    FWIW - and it's not worth much - I was quickly flummoxed by them when the top seal blew on our center jack on the passenger side. I was pretty agitated and impatient - having just found out that instead of departing for our next reservation we were going to be stranded for a week - but I fiddled with them for a couple of minutes trying to see if I could get the other jacks to come up. The slides and jacks seemed to be working together in counter-intuitive ways to increase my frustration, but that may have just been the ignorant and upset operator.

    Assuming they are all the "same", my most forward valve will isolate the curb side slide and the aft valve isolates the street side slide.

    Mine is just the opposite. I close the aft valve to stop the driver's side slide from operating. Best thing is to close one and see what moves.

    Not surprised at all. If you look at the electrical mess of wiring GD did, you know there is no standard, why would the hydraulics be any different.

    When marking the valves I found them to be confusing...

    If you want to extend the curbside only, you need to turn the driver's side valve (and visa versa). Kinda confusing.

    Consequently, I labeled my valves to say "Controls Kitchen Slide" and "Controls Dining Slide", this way we know which slide we do not want to extend and turn that valve.

    By-the-way, I placed the labels on the Propane door so that when it is open I can read the labels.

    Thank you for the helpful tips, I will play with them today and get them marked.
