I've heard that as well but don't really understand why and I know I have been guilty of that in the past. After we got it all repaired and took a Fall trip up north I noticed Hyd fluid on our driveway when we got back home and had to have all of the passenger side slide cylinders rebuilt. Luckily nothing was damaged that time other than my wallet again.

Last June right after we returned from Death Valley the synchronizing cylinder for the driver side slide blew a seal. I wasn't paying attention while trying to retract it and the slide tried to come in crooked and ended up getting bound up part way in. couldn't extend it back out or move it at all. It sat in our driveway and took almost 2 months before I finally got help to get it straight and back in. Lazydays pulled all 3 of the hyd cyl's out so I could get them rebuilt and reinstalled. Because nothing was labeled on the pump wiring or solenoids, that slowed the trouble shooting process. I ended up making a chart identifying what each solenoid was for and stapled it to the bottom of the step access cover. Next step I plan on labeling all of the wiring. You'll notice that when the slides are extending the cylinders are retracting. I just thank GOD this didn't happen while we were camping out in Death Valley ! BTW, it cost $110/cyl to have them rebuilt but the Lazydays bill was just under the 5 figure mark! Fortunately they didn't have to remove the slide but did have to repair the damage to it.
