Hi there,
I have the above motorhome that is sitting up at our State Fair with my adult son and some other 4Hers. After driving for 2 hours we parked and set up. At first the electrical didn't work at all either plugged in or on batteries. Every time we plugged into 30 amp the breaker would blow. Finally we found that the four breakers in the battery compartment were tripped so we reset them. Now we had electricity as long as we're plugged into the 110 slot (still blows if we plug into 30 amp). However, the slides will not open. Apparently there is another breaker or switch somewhere in the coach, although no one at GS or the dealer knows where. Jacks work so apparently it's not a hydralic problem. We've tried the following to get the slides out:
1. Emergency switch, hold down for 20-30 sec. engine running and not running, try slides
2. Move driver's seat all the way forward
3. Button or switch under the driver's seat? Can't find one.
4. Check fuses
5. Fuse box at driver's feet? Can't find one.
6. Bottom of kitchen base understove - box with breaker? - Can't find one.
7. Breaker in 3rd compartment on driver's side, separate breaker - Can't find one.
8. Check wires behind switches - all ok
9. Batteries fluid check
10. Hydralic fluid - ok
11. We've looked in every exterior compartment of the coach.
Does anyone have any ideas of items to check?
Thank you,
Alison
