Slide room hydraulics?

Anybody know specific transmission fluid for slide room hydraulic tank ?

Check the color of your fluid. Mine is red ATF Dexron. The new Dexrons are back compatible with the older lower versio number, just check the label if you have the same.

What fluid do I use in a HWH leveling system?

HWH manual says that their stuff is recommended, but Dexron transmission fluid can be used in an emergency. The only negative they state is that Dexron has a red color which might stain the floor.

I also used the HWH fluid.  It's clear and I didn't want the red stain of Trans fluid in case of a leak.
