1st Trip Ever Completed, mostly successful

[mrharte]

So 1st trip in the books, everything for most part went well, however, when we were bringing the slides in, the living room slide got stuck for about 2-3 seconds then released shaking the 5th wheel, this is a new unit, is this normal?

I have had intermittent electric slide problems since 2015 22FBS was new. Still don’t know why no power occasionally. More like few hours than few minutes and power restored. Not auto c/b cuz I’ve tested output when slide isn’t working. Good luck trouble shooting. There is some trouble shooting advice on forum here.

Check for anything impending movement. A grandchild dropped a Lego and couldn't locate it. The slide did. It took some contortionist moves, but got it out. Could be a small object or a heating vent screws or a piece of trim catching (yep, experts at all 3). Watch inside to see if it stops or pauses at the same place.

Not having a problem with the power getting to it or stopping, it started coming in for a second then its like someone or something held it from coming in, right side only then let it go 2-3 seconds later, never lost power, just got stuck on something.

Not normal. If the hydraulic pump motor began to bog down, versus stopped making noise, you probably have a mechanical problem.

Check the gears under the slide for chipped or misaligned teeth. Also make sure the slide is pulled in the same on both ends - that it didn't slip alignment.
