I was working on my unit yesterday getting it ready for a weekend outing and as I was retracting the slides I found that when I activated the big slide switch nothing happened. I hit the switch to extend then reversed it to bring in the slide. Of course it was slow but thats to be expected with the electric motors. I checked my battery and even charged it up before this happened and had the unit plugged in so ac power should have taken care of it. Outside of have a possible bad switch any suggestions?

Something to check is the fuses that are the back of the power converter. If the batteries have been low and you plugged into AC it could have blown the 2-30AMP fuses on the converter, not allowing the batteries to charge and also slowing the power coming to the slide switch. Also check to see if your battery disconnect switch (if you have one) is in the one position. Sound possibly if it is a low voltage/amp. issue. Give it a look and we can go from there.
Good Luck

Thanks wrongway I'll check those things out, out of curiosity I topped my battery off several weeks ago and it took about a half gallon of water I then slow charged it over night. Wonder if the battery is toast now, guess I'll need to take it in to have a load check done. Anyway thanks again.
