If you are at a permanent location, why is the slide needing to go out? Are you connected to shore power? Slides are heavy and relying on just battery power can cause functionality issues.

We are on permanent power also we are going away for a month and I always close it when we leave but it won't close fully slideout is open about 1 inch ontop and 2 inches on bottom motor just stops and won't bring it in fully 1st time this has happened

Repeating... Are you connected to shore power? Lots of youtube videos to help you determine slide type:

If you are on a "permanent site" and have a "permanent battery" that remains connected "permanently as long as the trailer is permanently connected to shore power, your issue may be a battery problem.

It takes both a "fully charged battery" and "shore power" to move the slide. While a "fully charged battery" will move the slide without shore power, the opposite is not always true. Your slide motor can easily use 60-80 amps while moving a heavy slide. Your converter/charger output is only 55 amps (on most Keystone trailers). So, your converter is not capable of providing "all the power" required to move the slide. And, if your battery has a weak or a dead cell, it won't be "pulling its own weight" which can result in a slide that simply can't manage to move "that last critical inch" against the seals and the side of the trailer.... Result, a slide that stops short of being fully closed or fully open...

In short, double check your battery by taking it to a parts store where they can load test it for you.... I'd suspect it's a battery issue and the slide, if it's been working great for the last several months, is still going to work great once the motor gets adequate power.

His slide is a cable slide (screen shot from a sales walk-thru video).

It's a cable slide I'll try checking battery next trip up see if that's the cause thanks everyone for help

Unless it's already been mentioned, there could be something inside the camper that got stuck between the slide and the interior wall.

I have the same TT. It has a Bal Accuslide cable system. The OP can google Bal Accuslide . There are a number of YouTube videos that show how to manually retract or adjust this type of slide

440scout is correct. There is a speaker on the right of the slide that is covered when the slide is retracted. The speaker cover had fallen off on mine and was preventing the slide from fully closing. Worth a check.
