2017 R-Pod 180 Slide Out Issue

   On our very first shakedown cruise, I learned that the refrigerator chews through the DC battery like nothing. Next morning, we had no battery to bring the slide in. Luckily, I had a booster battery and we got it in, but that was probably the beginning of our problems with uneven slide movement.

	Thanks. I will check it out next time I visit the camper. I guess this can happen if you try and use the slide out with low battery.

	Our controller was behind the lowest panel below the sink. We had a similar problem, but both sides would occasionally move in sync. Turns out we had a nicked wire. Also, we were ending the sliding out or sliding in early in an effort to prevent motor burnout. Lippert says that can get the sides out of sync. https://www.lippert.com/blog/retiming-schwintek-slide-out-preventing-syncing-issues

	My R-pod (2017 R-Pod 180) slide out is only traveling out on one side (rear) and the other side does not move at all. I have seen videos that say that this can be resolved by various operations on the slide out controller. Can anyone tell me where to find this controller and how to get both sides sliding In/out in sync?? Help!! Jon
