Shamrock hybrid slide out

Check the fuse for your slide out motor. The higher the amperage, the more 'juice' it will use. My guess is its a small, under powered motor hooked to a worm gear that will give it tremendous torque and use very little current.

On my Roo the bolt is attached to the center of the motor case on the end. It's fairly large maybe over 3/4" so you'll want to check. If you go that route, be ready to turn that thing a long time.

not as much as running the furnace overnight. unless you have low batteries, you should be able to run the slide out without using too much battery power.
of course, if you only have one battery and don't conserve power, you could end up with a dead battery after one night.

if you plan of doing more dry camping, you need to go to a dual battery setup.
we dry camp 90 percent of the time so we have the dual batteries plus a Honda 2000i generator.

plus it would help if you posted year/make/model of hybrid, since you don't have it listed in your sig line.
makes a difference in how to manually put the slide in.

Extend it as soon as you arrive, with tow vehicle still attached and running so alternator provides a bit of the power to run the slide.

When you leave camp, wait to pull in slide til wiring to tow vehicle is attached, and running

Your slide operation will still work with your on board batteries

Slides aren't run by battery in hybrids?
