Slide sometimes stops going in or out and then restarts

[Mrz]

I have a 2017 Bighorn 3275EL and on occasion the slides or landing gear will stop, either going in or out. I wait a second or two and it will restart. Any suggestions on what could be happening and how to fix it?

Make sure your battery is up to it. Mine had this same thing happen, after years of not a single issue. I found out my battery wasnt any good. Plus with it getting colder out, the fluid in the hydraulics is thicker and the system draws more current pumping that thicker fluid.

We have an owner-written Hydraulic Slide Starts and Stops user guide that explains in detail what's going on and how to fix it.

Your batteries are not fully charged or you need new ones. You also can upgrade your Hydraulic Breaker to a larger one.
