everything but my slideouts are working
Everything on the 5th wheel is working except for the slideouts, no sound of the motors running at all. I did get them going for a second, after wiggling a few wires on the battery.... but they haven...
Forum Discussion
my trailer slideouts come directly off the battery using these auto-reset 12VDC circuit breakers... These breakers are hanging off the battery terminals. When the slideouts draw too much current from dragging or low DC VOLTAGE they will cause this 12VDC circuit breaker to trip. Then around 2-4 seconds later the circuit breaker will reset itself after cooling down and it will try to operate again.
Looks something like this
Found this photo on google showing four such circuit breakers being used to control slideouts and landing gear from a WildcatCamper forum. These are apparently mounted on the wall adjacent to the batteries.
I have a similar arrangement connected directly to the 12VDC battery positive terminal on my off-road popup for raising the electric operated roof. Straping two together like this apparently doubles the current capability of the circuit breaker. My POPUP has two 25AMP circuit breakers strapped together.
Just my observations
