Power to Lippert Hydraulic Slides on 29RE
When I have my Group 27 battery installed and shore power connected the 3 slides work great. When I removed the battery for winter storage and try to the use the slide outs they move very slowly. Eventually the last of the 3 slides just won't come in at all.
I have a WFCO III 9855 (55 amp) Converter (I know, its not the best). I have 125' of 10 gauge extension cord from the house. The extension cord plugs into a 30-50 amp adapter cable and the 50 amp cable plugs into the trailer. Do I have enough amperage going to the Converter, which is probably supplying 12V to hydraulic slide motor, for it work correctly with shore power? I never hear the fan kick in on the Converter. It must be working somewhat for it to be supplying some power to the motor.
Because of the way the hydraulic motor is mounted I cannot see the power specification label to know what the motor draws in amps.
