Any one know what would make slide out move about 2 inches while driving down the road? I have a Forest river Wildcat 2006 5th wheel. Thanks, Scott.

Its hydraulic. And I have no leaks and not losing fluid.

A leaking valve that allows hydraulic fluid to return to the reservoir is most likely cause. Second possibility would be a cylinder(s) bypassing internally. I'd try cycling the valves several times first. If that doesn't work, determine which valve is the culprit . There may be a manual cutoff or you can manually isolate the affected cylinder(s) to see if that does it; if not replace or rebuild the cylinder; otherwise the valve.

Agree. My bedroom slide would move out on me while driving. It needed a new solenoid and a complete flush of the hydraulic system with new fluid installed. It still will move out about a ?" while in storage. I'm thinking you have a solenoid problem.

I have a full wall slide and have the same issue. 36' RV with about a 32' slide, it came with these:

They are in my owners manual and how to install them. I would install them lower then the picture shows, about 1/3 way down from the top. These will stop slide creep while traveling or in storage.
CAUTION: have some way to ensure that they are removed prior to trying to put out the slide. I put blue painters tape over the slide switch. Similar to hanging your RV keys from the crank handle for the OTA TV antenna. Little reminders.
