Recently purchased 2007 5er rockwood 8285 haven't taken on trip yet. Parked at my house to do personnel touches. Husband replacing carpet. We have had our one slide out many times and it was in and when I pushed switch nothing happened..not even sound. Checked circuit breaker..ok, fuses..ok, any other helpful suggestions will be appreciated.

Are you checking CB's and fuses for circuit path with meter tester or just visible check? Slides are normally power fed direct from battery with inline fuse or CB.

No, visible check. I went and left it plugged in..maybe after tonight battery will be stronger?

Yes, maybe- if it doesn't work then search for a small black box maybe 1"x 1" x2" length with battery cables attached each end if tripped it will have a button extended or perhaps a lever sticking out of it. This "resetable fuse" will be located close to the battery, often bolted on a frame rail or stiffener. Let us know.

About the only advice I can give to check on a used trailer.
