What unit do you have?
Since both the slides and landing gear are having the same fault you may have a weak 50 amp auto reset breaker.
Does this happen when plugged in to shore power and battery power?

For about ten bucks I would start by replacing the auto reset breaker. Follow the heavy red wire from the hydraulic pump to the bank of 12 volt breakers to locate the correct breaker.
You might also want to check that all neutral (white) wires at the battery and buss bar are correctly tightened.

Once you located the row of those small 50 amp breakers, you should replace the one that runs your hydraulic pump with a 80 amp. This isnt something new, there are tons of threads on here about this same issue. I have experienced it on every one the four heartland fivers I have owned. You end up wiring a new circuit to the pump motor directly from the batteries. And wa la...no more issues. To date my larger breaker has never needed reset.

From my electronics experience a relay going "click" but no circuit action would either suggest current supply problems (reset breaker, poor wiring connections, or the like) OR a high current relay with burnt out switching contacts.

The relay on my slideout-only hydraulic pump looks like this:

On Edit: I KNEW I had seen these relays on E-Bay before for a VERY LOW PRICE. I did some more searching on E-Bay and found this:
