Hi Mullins, What turned out to be your problem? I also have 3110 and my bedroom slide (electric) failed today. While extending it seemed to be moving little slower than normal then at about 1/3 of way, about 1 ft open, stopped completely. Battery is good. I am going to check breakers next, then inspect motor and it's connectors where is the motor located on 3110?2015 Cyclone 3110: This past saturday it worked fine. On Sunday Nothing;(not extending out) no noise, no grinding, nothing. What I have looked at so far are fuses, all good, breakers, all on. the little connectors on the bus bar by the battery, thinking there might be those real small reset buttons, there aren't any reset buttons. I'm trying the rocker switch today. Anybody know where the motor is for the BR slide on this unit?
Kitchen and living area, both slides working fine.
Dave,I too have a question on the bedroom slide. I have a 2013 Elkridge. The bedroom slide will not operate by the switch in the bedroom. It open and close with the remote that came with the trailer. At first I though it might be the switch, so I switch with the one in the main coach (no pun intended), still does not work. Near as I can tell both switches are wired the same. Any help here would greatly appreciated. Thanks

Dave,
If this is a new problem, and you swapped switches, and the suspect switch works ok in the new position, and the substitute switch still doesn't do anything, you probably have a wire disconnected somewhere.
I'd suggest you check the wires at the motor that drives the slide, or at the relay operated by the remote. Perhaps another 2013 Elkridge owner can chime in with the location of the remote's control brain and relays.
Well, after sitting in hot CA sun today, the slide started working again. I was able to retract the slide this afternoon and get it moved. Will have to do some more testing before next trip. Maybe the breaker reset itself, or perhaps a loose connection. I found maintenance manual online for this slide which explains how to manually retract the slide using a hex bit in the end of motor but the motor is located inside above the slide but it's blocked by crown molding above the bedroom cabinets. If the motor failed I would really be in trouble, not to mention the only way in/out of the bedroom with slide closed would be the side window!Hi Mullins, What turned out to be your problem?

Thanks for the info, good to hear no more problems for you! I ran mine in and out a couple more times and it's working fine now...Howdy, As it turned out my problem was not the motor as I thought as well; it was the gear box that sits in front of the motor. Been working great ever since I got it fixed..
What I found out while the gearbox was out of commission is that Hartland has a lousy design on where they put the motor gearbox; it sits above the slide, behind the facia so when the slide is retracted all the way there is no way to get to it unless you are very skinny to crawl up there, which I am not. I have no Idea how the repair shop got the slide out to work on it..Thanks for the info, good to hear no more problems for you! I ran mine in and out a couple more times and it's working fine now...
Not sure what I can do now until it fails again. Will really be a bummer if it fails during a trip what do you guys do when a slide gets stuck extended and you have to vacate your spot!?? I might keep a temporary direct cable connected to the motor that way if it stops again I can measure voltage and/or apply power directly and determine if it's in the circuit or the motor/gearbox.
Yeah that was my assessment too looking at where the motor is. I read the slide out instructions first and it describes how to manually run the motor using a drill I thought cool! Until I saw where the motor is and seemingly no way to humanly get to it, I sure hope I don't have a problem with the motor or gearbox, I agree this is a real poor design.What I found out while the gearbox was out of commission is that Hartland has a lousy design on where they put the motor gearbox; it sits above the slide, behind the facia so when the slide is retracted all the way there is no way to get to it unless you are very skinny to crawl up there, which I am not.
