Hydraulics - Leveling System vs. Slide

I have a new-to-me 2007 Voyage 35a. The leveling system is the LevelBest 3000. All jacks are leaking badly and do not operate (go up or down). While replacement jacks are available (at $1,250.00 each), I elected to go with Quadra's Bigfoot system (with pumps/motors at each jack). I will receive this system in the next few weeks.

As I continue to go through this RV, I've learned that at least one of the slides is hydraulic. I believe it is the kitchen slide on the passenger side of the coach. The manual is indicating that the hydraulic controls and tank are up under the coach, just behind the driver's seat.

This is where I need some clarification.

I have located what appears to be the main control and reservoir for the LevelBest leveling system. It is in exactly the location specified for the hydraulic system for the slide.

Are these 2 systems (leveling and slide hydraulics) integrated? Do they share any components (fluid tank, etc.).

I'm planning on completely removing ALL components associated with the LevelBest leveling system. However, I do not want to mistakenly remove any components that are used for the hydraulic slide (that works as it should).

As I clicked to post this thread, I saw the sticky for the hydraulic and electrical diagrams (my apologies - should have looked there first). The hydraulic diagram does seem to indicate that both systems use Pump/Manifold AP36777, with "A" and "B" sub-manifolds ("A" for leveling, "B" for slide out).

This would indicate that I do need to leave the "Pump/Manifold AP36777" in place, to allow my slide to operate, using sub-manifold "B".

Now the question is, can I simply disconnect and remove ALL hydraulic lines that go to the leveling jacks and still expect the slide portion to operate? Would I need to plug the line ports at sub-manifold "A"?

Did you contact https://en.visonerv.com/ to see it they have a tested good replacement?
There's a good chance your hyd. jacks may be rebuilt, contact a local hydraulics shop.
