SECTION 10 –
SLIDEOUT ROOMS AND LEVELING

SLIDEOUT ROOM OPERATION
– HYDRAULIC
The slideout room extends and retracts by a
hydraulic mechanism with an electronic control
system.
Front slideout room power and travel lock
switches (if equipped) are located either on the
dash, near the main entry door, or near the
Systems Monitor Panel. Location varies by
model and floorplan.
Rear slideout switches (if equipped) are
located on a wall in the rear of the coach in or
near the slide room. Location varies by model
and floorplan.
NOTE: Never drive the vehicle with a slideout
room extended!
To Extend Slideout Room
NOTE: We recommend that you KEEP THE
ENGINE RUNNING WHILE
EXTENDING OR RETRACTING
SLIDEOUT ROOMS so the engine
alternator can provide maximum power
for proper operation of the slideout
mechanisms.
Before Extending!
•
Level the coach and set the Parking Brake. An
interlock relay system will then provide
power to the slideout control switches.
•
Release the Slideout Locks (if equipped).
See
information at the beginning of this section.
•
Make sure exterior compartment doors are
closed so that they will not interfere with
slideout operation.
•
Check inside and outside the vehicle to make
sure that there are no people who could be
harmed or obstacles that could cause damage
due to room extension.
•
If the slideout room has a couch or other
furniture, make sure no people or pets are
seated on them until the room has been fully
extended.
WARNING
Your motor home may have more than
one slideout room. Understand which
switch operates which slideout room prior
to operation. Make sure all slideout rooms
are clear of people who could be harmed
or obstacles that could cause damage
prior to operating any slideout rooms.

WARNING
Keep all persons clear of the slideout
room and moving parts while extending or
retracting. Do not occupy the slideout
room while it is being extended or
retracted.
CAUTION
Check to be sure the exterior storage
compartment doors below the slideout
room extension are closed before
extending or retracting the room to avoid
possible damage to the doors.
