Agree with the above.  I had this happen on a couple occasions, once the battery was too low for the slide to operate, the other time there was some corrosion and a somewhat loose connection at the battery.  After cleaning the battery post and properly tightening the connection, problem was solved.

Have you tried plugging in to shore power to see if the slide will operate then?

+1 start there. Does your battery have a charge? Are any sounds made when you press the switch? On a 179, there is a small control board under the fridge behind a slide panel. I believe it has a couple of led lights. That should tell you if power is making it to the controller.

My 2014 177 rPod's slideout is stuck on the IN position. How do I fix it ? How do I even get to it to fix it ?
