Dinette slide out works only sometimes?
Hello, After days of internet searches turning up dead-ends in my pursuit to fix my travel trailer slide out issue, I've decided to joing RV.net and make my first post! I have a 2004 R-Vision Tr...

I know it's been a long time since I posted this question, but I thought I'd come back and post my resolution, since I have since fixed this. RedRocket204 definitely had it right, a foul ground.
I pulled out the voltmeter and checked all the leads, everything came up find that I checked, output wise, of 12-13V, when I had the ground test lead attached to metal on the trailer. When I had the ground lead attached to the actual ground wire that came from the slide switch, I had no current. I followed the ground lead through the cabin and out the bottom, followed it about 3 feet along the frame under neath and found it screwed to the frame with a glob of silicone sealant. S****ed the silicone off, pulled the screw out. Then tapped a new screw into a new spot on the frame with the ground lead, and voila! I had current when testing, and slide out works perfectly. Re-sealed the new grounded spot with silicone and case closed.
Thanks for the help!
