Slideouts Stalling

Wanted to see if anyone has had a similar experience. I have aa 2015 Sierra rear living, mid bunk, with 4 slideouts. All slideouts are on 1 switch. Recently the slides have started stalling both when extending and retracting. When they stall, I wait a few seconds and press the switch again which does the trick although it can take 3 to 5 times of this to get all the slides completely in our out. I’m concerned at some point they are going to stall and not start back.

Anybody had a similar situation and figured out what the problem was?

    The slides need good 12 volt power to operate. If batteries are strong/fully charged, then I would say you have a weak circuit breaker. It should be close to the battery, within several feet. Many are located just on the inside wall, near battery. They weaken with time, but are resetting, the reason you wait a minute, and good to go again.

    Sounds power related. Tow vehicle running, or plugged into shore, and batteries fully charged? Just guesses.

    Anything else running drawing power when operating slides?
