Lets Talk HWH Slides

Hi Al,

The primary reason was to fix the oil leak. With the two new cylinders installed, the room movement was much smoother. Any leakage across the cylinder piston due to wear will affect the movement. We chose to just replace both cylinders rather than trying to fix the old ones.

New cylinders and proper adjustment to the rod stroke did result in a much smoother stroke. My room movement is pretty fast. There is an initial bump as the pins unlock and the slide begins to move.

I know you can do the repair yourself but I'm thinking it may be well worth the expense having a knowlegeable person that knows how to properly install & adjust it and get all the air out of the system which is very important for a smooth non-racking movement.

Yep, the towing harness repair worked out well for you in the end...
