  1. Just a follow up to this post, my 2011 Monarch has trunnion mounted hydraulic cylinders (2 of them). Turns out they are very easy to remove. There are 2 bolts that remove a U shaped bracket that lets the entire cylinder come out (once the nut is removed at the end of the shaft that connects to the slide). My coach had plenty of slack in the hydraulic lines to be able to pull the cylinder out and remove the rear hose. Hope this helps take the "fear" out of this job for someone else in the future.
  2. Thanks Dan, That's how I originally did my procedure and then I switched to level first and then open the slide after reading the warning sticker on the wall and the manual. I may have to experiment with both methods again to see what works best. I have found that I tend to go off level at times once the slide is extended....assuming this is due to the weight. In regards to the hydraulic slide cylinder, I had a professional who deals with hydraulics check out this out yesterday. The good news was he assured me that the cylinder could be rebuilt for around $100. This was a sigh of relief because Lippert had informed me that they had 25 of these parts left in stock, once those were gone they didn't have any more. I would have to hunt this part done somehow if needed in the future. In my case, both cylinders are trunion mounted and it appears they can be removed by just unbolting from the front. Provided there is enough slack in the hydraulic line this should be a straight forward removal and install. I will update this once the work is completed and confirmed for future reference.
  3. Hi Jerry, "Glad" to know that I am not the only one that has had this issue with the slide hitting the trim. While I do level the coach prior to putting the slide out, the more I think about when it started, I believe it was after replacing the control module and having to re-calibrate the leveling system. I'll have to get out the old school level on the floor again and re-check my calibration settings. There's been times when the system says I'm good and it feels off yet. Thanks for the input, it's greatly appreciated! After being told by 2 repair shops today that they are too busy to look into my leaking cylinder, I can only hope someone can shed some light on removing them.
  4. I have a 2011 Monarch 30SFS with a full wall slide. The rear hydraulic slide cylinder has a leak. Does anyone have any experience/tips on removing one of these? While this may be coincidental, I also noticed when putting the slide back in, the ceiling trim next to the "guide rail" has become damaged from the slide lifting and causing the top of the wardrobe to rub the trim and push up on the ceiling. How and why the slide appears to be out of adjustment all of the sudden makes no sense to me as well.
