    Please Help: Weird Slides & Leveling Jacks Behavior

    Yesterday we moved our Solitude 310GK to a different site within the RV Park we are currently staying in. We closed our slides without an issue, then prepared to hook up to the truck. Upon raising the rear jacks which did raise but as we did so, the slides started opening. We finished the process of hooking up the truck and retracting all the jacks, then fortunately we were able to close the slides. After arriving to the new site, we leveled the trailer, opened the slides without issue, then closed the slides and repeated the process of raising the rear jacks and once again the slides started opening. Any suggestions or ideas where to look?

    If your batteries are fully charged, it sounds like it may be a solenoid valve failing. The system has electrically-operated valves that route the hydraulic fluid where it needs to go based on the commands being received (there's only one hydraulic pump). If jacks and slides are moving at the same time, there's a problem with a valve not opening or closing all the way... in my opinion, of course.
