Slideout stops retracting mid-way

Here is the breaker and wire I purchased to upgrade my Bighorn
Bussman 80 Amp Breaker, Red 3 Foot 2 AWG Battery Cable

Just wanted to add that this thread was helpful in getting my issue resolved. so thanks to those who contributed above.

I bought this 2012 Cyclone 300C this summer, and when using the hydraulic landing gear, it would only run for maybe 10 seconds at a time. It would stop, then after another 10 seconds or so, I would hear a click, then it would work again. So I could use it to raise and lower the RV, but it was a little frustrating. When I came across this thread, I knew what to do. I traced the power wiring from the hydraulic pump back to the circuit breaker and verified with my multimeter that it was tripping, and then self-resetting. I ordered a new breaker, replaced it and all is well. I guess they just get weak with use. For now, I see no reason to move to a higher current rated breaker.

The Bussmann CBC-50HB circuit breaker I replaced it with appears to be higher quality - metal bodied vs plastic. We'll see how it holds up. Sure is nice to raise or lower in one single step! I ordered a second to keep on hand as a spare since there are several others in there too.

From the factory: All breakers are on same busbar w/ same wire/cable from battery to it (I have just 1 battery). All the breakers then go to wherever after that and the hyd pump has a wire/cable directly from it's own breaker (50A). I had replaced all the breakers a couple years ago, yet still had issues w/ slide out doing exactly as yours MillerTime. Being frustrated, I asked like yourself as to what to do and below is the result which I hope I explain correctly in words.

1. Bought a 80 breaker
2. Had a co-worker add ends to a 6ga (cannot recall exactly the gauge, but like a car starter cable size) in a 18" length
3. Mounted the 80A breaker near the rest of the breakers on wall.
4. Bolted on one end of 6ga cable to battery post along w/ the factory cable.
5. Bolted other end of 6ga to one post of the 80A breaker
6. After removing the cable from factory 50A breaker for hyd pump, bolted it onto other post of the 80A breaker.
7. Done.
8. 50A breaker disconnected from busbar power.

All other factory breakers were left in tact. So yes, there are 2 cables on the positive post of battery (1 for main buss bar, other for the 80A breaker). Going this route, your by-passing the factory 50A breaker for the pump and now it has it's own "Dedicated" cable & breaker.

If you wish, I cab take a pic tmrw and try to post it (I don't play well w/ computers) as to my set up.

What about the small wire that I believe is for your toggle switch inside your rv?
