Reverse polarity
I hooked up my battery backwards on my 1994 skyline Layton and now my slider won't extend. What is the problem and where can I find it?

It will if the battery is connected. Without the battery the converter doesn't put out enough to run the motors. The converter charges the battery so the reserve power is there for the big DC draws.
My converter puts out 60A peak, several times what the slide motor requires (it's on a 20A automotive fuse so it's less than 20A for any significant amount of time). I've read that the hydraulic pumps used by some big rig slides need up to 100A which would obviously be more than almost any converter could supply.
