Can only help with one issue, the slides stopping before all the way out. We have an FR 5th wheel bought new in 2012. 2 or 3rd trip out we had slides stopping while extending or retracting. After waiting about 30 seconds could continue. Researched online and discovered a Service Bulletin by Lippert Frames. Many of these have a 40 amp "auto reset" inline breaker on the slides. Amp draw on some slide units can exceed 40 amps and it trips. The recommended fix was a 50 amp auto reset breaker. After 2 local parts dealers told me 40 amp was highest made I checked Amazon. 2 manufacturers make 50 amp. I bought one and installed (bout 5 minutes). 5 years later and no problems.
