Half of 12 volt system not working
Just came from first camping trip with new 2020/2021forest river Cherokee ever thing went. Packing up to leave I closed slide and awning with my phone no problem. Back it in my driveway went to open slide does not want to open. Some of the 12 volts work some don’t. Awning and slide don’t open with phone or panel. Everything else works on 12 volts 2
Bathroom fan Kitchen fan, usb water pump refrigerator. Very hard to get at breaker panel with slide in was able to flip all breakers. But not abe to check the fuses at this time. I will have to try harder. Does anyone have any idea why just the slide and awning are not working. Is there a fuse that has popped that they shear. And my phone doesn’t want to connect to the control able any ideas?

What is your camper model? That will help with troubleshooting.

You can manually open the slide with the tool they gave you with the camper.
First thing I'd check are the fuses (12 volt). Not the breakers they are (120volt).

Are you on shore power in your driveway? What is your battery SOC (state of charge)?

I don’t think the RV dealer ship gave me the crank to manually make the slide go out I was able to use a drill. I was able to access the fuses panel and change the blown fuses everything works fine thanks for all comments.

Now you just have to wonder why fuses blew, and when they will blow again. There's a short somewhere.

Assuming it was purchased new, demand the manual cranks from the dealer. You should have one for the slide and another for the power tongue jack.
