 Stephen,

Found and Fixed My Slideout Failure.

The 40 amp Fuse Holder needed to be crimped down. The fuse barely made contact with it fuse holder. Gently crimped it down and slide failure was fixed. SmileSmileSmile

Smile Found and Fixed My Slideout Failure.

The 40 Amp slide out fuse holder needed to be crimped down. No blown fuse.  Crimped it down gently and the slideout works perfectly.

Smile Thanks Stephan for your suggestions.

The LED that illuminates is for the slide out.

I'll check the fuse(s) with my multimeter, good suggestion even though they they look OK.

How did you check the fuse? A light there would indicate a blown fuse. Did you pull the fuse out and physically check it, preferably with a multimeter, to make sure it is good? If you have an appropriate one, replace the fuse where the light is. It should go out. If it blows and lights up again, then it is likely that going down that bumpy road caused a wire somewhere to short out. You will need to do some tracing of wires to see where the wire might be damaged.]]> Sun, 09 Aug 2020 14:34:09 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13885&PID=135046#135046 R-177 Slide Out Failure : Mistake on the emoji.

 Mistake on the emoji. Should be a frown.

The slide out worked as expected at home but after we pulled the RPod over a very bumpy gravel road the slide out failed to extend.  At home plugged into line power same story.

There is a red light that illuminates on the fuse/breaker panel when we push the "out" button.

Checked the fuses and they are all OK.

Help please, I expect something became disconnected on the bumpy road.
