We have a 2011 Heartland 3100ES 5[SUP]th[/SUP]wheel with 3 slides (electric). I searched the forum for posts on this subject and everything I find seems to be for hydraulic actuated slides. Very little on the electric type so I’m creating this post. But if you can point me to a post with slow electric slides (not the line dance) that would be great too.
Everything was working fine when we last used the 5er in 2019. When out to get some camping equipment for a granddaughter a few weeks back and the slides all move very slow. I’m plugged into shore power 24 hr a day with the battery disconnected. This has always been our usual parked at home setup.
Everything else seems to work fine, all the lights (12 and 120v), microwave, everything. I looked at all the fuses, they’re good. I’m not strong with electrical troubleshooting either. My first thought is to check the ground. On our old 5er there was a main ground wire bolted to the frame. That got rusty once and caused problems. With the underbelly covered on this rig I don’t know where to start to look for a main ground.
Any suggestions on what to do are appreciated.
Thanks for reading.
