Took my rv out for the first time just few miles from home to a golf tournament.
Had a great time people enjoyed the rv but got ready to roll up and the slider will not retract. Trying to find the circuit breaker not having no luck.

I'll have to say ; your going to need to add a bunch of info to your post .
Please.

Year, make , model of your class A .
Any info you might have on the slide manufacturer,( HWH, Lippert, Power Gear) , or type , electric or hydraulic drive?
Just the one slide not working , or if you have more than one slide do any of them work ?

Without the information as Skip426 mentioned, suggestions are going to be very generic. May systems are interlocked so check that the emergency brake is fully set and you might have to have the engine running also. Low battery volts can also be a problem so you might need to run the generator to recharge which could take a couple of hours. Check the coach owners manual also. Sometimes it will list the specific sequence of actions you need to take to move the slide(s).

Could use more information but right off the bat,,, If it's a motorhome, make sure the parking brake is set. You might try releasing it and then resetting it to see if that helps.

Welder, it's been 24 hours since your first post. Have you been able to resolve it?

welder34 · 06-25-2017, 09:31 PM

Problem not solve taking to shop tomorrow.

Skip i see you been around a while dealing with RV's a while. Power gear motors and two motor on the slider. Not getting no 12 volt power to motor. Skip i will be picking your brain on RV's.

Circuit breaker may be in pedestal for the bed. Is this the only slide and if others do they work? I can't speak to yours specifically, but mine has to either on shore power or generator. I know that the parking brake has to be set. If you press extend does anything happen? Also, there probably a control box in a compartment on that side that may have a loose connection, especially if you have been in there over the weekend. Also where the circuit breakers are, there should be automotive fuses and if I ain't mistaken the slides are DC. I would be doing all I could to find a solution to retract it before moving. There has to be a solution to allow a manual retraction if all else fails.

Try this, or maybe call the mfgr tech support for some quick walk through troubleshooting.

I don't golf (but balls in the fairway make for nice tactical sniper practice targets

) and I would have been glad to come hang out with y'all and tried to help with the slides.

Take a couple of minutes to fill out your signature with information about your motorhome (MH) so we can better offer advice. This is not only necessary for this post but for all future posts. You do this by:
1) Go to the top of this page and click the top left tab named “User CP”
2) Scroll down and click “Settings & Options”
3) Click “Edit Signature”
4) In that text box type all the information about your MH. Year, model, length, mileage, any aftermarket extras installed and so on.

Where would the slider control box located

Skip426 · 06-27-2017, 10:30 PM

Here's some info , I've got on Power Gear slide mechanisms with multi motor.
Gives a rough idea of the shape of the controller .

UNFORTUNATELY , although Power Gear supplied the parts and wiring harnesses the info is kind of general , BECAUSE , in your case Gulfstream installed the controller and wiring into their coach.
I've seen controllers installed on the opposite wall of the coach from the slide under the sink . My coach's location. Another was mounted to the floor under a kitchen drawer . My last 5er. Another was on the underside of the floor , only visible laying on my back in the basement of a friends coach.

We have slideout problems too. We have a 2015 Thor Challenger and only have a problem with large bedroom slide. It makes a noise going in and out. Took it to Camping World shop and they say it is a 20 hour repair job! Extended Warranty Company says they will only pay for 10 hours of labor will leave us with over a $1200.00 repair! Plus $50.00 deductible! What can we do?
