Slides Won't (Open or Close)

[dennydecuir]

My 2018 Rockwood Fifth Wheel has four slides. It lives in my driveway connected to shore power. I recently opened it up to show it off, then closed three of the four slides. Realizing I hadn't closed the fourth, I attempted to do so, only to discover that none of the slides would now move. Three of the slides operate from a digital control panel, the fourth, a bedroom wardrobe, has a separate toggle.

I've checked all fuses and breakers. I've reset the control panel. I attempted to override the Lippert controller, but I'm not sure it's getting power. I suspect there may be another in-line fuse somewhere but I don't know where else to look. I can't tow it to a repair shop, and I can't find a mobile repairman in my area. Any guidance or suggestion would be appreciated!!

I need to clarify my previous post: the issue was exactly as MFL, Dick B, and Kellem described (again, a shout out and thank you!!) and if I had investigated further, I might have figured it out, but the FROG forum included a photo of the reset button, and, for dummies like me, a picture is worth a thousand words.

I thank all of you who replied and assisted me with this issue. Ultimately, I went the Forest River Owners Group forum, and discovered that there is a small reset button on a cable block located near the battery box. It is hardly noticeable, and there is no obvious indicator that it has been tripped. I reset it, and all works once again.

I've also realized that a mobile RV mechanic could become wealthy, as there don't seem to be many (reliable) ones around.

All our slides were directly wired to battery pos post due to high amp draw.

Check your battery.

One day at a dealership all the 12V disappeared. They traced it to a hidden circuit breaker in the main line from the battery located just inside the front wall. It was a manual reset (the designer should be shot) and they changed it to an auto reset. I never even knew it was there!

Have you checked the circuit breaker near the battery? It may be just inside on the basement wall behind battery. May be 2, one for landing gear.

Do you have a meter to test for power?
