Sooo, the other day we got ready to take our3670RL home, in preparation for a 5 day fishing trip north of Leadville, CO.
Everything stowed, one of the last steps is to bring in the slides... Hit the retract button, and NOTHING. What the heck? Worked fine for 4 years! Slides went out just fine when we last parked three weeks ago.
Finally got my brain in gear, and checked the breaker on the bus bar, located just below the hydraulic pump. AHA! Breaker dead. Since I had recently installed a new solar system, I had a couple extra cable ends from the new 2 ought battery - inverter cables I had built. One of those worked perfectly to temporarily bridge the two posts, and bring the slides in. Nothing got hot, no sparks flew, and we got the slides to retract A-OK!
After arriving at the stick and brick, I sat down and browsed the owners manual - this REMINDED me this could be a resettable breaker. On the side of the breaker, was a tiny little button. Pushed the button, heard a click, tried the slide activator button, and the slides were working! I wish a lot of fixes were that EZ.
I should mention, this is the first issue we have had with our Bighorn in about three years. We REALLY love our Bighorn 3670, it has performed well, and held up well, for the punishment we deal out! (Lots of rough dirt roads in our travels - if you want peace and quiet, you gotta travel to some isolated places.)
