Who knew? Power to main slide - bathroom GFI break

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Had a frustrating time this weekend opening up the 39RL hampton.
Note: power turned on.
Walked in thru bedroom door, opened bedroom slide, no problem slide went out.

Squeezed my way to the front to open up the main slide...
NOTHING!
No power, motor did not kick on, nothing.

Battery at 80%

Checked other power, yep working.

Then noticed that the GFI outlet in the bathroom tripped.
Would not reset.

Had to buy a new GFI, (actually bought two, this is the second time a GFI blew which caused a trip into the city)

Once I sorted out that there is line & load. (yes good idea to read instructions of installing GFI breaker) I had power to slide.

The one thing I did not check is now that GFI is working will battery open slide...
Will keep you posted.

	It should be working now. GFI's mess with everything on the line.
