Slide out problem
Last weekend went camping and slide out would not extend. Took it to dealer and they said it was because the battery disconnect was not turned on. Esentially he was saying the slide out operated off...

The slide can draw a LOT of amps... in some cases more than the converter can supply. In that case the Battery is needed. Even though it has worked before, it can need more amps depending on how the TT is parked, or perhaps the mechanicals need lubrication, or the seals are getting stiff etc.
Many TT manufacturers even have a sticker by the slide button stating that a battery is needed to use the slide. Some put it in the owners manual instead.
I also keep my Van running and the charge ckt energized when traveling and stopping for the day before I have all my utilities hooked up so the slide goes out quicker. I only have one battery since we almost never are anywhere w/o shore power. My slide is hooked up directly to the battery thru it's own dedicated resetting circuit breaker.
