Blowing fuses putting slides in and out

Battery is 4 years old and probably needs to Be replaced. It was fully discharged and let sat while at the dealer while repairs were made to the front cap.

Try a new battery first and see if it helps. These things get touché whem you start getting low voltage.

One of the worst things you can do to your battery is let it fully discharge.

We have had the same problem with our 2015 35rok since day one. Finally changed out the 50 amp auto reset and moved the 10 amp fuse for the leveler to the battery side of the auto reset. Haven't had a problem since. Believe that when the auto-reset reset, it was blowing the 10 amp downstream

Yeah that was the dealers fault. They didn’t shut off the battery disconnect when they had the coach waiting for a new cap.

Thanks. I will look at that.

Try checking the amp draw on pump while moving slides. Need to
]separate motor prolem from wiring, or as stated before maybe sometime as simple asubricatiib

Lubrication (guess I still can't type)

Are you familiar with the self resetting fuses? Mine was on the bussbar. Had the same problem as you. Had a tech come to a campground because I couldn't get the slides out or the jacks down. Had been doing the move it a little and wait. He explained that the wait was the fuse cooling and resetting. Finally wore out. He only had a 40 amp on his truck to replace my 50 amp but it worked fine. Went to an auto parts store the next day and bought a new 50 amp. No more blown fuses or having to wait since then .

Yes. I lubricated my slide rails. Thanks

That’s a good tip. I will check that. It could be in the time that I replaced the fuse that the fuse had cooled and reset.

We have the exact same unit and the same problem, first thing i did was to add some lighter hydraulic fulid then it was only doing it in the cold weather so i swaped out the 20 amp fuse for a 25 amp, and i have not had a problem since and i do run two batteries, both are always kept at full charge and there is only one fuse for the hydraulic pump it self.
and the wire is plenty heavy enough fo 25 amps i do pause the pump during cold weather when using the slides

We’re having the same issue with our 2018 Wolfpack325 Pack 13. Can anyone tell me where the reset fuses might be?

Thank you.

Here is mine. I had no clue this was a breaker until the mobile tech showed me. My unit is a 2016 Sierra 5th wheel but maybe the photos will help you locate yours.Attachment 193965Attachment 193966Attachment 193967

Suggest evaluate Converter and Battery (battery,as others suggested).

I recommend you visit You-tube video by "All about RVs" @

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDEeSHrTv1k

-Upgrade to a Smart RV Converter Charger Is It worth it?) to check and replace the converter. Mine was a YES. This is an excellent explanation regarding the battery and the multistage converter.

I changed out my converter to a smart version and it fixed the issue, plus the battery holds a charge better and should add to the life.

It took about a year and I had trouble with an inline fuse/reset button while operating the slides. As you did, I increased to 20 amp. Still had problem. Coincidentally, purchased a new battery and eventually the battery was not holding a charge sufficient to power the slides (reset required).

Best Day Ever!

I havent had any problem with my slides blowing fuses but my stabilizers have blowed the fuse for the remote they still work with the switches on the side of the camper dealer says the stabilizers are being run down too far or to much weight on them but i disagree the unit is a 2018 wildwood 36 footer just bought it in September of 18 used once but has had the fuse trouble 2 times already

If you run the landing gear all the way up or down and hold the switch longer than a millisecond...the fuse will blow.

What you want to do is to mark the stabilizer legs nearest the switch on both ends to make sure you don't run them in or out past the marks.
