If anybody out there has any ideas.............please let us know.

Our jacks and our slide won't work in our 2010 Bounder 33U. Currently 1000 miles from home and on our way to the Rally in Redmond. Someone suggested a loose wire that sensors when the parking brake is engaged. Makes sense, however we can't seem to find it. Any suggestions?

HH,


If this is a Fleetwood Rally then have the repair crew see what they can do on an emergency basis. It's usually free.

Thanks, Steve. Maybe there will be some Fleetwood reps there. It is a good Sam rally, so it may or may not happen.

HH,

Check the Fleetwood dealers in Redmond or in surronding areas and hope you are still under warranty. Sounds like a fuse but, as you stated, could be a disconnected wire which is a rare occurance.

Go to the hydraulic motor and wiggle the cables while someone inside operates the slide. Could be a bad ground.

We are stopping at a Fleetwood dealer in Redmond tomorrow before going to the Rally. Hopefully, we will get the jacks and slide issues resolved.

And then, there are the transfer switch issues...........long story. Everything is still under warranty, so hope to get that fixed when we get back home.

Thanks for all the helpful tips!

I have had that happen to me as well.
I know my mh is different than yours but what I did was engage the park brake and then quick release quite a few times and then finally it worked,
Good luck
