A self resetting breaker will work but is the solution for what appears to be an extremely rare problem. We're into our 9th season with our '06 Roo 23SS and have never blown the slide fuse. Only blown fuse was for the range hood/light and that just once.
I give our slide some help opening and closing. The latest trailers have the slide switch on the giant switch panel I assume? Our switch is located above the dinette and I can push the slide out at the same time to help the motor. Once out I push out around the perimeter of the slide to be sure the seals all make contact and hit the switch again. Sometimes moves a fraction of an inch after that. The slide seems to run a little off-square sometimes so I help it come in too.
If the fuse blows or the breaker won't reset there's a hand crank that will move the slide in either direction -- don't lose it.
