Is it pneumatic or electric on the '08? Our '06 has a double-acting pneumatic cylinder, but at some point I think Tiffin changed the buses to use an electric motor. Which you have is important for troubleshooting. For the pneumatic one, there needs to be enough pressure in the air brake/suspension system to operate the cylinder. Does it start to work in both directions if you start the engine and get the air pressure up?
The pneumatic one opens and closes with some authority, making a definite "thump" in both directions. I have never seen an electric one operated so I don't know whether tidbit this is helpful.
