I recently went through an intermittent issue with my front slide not wanting to retract. The issue boiled down to not enough power to operated the front slide while the rear slide worked fine. The hydraulic pump for the front slide to move needs 3000 psi according to HWH field tech I spoke with. In addition, the chassis batteries are the source, not house batteries by default. My issue was finally diagnosed as one of these 3 screw converters from a terminal battery post to a spade battery post not tightening enough to charge battery fully. Replaced it and now is properly charged.

The slide would eventually work after merging batteries and running on high idle for quite a while when I was troubleshooting. Do NOT just assume that just because your gauge shows 13+ volts you have enough voltage. You need amperage capacity not just voltage. After this experience, 12v power will always be my first check when encountering problems.

Best operating procedure to ensure maximum amperage. Engine running on high idle, batteries merged, with shore power or generator to run inverter charger as well.
