Hello, all. I’m renovating a 1971 10-foot CO. Tore out almost everything in March and built back out. From the start of this project, the top half of the camper pumps up and descends unevenly. The back end rises first. The front end drops first. The difference is enough to pop the slides out of the guides unless I control the front end with a separate jack.
There are no leaks, and the pump shoves up the back end very well. I am totally new to hydraulics, even simple systems like this seems to be. I am considering installing flow control valves at each ram and wonder if that’s a good idea. Seems like I could use them to restrict flow to the rear rams during pump up, and restrict flow from the front rams during descent. Does that sound like a reasonable solution to you more experienced Alaskan owners?
