We are traveling with friends who have a 2008 Country Coach Allure 470. When we arrived here in Hazelton, BC to start our 2 month trip to Alaska the back 2 slides would not open. The front 2 slides open fine.
The mechanics here have checked fuses, elec. panels, etc. There is no power to the slide switch in the hallway. Oregon Motor Coach as well as HWH (the maker of the two rear slides) have been called. There might also be a problem with the leveling system. The slides are hydraulic, as is the front passenger slide which works.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, this is about to end our trip to Alaska if it doesn't get fixed. We have been working on this for over 7 hours, help!!!

Not sure if this is your problem.
We had a similar problem with one of our slides. We found a large bolt broken off near the shaft that turns the rail to move the slide out. The bolt got wedged and locked everything up. Once we got the bolt out and replaced it everything worked. It was like a shear pin.

I have also used Kevin Waite and the Country Coach factory both in the Eugene area of Oregon. To find Kevin just google his name and country coach repair work in Eugene.

How often do you need to replace the bolt that holds the slide rails together? I just had one to fail on my 2007 Tribute and the paint on the outside wall of the slide was scratched when the slide wedged open......
