HWH Slide Room Cylinder Blows Seal Racking The Slide Wall Sideways, How To Remove HWH Slide Cylinder 

I am working through the process with a very similar problem. This is the most helpful video I have discovered on the issue. Your explanations are far more understandable than most others I have seen, so thank you for that. The HWH company appears to be in problems, with many online comments about difficulty in establishing communications with the company, but even more problems with parts being on back order. In this case I find it problematic that the hydraulic cylinder cannot be rebuilt. I am making the assumption that fact is due to the design and assembly process used in building the cylinder, i.e. the lack of rebuild capability was intentional. Who wants that type of a system? I am accumulating criticisms of HWH and I am still hopeful that the company will step up a bit more on their support of their deployed systems.

Kevin “McGyver” Caudill. Your mind is always thinking of a creative, out of the box, fix. Thanks so much for being so willing to take the extra time to produce the videos you do. I imagine the repairs take a lot longer due to the filming. And then there’s the production time. Thanks hardly seems enough but Thanks! Bruce

Most interesting repair I have seen any one attempt to do. Nothing else like it out there. My slides are electric and they are enough of a problem when they fail. My Levelers are also electric, again easy peasy to work on. Hats Off to you again, and thanks for taking the time.

The best rv channel on RU-vid. Keep on making the videos man. Doing good.

My HWH cylinders have the same aluminum block caps on the rod end of the cylinder. They unscrewed with the help of a 36 inch pipe wrench and I was able to source the seals from a local hyd supply house for both cylinders for less than 30 bucks.

We have HWH slides on our 40 ft rig (2006 model). I do have a couple of leaks that need to be addressed. I hope the parts situation improves. Back orders and delivery delays seem to be common across industries these days, with supply chain challenges. Thanks for the video. You always do a nice job!

Go to hydraulic shop that fixes heavy equipment more likely than not they be able to rebuild the cylinders. Way cheaper and much faster than HWH

Happened to me on my Country Coach. Brought to HWH and they fixed.

Another great video, and one more thing to worry about on my 38-J. :)

Great video Kevin, I love how you verbalize your train of thought, greatly helps follow the process… it’s always repairable if you can work through the process and problems, thanks again

Great work Kevin, I am surprised your hydralic shop can not cut the top of the cylinder off replace the seal and reweld it. Shame on HWH, there parts always seem to be on back order not sure why? I did send one of my levelers back to them about 5 years ago and they replaced the seal in it. Was not that bad of a wait. I would definetly order a spare one to keep on hand, I have power gear electric motors for my slide outs and have spare motors on hand.

Great video.

Kevin, you should wite a book on patience and perseverance. Even if my Wanda is a W22, and doesn't have a pull out mec like yours, it was very interesting anyways. Thanks.

My 1999 winabego is doing the same thing and no one has a clue so frustrating thanks for the video

By chance do you have a slide out adjustment procedure for horizontal on the Winnebago 38J 2005 for the storemore system

Thanks great info just purchased a older 1998 sunflyer with a slideout with hydraulic hwh slide dual cyclinder 1 was leaking but worked ordered a new cuclinder from hwh and changed and now new cyclinder wont pull in all the way and acts like doesnt have pull do we need to do something else and we are also looking for new hanger bolts that support boxes below slide out since 1 older ones is broke any info from would greatly appreciate and keep up great videos.Dave n St Louis

Are those fittings #4 JIC fittings?

Hi Kevin: I love your videos; they are done very well. I have a 2005 Winnebago Journey 36G with a diesel CAT C7 motor. Do you have a video or will be making a video showing how to extend and retract the bedroom slide out. I believe the bedroom slide out only has one cylinder. I have a leak on my bedroom cylinder, I extended it and then started to retract it but it stopped, and fluid started leaking in the location of the bedroom cylinder. Looking at your video I think I either have a split hose or the cylinder seal is leaking, can you suggest what I need to do to correct the problem? Kind regards, Martin

Release the pressure and use a size jack to get it out

I should have noted that my slides are Lippert MFG.
