Less than 2 years ago, after owning my Landmark 365 for 5 years, my slideouts started getting that same intermittent, start/stop issue I've read many people have issues with here on this forum. So I bought (4) 50 amp switches off Amazon and put one on and it has worked until now. This was the product: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08L7PVJ88/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 I could put one of the same ones on but was wondering if there was a more permanent solution, like an 80 or 100 amp switch?
Is a 50 amp switch enough for a typical slide-out?

Here's a pic of my current 50 amp breakers, which are attached to a bus in succession with around 6, all close together in a horizontal line. Looking at 80 amp breakers on Amazon, I don't see any that look like they would fit. Do you have to improvise to get that larger amp working?

Those are called breakers, not "switches" as you refer to them.

I remember when my father would stick a penny or a larger amperage fuse in the fuse box when the fuse would blow. Then he wondered why the house wiring would get hot. Changing a circuit breaker to a higher amperage circuit breaker is the same thing. If the drive motor or the wiring is not rated for a 50 or 100 amperage circuit breaker you are risking an electrical fire. I would be looking for what is causing the amperage of the slide to trip the circuit breaker that the system was rated for.
