Just for giggles try running the engine and see if that helps. Shore power doesn't necessarily mean your engine battery is at full strength. We were told when we bought our Winnie to always run the engine when extending slides/jacks.
your jacks and slides run off the house batterys not the chassis batterys.The reason the guy most likely told u to run the engine is because lots of times people are dry camping etc and are not plugged in.you run the motor so the alternater helps the batterys which helps the jacks and slides go down and out easier
