12V Mini-breakers

[JohnDar]

Just a little info on the breakers behind the battery. Earlier today, after returning to the storage yard, I needed to open the main slide a bit to get to the rear window. So, at the hydraulic/battery compartment, I closed the valves for the other 3 slides and hit the switch in the compartment. Dummy me, I was pushing it in the close direction, not the open (it's not marked and mounted opposite the inside one). So, after a few seconds, I here a pop and the motor stops. "Oh (fill in blank)," I think, "I've popped the breaker." Before I could locate it behind the battery, I hear another pop and the motor works again (in the right direction).

Moral of story: If you pop the breaker, give it a second or two before committing suicide. It might reset on its own.

My wife was operating the slides last week when one wouldn't move. Of course it worked OK when I tried a few minutes later. I used the opportunity to blame her - I don't get many chances to do that.

That's one of the places I used the trailer's label gun - "In" and "Out" labels attached to the top and bottom side of the rocker switch.

I would, but the switch is mounted so that it faces the rear wall of the compartment. Maybe if I made Braille labels?? I suppose I could explore remounting it so that your idea would work. TBD.
