We have a new Trail Runner 27RKS and we were wondering how your slide operates compared to ours. Ours seems like it operates very slow. Almost stopping when sliding it out or in. Like the motor doesn't have enough power. Thinking that our battery might be low on juice, I hooked up our Duracell Power Pack that was freshly charged to compare. The slide operation was the same. Is it normal for these slides to operate so slowly? It was so bad that I was getting nervous thinking it was going to quit working with the slide partly deployed.

I have a 2013 Heartland Pioneer TB-27 that i purchased less than a year ago.
the slide-out twice now has stopped working.
battery has been checked and is good.
terminal connections are clean.
pulled switch and it looks good
under camper, the connections are good and tight.
slide still wont open
no click at motor either

Dave,
had battery checked. It is good.
put multimeter on circuit breaker bar, good to there.
put meter on wire connections at slide motor under camper, while family member hit slide switch.
no voltage.
either switch is bad, or wiring from bar breaker all the way to motor has a short.
gonna call switch manufacturer monday to check price of new switch and order it.
if still doesn't work, gonna call camping world for warranty repair

Did you check BOTH SIDES of all the breakers? One or two of the breakers may have a tiny reset button if no voltage on both terminals. Did you check to see if you had voltage at the switch itself? It has been known to have a fuse in the wire supplying the 12v to the switch. Very unusual for switch to be bad,, but it has happened.

I found the button on the breaker connected to the breaker bar.
i press the button and it wiggles as if it is busted. It doesnt feel like it is resetting.
so with this, i am assuming that the breaker is bad.
will need to call both campingworld and heartland for a replacement breaker tomorrow.

The reset button should push in and stay in when reset. If it won't stay in, perhaps the over-current/short-circuit still exists. Or, as you said, maybe mechanically, the breaker is broken. Look for an RV dealer or West Marine or similar near you. Some auto parts stores may have them too.

Did you check the voltage at the slide motor while the switch was engaged? I would think you need that to get any reading at the motor. You would also need to be very careful at that point. Don't want the slide moving right then. If so , then there probably a junction box with a loose connection.
