2014 big country 3070re hydraulic slides. Seems like Everytime we travel . They don't creep out when it's parked just when moving.No it shouldn't do that.
What year and model RV do you have ???
Are they electric or hydraulic ?
With a little more info we can all help you figure this out.
If hydraulic slides, does it happen every time you travel ?

I tried searching the forum for an answer and struck out.
When we travel I have noticed that one or two slides cheap out an inch or two. I retract them again and everything is fine. Is this normal?

If I recall correctly, the Maryland chapter leaders had the same issue with their Big Country. I believe it is a 2015. They drove down the road and the slide would creep out 1-2 inches. They would use the remote to put them back in while they were driving. During the past Goshen rally, I believe Lippert found a leak in one of the hydraulic rams and had it repaired on site.
Thanks I've spoken with Lippert in the past and they have been very helpfulIt could possibly be a few things, a seal inside the ram leaking and bypassing, a external leak in the system somewhere, or a valve bypassing fluid like Dan said.
Now the the hard part is figuring out which one of those it is. Of course the external leak is the only one you'll be able to see. I would call Lippert and see what they say is the most common issue and start there.

Thanks I will have to look for those lockout knobs. Can't remember seeing anything like it

I don't have any lockout knobs on the hydraulics. It's manageable right now. Maybe I will make it to Goshen next year and have Lippert take a look. Thank YouDid you have any success?

ThanksYou should look for the setscrew or get a tech involved. If the slides creep out further in the future, the leverage the slideout room applies to the side walls of the trailer could be damaging.

Nope, don't have thoseThese are the valves (the aluminum plate with 2 knobs) to the left of the light switch....they don't really look like what you would expect to find.
Thank youCheck out page 6-7 of this attached manual. There is some troubleshooting info as well as hydraulic cylinder testing info there.
I've had a slide creep out and a hydraulic cylinder needed replacement.
Peace

Should you need to move before you get it fixed, I found that heavy ratchet straps run under the rig and holding the opposing slides in is a big help. We got from FL to NH this way.
