SECTION 10 -
SLIDEOUT ROOMS AND LEVELING
If it has rained recently before you retract the
slideout room, we recommend using the
hydraulic leveling system (if equipped) to lean
the coach and drain off any excess water possibly
remaining on the roof before retracting. Lean the
coach slightly to the left (driver’s side) as shown
by raising both right side jacks to let excess water
flow away from the rooftop weather seal and
toward the outside of the slideout roof. Retract
the slideout slowly, starting and stopping to allow
water to drain off room cover.
Retract Procedure:
See “Before Retracting!” before proceeding.
•
Start the engine so the alternator can provide
maximum power for proper operation of
slideout mechanisms.
•
Insert the Safety Lock key and turn to activate
slideout room control switch.
•
Press the Slideout Room “RETRACT/IN”
switch and hold until the room is fully
retracted, then release the switch.
•
To stop retracting the room during operation,
release the button.
•
After the room is retracted, deactivate the
slideout switch with the Safety Lock key, then
refasten the travel lock or latch inside the
coach (if equipped).
SLIDEOUT ROOM – EXTREME
WEATHER PRECAUTION
Certain extreme weather conditions, such as
heavy rains, heavy snow, and high winds, or any
combination of these, could cause damage to the
slideout room cover-awning (if equipped) or
reduce effectiveness of the slideout room weather
seals.
Also, freezing rain and snow can prevent the
slideout cover-awning (if equipped) from closing
and may cause damage to the cover-awning,
slideout room, weather seals, and mechanisms.
To avoid potential damage, we recommend
retracting your slideout room during extreme
weather conditions.

TROUBLESHOOTING –
ELECTRIC
Battery Voltage or Circuit Breaker
Problems
If the slideout room will not work:
•
Turn the Chassis Battery Disconnect switch
OFF and then ON again. This will (in many
cases) reset power to the slideout system.
•
Τ
he chassis battery may be low on charge.
Press and hold the Battery Boost switch on the
dash while pressing the slideout control
switch. This momentarily connects the house
batteries to assist in slideout room operation.
•
The circuit breaker may be tripped. The
circuit breaker, labeled “Slideout Power” is
located on a panel on an interior wall of the
passenger side storage compartment just
behind or ahead of the entrance door.
