Slide out not sliding

Yes, just be careful about polarities. I have done it at times when I let the house battery get too low to power the slides and I did not want to wait for the battery to charge.

Is it possible to use jumper cables from your tow vehicle "running"?

if you need more power connect the tow vehicle if you haven't already, that should help a little. Can you "lift" the slide while the SO pushes the button - thinking maybe the slide is pinching somehow? That helps ours extend the last couple of inches.

We are beginners, so take this for what it is worth. Last month, we had to use the "crank" to work the slide. We had lights on battery AND the pedestal electric, but NO slide. My brother told me the battery works as a capacitator???? And would have to have sufficient strength to run the slide.

All I can say is after purchasing a new, deep cycle battery, we have had no trouble with the slide at all.

Hope this helps!

Remember, low voltage equals high current, and that ain't good.

Start up the X and let it run, that should give you enough

Thanks Jim. Seems like I need some electric. Appreciate it.

It takes much less "juice" to run the lights than the slide.
