Slide Out!
I have a friend who just bout a new Winnebago Class C. He said in order to put the slide out the ignition has to be on or the engine has to be running? I did not question it because I have never had...

On our 06, the slides operate off the single chassis battery, not the 2 coach batteries. My guess is that it is easier to do the safety interlocks of the one 12v electrical system. I think they recommend having the engine running just to prevent running the chassis battery down and to make sure the slideout motors get adequate voltage power.
On ours, the slides work without the engine running, but a bit faster with the engine running. They will not work, if the parking brake is not set.

My Outlook Manual says (in all caps) that they recommend that you keep the engine running so as to provide maximum power. The slide will go in or out just fine on the coach/house batteries but you can actually hear the motors run faster with the Ford engine idling.
Safe travels............
