Just for grins I documented my living room slide in action today. Notice the sound of an HWH hydraulic pump motor getting plenty of voltage. All the windows are open and I'm inside my garage so the sound is noticeable:

Hey David
Nice video and good looking floor!
Your slide moves very smoothly especially on the start of the extend.
You mentioned on an earlier post that there was a counter balance or equalizing valve on the hydraulic system that sometimes get out of sync?
After leveling the coach we sometimes experience a jolt as the slide begins to extend. It is not as smooth as yours.
Other times it moves very slow, maybe an inch per minute with a noticable strain on the pump (~150 amps).
My solution to this condition is to let it sit for up to 12 hours and then extend.
Retract is not a problem.
There are no obstructions on the interior rollers and there is noticable daylight at the seals.
New engine batteries.
Any comments
