Here we go, looking for help.
Our '05 Bounder has developed sudden electrical problems.
First off we are sitting in the Colorado high country, 9000' colder than a well diggers behind. We were looking forward to heading for Texas monday, to get out of the cold and take care of business. Things were going great, put the slides out to start packing. Well the slides wouldn't go in and none of the lights would come on. We had no power to any of the outlets in the compartments or to our residential refrigerator (don't ask). The remote EMS 900 monitor panel shows 50 amps, but the display that would normally show what is powered does a continuous W round robin. We had one battery that was frozen and the second one was extremely low. Put it on the charger, reinstalled it and the remote panel worked normal, and all the lights were working, however the slides still wouldn't come in. Picked up a new battery to replace the frozen one, brought it up to full charge, installed it. We are back to square one, no lights, no slide movement. We are 15 miles from town, no RV service there and nearly 70 miles away from the nearest shop, but then can't get it there with the slides out.
I'm looking for some direction, hints, etc. Would appreciate any help. If any more info is needed just ask, I'll do what I can. Thanks, and keep smiling!!:)
Put your slides in manually and head for town with your problems, as this would probably be the best thing for now.
If you have POWERGEAR electrics, then just release the electric brake lever on the back of the motor and wrench it in with the square bar or you may find a hex nut for a socket and ratchet on the opposite end. All this should be in the basement compartments under the slides, except for the bedroom and it will be under the bed.
If you don't have this setup, then maybe someone with a like coach will chime in with the particulars.
