Default General slideroom knowledge

Just as additional information, a flat-floor slideroom has 6 solenoids.

Unlocking Solenoid - raises the locking pins
Locking Solenoid - lowers the locking pins
Flat floor solenoid - raises the floor to meet the existing floor
Flat floor solenoid - lowers the floor to go under the existing floor
Extending Solenoid - runs the slideroom out
Retracting Solenoid - runs the slideroom in

A rear slide usually doesn't have the flat floor feature so it only uses 4 solenoids.

Unlocking
Locking
Extending
Retracting

So a 2 slide coach has 10 solenoids; 6 for the front slide and 4 for the rear slide.
