Slide Problem

2007 Damon Astoria Pacifica; passenger side slide has been working great with no noise or problem until yesterday. Went to retract and would not move (after I brought in other 2 slides). Checked for obstructions and could find none. Tried again and it moved in 1/4 inch so I kept depressing switch until in all the way. Depressed switch and went out fine and stopped at 12" out. Then depressed the switch multiple times to move slide in 1/4 inch with each depression of switch. Any ideas on problem?

Check your batteries for state of charge.

Plug into shore power and try it.

Sounds like low power to the slide. Make sure engine is running and batteries have a full charge, then try it again.

Sounds like a voltage supply issue vs. mechanical. IMHO

Slide problem

Thank you all for lyou replies. Have found works great with on 50 amp shorepower or gen on. Otherwise, even showing 12.7 v. on batteries it is a hassle.
