Lippert Hydraulic slide out breaker problem
The slide moves partially out then motor and slide stop moving. After waiting a few minutes and trying again it will move again and compleat the trip out. It sounds to me like a weak breaker. I’m just...

I agree, sounds like the circuit breaker is weak/starting to fail. This does happen over time, and not uncommon. I would replace with a new/strong 50 amp. The amp breaker your system is designed for is the proper one. If you only had a 30 amp system, you would not use a 50 amp CB.

Not always true. Our 2012 5'er slides on a Lippert frame started stopping within the 1st year of use. Wait 30 seconds and continue. When I researched it I found that Lippert had a service bulletin out stating that some trailers with slides had overloaded the starting amps of the auto-reset breaker. The recommended fix was replacing the factory 40 amp with a 50 amp auto breaker. I replaced ours and have not had a breaker trip in 6 years since.
