slide start-stop- which breaker to replace

[ronheater70]

Im having a slide start-stop issue. Seems slide is aligned, functioning properly, etc.. So as is common Im thinking the breaker either undersized, or just failing. these Auto reset breakers are not labled, so I dont know which one moves the slides ( I have 4 slides) are all of them typically wired to the one breaker for the slides, then another for the Jacks etc..Full disclosure, this is no longer a Keystone product, we changed floorplans, that forum doesnt get much traffic and this one was always helpful in the past and I figure this part pretty generic, so any help appreciated!

Are the slides hydraulic? If so you can trace the power wire from the pump back to the breaker.

[ronheater70]

They are not Hydraulic, Im just now thinking replace all 3, shouldn't hurt anything I cant imagine?

[chuckster57]

I assume your battery(s) are full charged and pass a load test? I wouldn’t upsize the breakers.

[ronheater70]

Yes, the Batteries are fully charged.so it even trips on Shore power. Im thinking just get same size breakers and replace all 3. I Imagine on of those are for the landing gear and one is for the slides (judging by gauge of wire ) and maybe one is for the awning or something. they say 30 amp, so Maybe I just buy 3 new 30 amps and throw in there..Funny when it as at the dealer for other warranty work we talked about the start stop issue happening once before but he couldn't recreate, and it was fine the first few trips back but now its acting up again, But batteries fully charged and able to run everything else its just the dinette slide.

What type of slide mechanism?

[ronheater70]

It is a Rack and Pinion type. It seems to operate smoothly with no binding, comes in straight.

Change them out with the same amp rating but instead of buying the same cheap ones, get the better Bussman type breakers, which will last a lot longer.

[ronheater70]

Thats what I was thinking, just something that is a lil better name behind it. still run the 30 AMP though. Still a good protection for the Motor etc.. After all it is designed as a fail safe.

[gearhead]

When you say "rack and pinion" are all the components under the slide, or does it have a strip of "gears" on the sides of the slides?

[ronheater70]

For the dinette everything is under the slide.
