The last time that I used the slideouts, I had to flip the 12v disconnect rocker switch on the panel just inside the doorway to get them to work. I thought maybe I had bumped the switch prior to that and maybe it was in the disconnect position and had to be reset. This time, I have flipped the disconnect switch numerous times and still have no power to the slides. I know that the switch is in the on position because everything else that is 12v works.I have tested and verified 12v power at the fuse panel labeled slideouts. Could there possibly be more than one fuse panel for the slides? Anyone else have this happen to them? All suggestions are welcome.Thanks...Don

My slides have a power lockout. After a wash job at a truck wash I couldn't close 'em. After a panicky brain #*%* moment, we found the right combo of flipping the switches to get them closed. It was there in the owners manual in geek speek. Good luck!

It sounds like your slide solenoid may not be working correctly. Not sure about your model, but on ours it is located in the rear-most compartment on the passenger side and is well labeled. The two large wires on it pass power to the electric slides. You can short those two wires in an emergency and I have also just whacked mine with the handle of a large screwdriver once the ignition is on while waiting on a new solenoid, but a replacement is in order.If you don't know about it, the Tiffin RV Network web site has a great forum (link on the left side of that page) which is a wonderful resource for Tiffin owners. It has no relationship with Tiffin Motorhomes but is ran by other Tiffin owners and has great members sharing info making everyone's life simpler.

Mine have problems/hesitation if the batteries are not up to a full charge. Do you hear the solenoid clicking when you try to move the slides or is everything silent?

Maybe an interlock problem such as the sensor for the parking brakes is not activated. If the slides are hydraulic can you cycle the jacks? Check the owner's manual for what has to be set before the system will allow operation or give Tiffin a call.
