Slide hesitates, sometimes stops
We tow a 2003 Alpenlite Augusta with a flat floor living room slide. This slide extends fine, but has problems retracting in the first 6 inches or so as the slide has to raise. After that, it moves ...

This is for the " stop condition" and not the "weak, strained condition" correct?
Mine just seems weak over the hump in raising the floor. Never has stopped and seems fine other than the lifting while retracting of the slide.
Funny the manual crank handle works fine. I thought I would find binding action but it was smooth as silk.
Not trying to hijack OP, thought it might be related to yours also :B
Well...yes and no. If the motor is working to hard to get up the ramp, and the breaker contact points are a little corroded, then the breaker blinks out for about 10 seconds...and then resets. The more often the breaker resets the weaker it gets.
So it can be a combination of things really. Weak battery sending lower than needed power to the motor. Slides that need to move easier...due to too much weight, need more lube, out of alignment, etc. Or an old breaker that is weak and needs replacement. Or all of the above.
