36qbok, main slide not working
My guess is that a fuse is blown- I'm just not sure where to look for it (I haven't tried yet).
The last time I brought in the slide just after winterizing the camper, I tried to run it back out for something and it just didn't respond at all. I just tried putting the slide out this morning to stash Christmas gifts in the camper and the slide did the same. I push the button and nothing happens.
Any idea where I should look for the fuse at? Or breaker or any ideas?

Fuses are above the breakers in the power invertet panel. Also at the battery.

Ugh. The converter panel is a hassle to get to with the slide in.  I'll look in there- I do recall they're well labeled. Are there any in-line fuses for slides usually? And if so, so do I find them?

My batter setup is pretty simple- just goes from the battery to a strip on the wall of the camper. I don't recall any fuses there. I can look again. I'll be able to check in a bit when I get back.

Got it working today. The fuse for the slide appeared to be fine. To be safe, I pulled the fuse for the radio and put it into the slide's spot. Still no go.
I tried plugging the camper into shore power to see if it was a battery issue, but again- no go.
In my fuse panel, I have a resettable 30amp fuse. The message said push a tab to reset and it was sticking out. I pushed it and the slide started working.
I haven't tried on battery power, but my bet is that it'll work.
I am curious what made the 30amp fuse to blow and need to be reset.

ependy, sometimes they seem to just pop. I would not worry that you are in an overload situation. Others more experienced on this may chime in. But for me I would continue on, now knowing if it happens again what to do to fix!

Agreed. We've gone for 3 seasons now without an issue there- I'm apt to let lying dogs lie.

Rule you should observe. Move only one slide at s time. The most DC current usage is to start and that rattling stop.

Hopefully it won't hapoen again. But now you know what to do. If a fuse is blowen, any fuse, there will be a red light that comes on at the fuse to make it easy to see which one is blowen. At least its that way on my Sabre. If you pull out the fuse you should see a little red glow.

Well almost, hydraulic pumps and electric slides consume from 30'to over 100 amps. These loads are too high for the provided DC distribution panel. These devices will be protected by "inline resettable fuses" or circuit breakers. Almost always located close to the battery source.

Ours has a sticker that says to only use slides on battery.
I think this would be because the inverter does not have the capacity for the max amp draw the slide motor will pull.

Just saw this thread...all good info. I had something similar happen on the last trip of the season in Nov. Tripped a breaker when operating the furnace, microwave etc..and had to reset a couple of times before it worked. Have not had an issue before, it didn't happen again. I checked my progressive surge protector thinking there were spikes or low draw on the shore power but all was good...sometimes electrical things happen that make you scratch your head. Typically (user) my error
