Angry 2017 wildwood stabilizer jacks, awning, and slideout do not work

First trip with my forest river wildwood TT and on our third camp set up the stabilizer jacks, awning, and slideout do not work. Of course the slideout covers the main electrical panel so I cannot see the status of any of the 12 volt fuses, I checked the two inline circuit breakers that are under the trailer on the frame (why in the world are they there?) I pushed their reset buttons and that fixed nothing. I know I have 12 volt power, the tongue jack works along with other 12 volt systems. Problems like this go a long way to ruin a trip.

Welcome to the forum its a great place to get your questions answered. Hard to answer your question if you can't see the fuses.

If you post your model you may get more replies. If you have one that comes with a remote the is a remote circuit board. The remote board is often hidden in a compartment under the fridge or other odd spot. There are no fuse guides for the trailers, sometime the fuse panels or wires have small labels on them. It is best to have a meter of at least a 12v test light handy.

I flipped the breaker on my Rockwood by trying to extend both slide-outs at the same time. It knocked out the same things you describe.

It took a repairman to show me that the breaker for these items were in the storage space where the battery is, below the bedroom.

Don't know what model you have but on our 2017 282QBXL there are fuses hidden under the driver side bunk bed next to hot water heater.

Well, my experience was more than three years ago, and memory fades. I went out to look, and couldn't find anything that looked like a switch.

This may sound stupid but first trip, are absolutely sure you have battery power? I think all those things are battery operated.

I had the exact same problem on my Salem. The fuse wasn't in the main fuse panel, but was in the bathroom under a shelf panel that I had to remove to get to. My fuses kept blowing because I was using the remote control while the 12volt inverter for the fridge was turned on. Since turning the inverter on before using the remote I've had no problems.

This same fuse panel on my 2017 Wildwood 27 RLSS is located below the kitchen counter, hear the hot water heater. As stated above, posting your specific model will help.

Edit: on LarryBoy photo fuse 1 is labeled as slide, fuse 4 on mine. Yours may be different.

Tried all I know

I have pushed the circuit breaker reset buttons on the inline breakers under the trailer, I jumped across their terminals just in case they were bad, made sure tne battery was charged (the tongue jack works fine), I do not have a multimeter or test light, I thought I could go on vacation in a new trailer without my full set of tools. Short of taking the switch panel apart an the fuse box I am at a loss as to what to do next. My roadside assistance found me an appointment in 2 weeks over on the east side of Atlanta, I'm on the far northwest side an hour and a half minimum away. Nobody wants to do forest river warranty work unless they sold the trailer.

Not sure if I may have missed it in the reply's so far but did you make sure the battery disconnect switch is in the on position. This is not the circuit breaker bolted to the trailer frame that you have pushed the reset button on.

hope this helps tim

Did you locate the fuse panel pictured in post #6? You will one exactly like that, and it is in a different location than the converter. On my RLSS it is under the kitchen sink, near the backside of the hot water heater. I'm not sure of the location on the RLSS, YOU MAY HAVE TO SEARCH A BIT.

Are you still unable to get to your main fuse panel since the slide is in? May have to manually open it. Sounds like a fuse prob. I have same rig and I've not noticed another panel under sink near hw tank but then again was not really looking for it. So both your remote and actual switches on control panel don't work?

Thanks to all that replied, I was finally able to get to the fuse box using a mirror and was able to find and replace the blown fuse and all is good now we're happy campers again.

Don't you love it when they hide stuff. Of course the installer will tell you "it's not hidden, it's in a well protected location".

Behind the slide out. Easily accessible if the slide out is out. The fuse is kind of behind the bottom edge of the fuse box door.
