I know I'm late to the party but.....95% of all slide problems are a weak battery.I'd start there. They do not run on your 30 amp service.(or so the manual says) only the battery.
I'd be curious what you found, who knows it could be helpful so please update us.
We had our bedroom slide work off and on during a long trip from Oregon to Virginia Beach one year. The super slide worked fine but not the bedroom one. Very frustrating. Had to climb into bed with the slide in for our return home drive. Afraid I would get it out and have to crank it in being a rookie at fivers then I thought it would be best to do that. When we did get home I started to check out the individual control switch for the bedroom, no problem there. After searching around I found two circuit boards under the sink counter one was cracked and the other not {super slide}. They were identical so I switched them out and the bedroom one worked sand the super didn't. I took the damaged circuit board {size of a playing card} to my RV repair shop. He took one look at it and said that is a common problem he resoldered it and $35.00 later all is well been that way for several years now. So if it does happen again I can just switch wires back and forth instead of hand cranking. This was in our 2003 Sandpiper. Hope this helps other people with a similar issue..Ray
