Slide out cylinders

[DHickey]

Hey everyone. I have a 2018 solitude 377MBS and I have to replace all Lippert slide out cylinders. I have contacted Grand Design and Lippert and I have been told they need the port to port measurement on the cylinders for them to give me the info on the cylinders. I’d rather not teardown the underbelly just to get measurements. Does anyone know the measurements or the part numbers for the following slides.

Why do you have to replace all of the slide cylinders? If you're paying the bill, it would be much cheaper to simply have them repaired if they're leaking.

All 3 rods are heavily corroded. The corrosion extensive and I doubt they can be reworked for the cost of new ones. We live near the Gulf and I should have put Denso tape on the rods but I didn’t.

I'd never heard of that happening. That would definitely suck, but you might contact a hydraulic shop, you might be surprised at what they can do. Some places will rechrome a piston, and it will be good as new. Just for curiosity's sake, what does Lippert/Grand Design want for their cylinders?

You would think they would have the proper cylinders on file for the trailers. There can't be that many different configurations.

I can find the cylinders for between 200-350$ a peice. Ya you would think Grand design could pull up the info but I guess not. Kinda annoyed by it.

I can certainly see your point. I thought you were trying to buy the cylinders from Lippert/Grand Design, and I've read their prices are over $600 per cylinder. But I agree you're not likely to be able to have them repaired for the prices you're talking about.
