It is possible your battery does not have enough "umph" to move the slides. (Low charger or could be going bad). Nothing wrong with plugging into shore power. Try it, see what happens.
I agree. Also if your battery is in poor condition I might well cause the slide not to respond even if plugged into shore power.
This thread is quite timely. I actually replaced my battery yesterday because it would not charge beyond 12.4 volts which is usually the cut-off point for a deep cycle battery. Under 12.4 volts, any serious load might pull the drain under 12 volts making it difficult for devices to work properly. In some instances the converter cannot supply sufficient power when plugged into 110v.
