Talking the Creekside 26BKS on our 1st trip to campin SanDiego for a week. Got here and found the slide and awningwon't open. Not good because the three women in the family haveall their stuff in the bathroom which is not accessible whenthe slide is in. All was fine packing up at home. Now granted, Hwy 5 thru LA is not great, but I would not have expectedthis. All fuses good. There's a good 13.5 v on all wires heading Out of the fuse box. Pulled the switch for the slide. Power leads coming up from fuse box do not have 13.6 vOn them. The slide switch and awning are side by sideand since neither work, I now can see why. No power. Also foundan inline fuse behind switch which is good.does anybody have any ideas what could be between thefuse panel and switch that could have been effected. Wire routing is through ceiling . Not very easy to get at.Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks. ... Dave

Check the fuse on the battery slides are wired direct to the batt

The slides should have a manual override to pull then in or out. Mine uses a small tool and power drill. Would at least get you set up so the girls can use the bathroom.

Check for inline fuses (positive side), at or near your battery.Check battery disconnect switch, if you have one.Also look for a circuit breaker that looks like this. They are normally located where the positive battery lead, connects to the trailer. It could be in front of, or possibly inside, a junction box under the trailer, near the battery.They come in various amperage and they are available (under 10.00) at most auto parts stores. Most likely a 30 amp for slide outs.Disconnect the battery, before testing (continuity between the two posts) or replacing the breaker.

Theres one cable from battery to fuse panel. Looks like slide is powereddirectly from the switch. Cant find any relays or additional fuses.looked everywhere. Even removed fuse panel altogether.nothing back there either. Lots of wires going all over. No additionaldisconnects or fuses to be found. I also thought there'd be a manual crank for the slide but I dont see any access for that nor was there any tools included..... just a crank for the jacks.

Found access panel thru insulation barrier under front of TT.opened it to find battery cable going directly up to main batt disconnectswitch. Cant see whats going on with the disconnect. There were no otherjunctions or fuses in there.The way the disconnectits mounted, there no good way to look at the wires behind the wall.Off to disneyland with three unhappy girls. We'll see if the happiestplace on earth can help! :)
