UPDATE: Hmmmm, how do I say this nicely........what a crappy system Newell has put together regarding the hydraulic slide system.
On slide #3, the rear hydraulic cylinder has broken a weld, and that has caused one hydraulic line to be ruptured and another that was kinked and also needs to be replaced. All of this mechanism is sandwiched between two layers of floor, a 5" space. Impossible to access without tearing the top layer of flooring all apart.
The biggest question in my head is why in the world would Newell do something like this: any mechanical system is bound to need some attention sometime in it's life. It would have been so easy during construction to make access panels in the floor, but they didn't.
It certainly puts a bad taste in my mouth regarding the oh-so-great Newell Coaches.
