Silverback slides will not work off battery powe
We have had friends and family helping us to figure out why the slides do not work from battery power. Everything works from shore power, but we want to dry camp in the Smokies. Stabilizer jacks don't work either. Our silverback is a 2013 29RE. Any suggestions?

Look for fuse or mini-breaker near battery, replace fuse if burnt or re-set mini-breaker by pressing small black button......hope that is it.

Can't find this fuse. Checked breaker it is fine. Could the fuse have fallen off? Would it be located on the breaker panel?

I can't find that fuse anywhere.does that breaker/fuse go on the panel. I can't find it. I have spares in the campe, but don't have any idea were it was supposed to be mounted.

In my older Cardinal a fuse that looks like that is "hidden" under a heavy rubber flap, which is in the front storage compartment. I also have found that using only one battery does not supply enough power to work the slides or front jacks.

Must have been a bad battery ... thousands of us use one battery to operate slides and landing gear without issue other than an occasional bad resettable breaker.

If you disconnect your battery does everything still work on shore power?

While on shore power ... if you have the battery disconnect in the position that isolates the battery ... things will still work. You'll just put a hell of a load on the converter if you try to use the slides or jacks. The battery disconnect red lever should not be able to be pulled out if you have the battery in circuit. If you can pull the red lever out ... you are not connected to draw from the battery.

Typically won't work without the battery in line. I lost battery power when working on my lights. Found a reference to this little resettable link and that was the ticket. On my Rockwood TT, it's on the drivers side part of the tongue, on the inside of the I beam just behind the front part of the camper body. It's on one of the main wires from the battery. There is NOTHING in the manual about this. Got the info off this forum and back in bidness. The button is very small.

Look behind the copper buss bars. You might also find the circuit breakers for each of the circuits there.

We have a 2013 29RE they are two different systems. The slides operate on electric over hydraulic, in other words there is a electric motor that drives a hydraulic pump for the slides. There is an over ride switch right beside the motor pump. The fuse is at the back of the pump. Assuming your battery is not dead and the battery cut off switch is on!! I'll try to post pic.
No success on pic post, not sure where fuse is for stab jacks.
