Looking for some help. I have a 22 Entegra 30Z bought new approx a year ago. Slides have had no issues until today including recent camping trip three weeks ago. I went out today to winterize it and neither slide will move. I tried on battery, generator, coach running not running and even plugged into shore power. I believe there are two controllers so I am guessing they did not both go out. Any thoughts where to start troubleshooting? I still have a year of warranty but don’t want to take it in and find something simple….

On our '21 Esteem, which is a first or second cousin of your coach, there are four fuses that could be related to the slide systems. I only say could, because I've not chased them down and the coach documentation offers no help.

On our coach, in the fuse panel, the #1 fuse is a 30 amp marked as belonging to the main slide and the tank heat for tanks #2 and #3, whichever is which.

The #2 fuse is a 30 amp marked as belonging to the bed slide and the tank heat for tank #1.

The #4 fuse is a 15 amp marked as belonging to the monitor panel (which I'm guessing is the power for the panel on the end of the overhead cabinet by the entry door), the kitchen lights and the water pump. That fuse may include power to the control system for BOTH slides, since both slide have a control switch at that location. THIS IS THE ONE I MIGHT SUSPECT as being bad.

The #12 fuse is a 15 amp marked as belonging to the refrigerator, LP alarm, radio and slide switch. That slide switch could be the two on the monitor panel by the door, as well, or it could just be for the slide switch for the bed slide which is a stand-alone. I think the part of that fuse's circuit that runs up the D/S feeds the LP detector and the radio, which I believe to be mounted under the dash, in the cab. I think the part that runs across then up the P/S feeds the refrigerator and possibly the slide switches on the monitor panel. IT COULD BE THE CULPRIT, as well.

I'd check the #4 and the #12 fuses, or any others that may be marked and referring to either the slides or the monitor panel. But the monitor panel is where both slides share some common real estate.

Good luck, and let us know how you make out. Cheers, and look forward to a ton of great RV'ing in 2023!!

Go to the one of the controllers and see if you have power. Did you try to cycle your battery disconnect switch. Do you have a voltmeter or test light to check the fuses in the fuse panel?

I have a volt meter. I did cycle the main power will try again. As for controllers I need to try and find them.. I will head back out to Rv tomorrow and look.

Hoping you have resolved this by now but if not…how about the basics. On my coach the engine has to be stopped and the ignition key off. My system also requires the parking brake to be set. I only ask because I have tripped up on these very issues before.
Hope you got it.
