Help

2018 Keystone Cougar 5th wheel, camped for a week everything works fine, time to go home, bedroom slide retracts, kitchen and dining slides won't move. Cranked them in with electric drill drove home. After arriving home all slides worked.
Please let me know your thoughts

Mike, very first thing is to investigate the true condition of your batteries. They need to be at 100%.

I was hooked into 110 and only the bedroom slide worked, when I got home I tried them with both the battery and 110 and they all worked on both.

Again, please take the batteries out and have them load tested--only way you will know for sure.
Should have worked on batteries only--the power for the slides is 12 volt. Being plugged in only sends power to the converter that charges the batteries. Clean all terminals on the batteries also.
Let us know what you find.
